Christmas JOY Card for Printables Cuttables Creatables

    Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

 I always think of Christmas as a season of JOY!
So when I saw this fun file in the shop, I knew I had to make a card with it.

There are two options for buying this card; on it's own or part of a kit.
Here are the links:

Joy Christmas SVG Cutting File & Clipart, 

or

Christmas Treats Craft Bundle - SVG Cut Files and Digital Paper.

Here's my card:

Isn't that a cute and creative card?
I think the pieces would be fantastic all cut out and reassembled,
but I didn't have the time for that.

So here's what I did:

I actually took some screen shots of the process. 
I've not done this before but thought I would try it.
Let me know if it helps.

First, I uploaded the clipart I wanted to use. 
The file includes each individual "letter", along with the word art png.
I uploaded the complete word, and sized it at 5 1/2" wide.

Next, I added a white rectangle to my canvas.
It uploaded with rounded corners, which I really liked.
I knew that I wanted my finished card to be 5" x 7",
so I sized the white rectangle at 5 1/2" wide.

I sent the white rectangle to the back, and added the word art file on top.
I then resized the word art to 5" wide.

I then highlighted the whole piece and selected "flatten".
(Sorry, I don't have a picture of that.)
Then I selected the "print then cut" option.

I sent the image to my printer, and then added the printed piece to my mat.

Here it is all cut out!

Next, I printed out this fun diagonally striped paper.
It's part of the Christmas Treats Craft Bundle.
I made a white cardstock card base that measured 5" x 7".
I cut the striped paper to fit the front and rounded all the corners.

I inked around the card base and the printed panel, using red ink.
I then added the printed/cut piece to the card base using foam tape.
It's cute just like that but every Christmas card needs a little sparkle, right?

To finish things off I added pretty red Stickles to the wreath and the reindeer nose.
I also added Glossy Accents to the reindeer eyes.

It's such a fun and festive card
...and so much fun to put together!
I hope you give it a try!
