It’s never to early to get started on those holiday thank you notes!  I used the Stampin’ Up! Lots of Joy and Tin of Cards stamp sets to create a thank you card to share today.

The layout for my card was inspired by Fab Friday 78.

And the colors for my card were inspired by Global Design Project #13.

I started by embossing a panel of Crumb Cake card stock with the Boughs & Berries Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to a panel of Old Olive card stock with SNAIL, then to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a strip of DSP from the Home for Christmas DSP pack to the card front with SNAIL.  Then I stamped two tree images from the Lots of Joy stamp set in Old Olive ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  I punched them out with the Tree Builder Punch and adhered one of the trees to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment from the Tin of Cards photopolymer stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, then I stamped the line image from the Lots of Joy stamp set in Crumb Cake and Old Olive inks under it.  I cut the sentiment out with a Circles Collection Framelits Die and adhered it with SNAIL to a 2-1/2″ Circle Punch from Real Red card stock.  I looped a strand of the Silver Cording Trim and adhered it to the back of the circle punch with tape, then adhered the punch to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the second tree to the circle sentiment with SNAIL and punched two stars with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack punch from Red Foil Sheets and I adhered them to the top of the trees with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added three sequins from the Brights Sequin Assortment pack, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere them.

I stamped the tree image from the Lots of Joy stamp set in Old Olive ink on a Very Vanilla card stock panel inside the card.  I stamped the image a second time without reinking to finish it.
