Three In the Nest Creations: Joy to the World

Happy CAS(E) this Sketch day!! I had a ton of fun and really got out of my Christmas comfort zone with this one. I decided to go a little geometric and modern. I hope you like it!

I started this card by masking off a triangle shape and using Catherine Pooler's Grass Skirt ink to blend into a fun shape. Before removing my mask, I stamped some snowflakes from and older Concord & 9th set called Mittens and Mugs using Midnight ink. Next, I stamped the Joy from Concord & 9th's Joy stamp set using Rockin' Red ink and Midnight ink for the thin line. Next, I added some stripes of card stock to the top and bottom of my sentiment and embossed "to the world" in white. Here's a closer look:

My first card uses the amazingly gorgeous Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow and the totally cool Christmas Words Tree Die.

I had loads of fun with this card. I started by cutting the Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow from stone cardstock. I then positioned the Christmas Words Tree Die on my cover up die cut and ran that through the cutter to create a clear spot in the background for the Christmas Words Tree Die. I was afraid that leaving all the lines behind might make things too busy. Next, I added my Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow to a darker grey card base. I cut my word tree from the same stone cardstock and then again from green, red, and turquoise. I cut the individual colors from the cuts and layered them on my stone cut to create a colorful tree. Then, I added this back into the cleared spot in my background. I finished it off with a glitter star tree topper. Here's a closer look:

My next card uses the Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow and the Season's Greetings Stamps.

For this card, I used the Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow in a different way. I trimmed a portion of the background to use as a border across the birch card front. Next, I stamped and colored one of the adorable animals inside the frame from the Season's Greetings Stamps. I cut this image out and added it to my card front with foam tape. I added some cork asterisks for a fun extra touch and my card was finished. Super cute and here's another look:

My final card for you today uses the Joy to the World Stamps.

This card could not have been easier! I used a piece of water color paper and painted it with an earth like wash. Then I stamped the awesome Joy to the World Stamps in the center along with two of the flourishes. I cut this out with Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles before layering it on a black card base also cut with Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles. Again, super easy! Here's a closer look:
