Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Last week I posted some of my JOY cards where I replaced the ‘O’ with a vintage paper bauble. Not just any vintage paper but Christmas Carol music pages. Well of course I did the same with the ‘O’ in NOEL, how could I not?

Once again I used pretty printed papers for the backgrounds and both the Penny Black ‘wreath noel die‘ and the PB ‘star noel die‘ for the letters.

I didn’t start out glueing the baubles on their sides but as I organized all the pieces ready for assembly I saw one bauble sitting there askew and it definitely looked cuter that way.

The letters in one NOEL die are bigger than in the other so I used two different bauble dies but it would work with basic circle dies.

There isn’t much more to these cards other than a few bows and die-cut foliage. Since making both the JOY and NOEL cards I have been trying to think of other words I could make where a substitute shape could be added. Feel free to leave me ideas in the comments.
