It was just me and Angie at the Store yesterday. Renee headed down to her Parent’s with Nicholas for Christmas. I had a few orders to take to the Post Office and then some people came in to pick up a few things I had on hold. Heather went to the New York & Co. across the street so I met her there and then we stopped back at the Store to get my things. I stopped home and then went over to Geroge’s for a bit. The rest of the evening was quiet, dinner with my Parent’s and then a few movies. Today I have some projects to work on and some last minute gifts to get, I always wait until the last minute to shop! 🙂
I did make a card last night too. I like the simple elegant feel I think that it has. I used the Hero Arts Holiday Florals Bold Prints Background Stamp and heat embossed it in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder onto a piece of Basic Gray. Then I used the Concord & 9th Joy Die to cut out the letters and adhered them with 3M Foam Tape to a piece of Champagne Curious Metallic. Across the bottom of my card base, Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, I adhered a piece of Gold Washi Tape. I then adhered the panel with the Joy using E-Z Runner and Fun Foam. My pine boughs are cut from Galvanized Curious Metallic using the Concord & 9th Take a Bough Die. I snipped them in half and adhered them behind the panel with more E-Z Runner. A very simple but elegant card! I hope that you like today’s card! Thanks for my Christmas Eve visit! I wish you all a very Happy Christmas! 🙂

Love this card, Justin. All the different metallics look very elegant and great together. Love that JOY die and since it is in my stash (thanks to you), this may be one of my card designs for next year. Have a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends. Enjoy your time off.
Thank you HJ! I love that JOY die and I thought it looked cool cut out of the embossed background! I think that it would make a great Holiday card! Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas!! 🙂
Good Morning Justin – Again a gorgeous, elegant card with just the perfect amount of white space. I love the way you heat embossed the card stock and then cut out the JOY. Why don’t I ever think of doing stuff like that!!!!!!! This one is just gorgeous!
I hope you enjoy your days off and spending time with family and friends during this Christmas holiday. We will have a crazy day today trying to get packed and the hubs will have his hands full trying to fit everything into the car and still have space for us. LOL Take lots of photos of Tristan and Daniel to share with us please. Love & Hugs, XXOO 🙂

Justin,
When I looked at this card I thought “simple and elegant”. Then I read your description and I see you agree with me. lol
Well we are leaving for our holiday visits any minute now. An hour and a half to my sister’s this evening. Then home to take care of our 2 dogs. Tomorrow about the same travel distance to go to my husband’s sister’s house. Love getting together with family.
Wishing you a very merry Christmas!
Hi Gerri!
