Get inspired to mix up your patterns, textures and Die designs to create layers of Christmas Joy on your handmade holiday creations.
Have you had a chance to check out the New Christmas release called “Boughs of Joy”? Today’s card is brought to you by Marla. She has layered several of our new products together to bring an elegant card design using a unique Christmas color palette. The color combination was inspired by the patterned paper found in new Boughs of Joy paper pad. We definitely feel inspired to mix up some dies and patterns and layer on the JOY for the upcoming holiday season.
