Today's card uses some of the same techniques as the card done in the last post.
The background has been "Smooched" using Smooch Spritz, then Design Adhesives have been applied and foiled...
And, as with the last card, there is PLENTY of sparkle and bling!
To add a bit of dimension to the card, "joy" was added using dimensional foam dots...
Smooch Spritz and Designer Foils are both perfect products to use when you want to dress up any holiday project. Both are easy to use and produce GREAT results!
Here's all you need to know to make this card yourself...

2) Cut a 5 X 5 square of cream cardstock and spritz lightly with both colors of Smooch Spritz; set aside to dry.
NOTE: Make sure that paper is COMPLETELY dry before doing this step - the Design Adhesives will not appy or adhere properly otherwise.
3) Cut the 5 X 5 "smooched" cardstock into 4 - 2" squares. {reserve leftover}
4) Cut apart poinsettia, 3 holly leaves and 1 set of berries, 1 set of ornaments and bird from Design Adhesive sheets. Apply each set of designs to one of the 2" squares.
5) Apply red foil to poinsettia, berries, round ornament and bird. Apply green foil to leave and pointed ornament.
6) Use black pen to add sides, crowns and hooks to ornaments and legs and feet to bird.
7) Ink edges of all 4 - 2" squares using Golf Course Dye Ink applied with Stylus and blender tip.
8) Adhere squares to matted cardstock at top of card.
9) Cut apart and apply "christmas" beneath and aligned with the left side of the matted square. Apply green foil.
10) Cut apart and apply "joy" on the leftover piece of "smooched" cardstock. Apply red foil. Then trim around word, and ink edges using Golf Course Dye Ink applied with Stylus and Tip. Adhere at an angle at the end and slightly below "christmas".
