SQSC17 The Sounding Joy

Hello, Friends!

I hope you're all doing well!  With Christmas right around the corner, I chose "The Sounding Joy" stamp set for our Stampin' Queens sketch challenge this week.  I tried stamping "Let Earth Receive Her King" right over the Always Artichoke star, but it was hard to read the words.  So, I stamped it on vellum, cut the words in the shape of a circle and put it on with a brad.  I like the effect and need to remember it for the future! 

Happy Stamping!

I used the following Stampin' Up supplies to make this card:

"It's All About Blue" Hop with The Sounding Joy

Hello, Friends!

Welcome to our SU December blog hop, "It's All About Blue!"  It's a short one, but a good one!  You can start the hop at our home page here.  If you're following the hop, you just came from Robin's Craft Room.  I got to meet Robin Messenheimer in person this summer and she was my virtual roommate on VC Rocks.  She's wonderful so be sure you get to see her project. 

I used the Christmas set, "The Sounding Joy" for my blue project.  I love that it looks like a present and the best present ever was baby Jesus coming here!  I hope you enjoy it. 

Happy Stamping!

I used the following Stampin' Up products to make this card:
