Today's Christmas card idea comes from the new Cricut Scandinavian Christmas Cards seasonal cartridge that was released on Thursday. Check out the cartridge below:
As soon as I saw this cartridge, I knew I had to cut the "Joy" word art! I thought it was just beautiful.
Then, I decided to make this 5" x 7" card:
Here's the card recipe:
1) Fold a 7" x 10" sheet of craft cardstock in half to form a 5" x 7" card. Ink edges with brown chalk ink.
2) Ink edges of a piece of red cardstock cut at 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" and then adhere to front of kraft card.
3) Cut "Joy" image at 4", all layers with colors as shown. Adhere all pieces together. Lightly ink edges.
4) Adhere "Joy" to a piece of designer paper cut at 6-1/4" x 4-1/4". Ink edges of designer paper. Add this to card front using pop dots.
5) Ink piece of cream colored cardstock cut at 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" and adhere to inside of card.
6) Using glue dot, adhere button to bow. Adhere bow to card using glue dot, as shown.
Products used: Cricut Scandinavian Christmas Cards cartridge, Basic Grey paper, Core'dinations cardstock, button and ribbon from Papertrey Ink.

My favorite soup is true Hungarian Goulash (Gulyas) which is really a soup and not a stew as most people think. A bowl of this soup with good, crusty fresh bread is a real treat!

Love your card! My favorite fall soup is a Mexican soup called "albondigas." They are basically meat balls in a delicious broth.
ReplyDeleteI love New England clam chouder. Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteFor so many years I absolutely hated soup. I always associated soup with being sick so it just gave me a "gross" feeling when I tried to eat. It was only the last couple of years that I have started eating soup and now I love it. My favorite is Chicken Tortilla soup. Love your card, especially the colors you used!

ReplyDeletePrecious card!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Fall is around the corner, because I love to make Brunswick Stew..I have a SUPER easy recipe and the whole family loves it!!

I'm not sure how I missed this post, but just wanted to say how lovely this card is. As for soup, does lobster bisque count? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin soup in the fall!
ReplyDeleteHands down: Texas Black Bean Soup. It's flavor borders on being a chili but it's not as thick and it's so much healthier.
ReplyDeleteLove the card! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall soup would probably be potato leek.
TFS!!!
My favorite fall soup is definitely my Mom's homemade French Onion Soup!
ReplyDeleteLove creamy chicken & wild rice! Yum! The best way to have it is to put some big fluffy croutons on the bottom of the bowl, than ladle the soup on top- yummy!

The joy card is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for the chance to win a wonderful cartridge!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall soup is Chili! The spicier the better! :D Love your joy card! The colors were exquisite! :D
ReplyDeleteMy fav is homemade broccoli cheese soup.
ReplyDeleteOur home loves beans .... we always have a ham hock around and lots of different kinds of beans ... lob them all into the pot, toss in an onion or two, a load of garlic and let'er go. Reduces to a thick consistency and is then ready for some cheese on top and thick slice of crusty bread ... actually two slices. The second one is for the sop'pins in the bottom of the bowl.
ReplyDeleteI love chicken tortia soup. Its is yummy and I it warms me to the soul. Plus the kids love it. Thats always a plus.
ReplyDeleteWe love chili the best. I can my own chili sauce.Then it's very easy to brown the hamburg, add the sauce and kidney beans. It's delish!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, its beautiful! My favorite fall soup is hard to narrow down, as I haven't met a soup that I don't love - chili, beef stew, chicken and noodles, taco soup - YUM! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love a good bowl of creamy cheesy potato soup. One of my relatives made this when my Mother passed away and I have made it homemade ever since. Always warms my heart and my tummy at the same time..
