Merry Music - JOY

Good Morning everyone! Here we are Friday again! Hope you all have FUN plans for the weekend!  Things are gonna be pretty calm around here and I am so happy!  I have a class to teach Saturday morning and plan on going on a hike with my sister-in-law (unless it's pouring rain)...and that's all the plans I have! Today, however, I have to go down the mountain...AGAIN...for an orthodontist appointment.  I was thinking I had the entire day to myself today...but then I got the reminder call! My plans changed quickly...hahaha!

I have a fun card to share with you today! I'm sure you have been seeing all the CUTE cards made with the Large Letters Framelits. I just got them last week and here is my first creation!

The card base is Whisper White and the first layer is a 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" piece of Smokey Slate cardstock. The background is from the Merry Music Specialty paper pack. The word JOY is cut with the Large Letters framelits. I cut three (3) of each letter and used Multipurpose glue to layer them one on top of the other. Next, I used MINI dimensionals (LOVE THESE) to add them to the bottom of my card.  I tied a piece of Real Red 1/8" Ribbon around the "O" after it was mounted onto the card. I find that addding the ribbon after the letter is attached to the card base is MUCH EASIER than adding it before you attach it!

This card is SIMPLE yet I think it's really BEAUTIFUL!  You can add some bling if you like, but I just wanted to keep it simple. I bought a bunch of this designer paper so I think I'll make several more of these cards!!

Well...THANK YOU VERY MUCH for stopping by today! Have I told you lately that I LOVE sharing what I create with you!! I hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend...ENJOY every minute of it...and find just a bit of time to CREATE!!!
