 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Trying out new dies I purchased "recently" (meaning I bought a while ago, but never used it...lol!)...

I layered the embroidery hoop twice, and "Joy" three times for more dimension. "Joy" was actually "enjoy" and I just trimmed "en" off. I also used a stitched frame die and glued all the pieces on the panel. The poinsettia was from my die cut box - an embellishment I made a while ago using CTMH Comfort & Joy - Scrapbooking Stamp Set + Thin Cuts. Others are Sizzix.

Challenges:

1. Double D Christmas Joy

2. The Flower Challenge #63: Christmas

3. Cut It Up #240: Holiday Cards
