Hi everyone it's time for CAS Christmas card challenge, Linda is our host this month and she want's us to think Joy when we make our cards.
Pleas join our Guest Designer is Clair of Strings and Bows and the rest of the Design team in creating some joyous cards.
For my card I used a "Joy" die which the O is a snow flake in the die, I substituted the the O for this cute little Santa balloon from Clearly Besotted, he's pretty rounded and fit perfectly.
I used a beautiful pearlized red embossing powder from on the J and the Y and to make Santa shine I used a clear embossing powder.
I kept the card CAS with only the leters.
I hope you like the card and it inspires you to join in the Challenge.

Oh this really made me smile! Clever idea to replace the 'o' with Santa and the embossing adds so much polish!!!
Great to substitute the sweet and fun Santa for the original snowflake Christine, and love the great shine you have given him and also love the pretty colour of the letters. A super card. x
Your little Santa is so cute and I love how you made him shine with your clear EP! Gorgeous pearlized effect on the alphas, too...such a sweet card, Christine! xx
Adorable! This is so fun with the balloon Santa as the "O". Great design, my friend! xx
What a perfect round balloon Santa to stand in for the letter "O"! The shine and pearlized effects are great.
This is so cute. Santa is perfect for the center and he does bring joy. That red pearl embossing powder brings me joy, it is gorgeous.
Fabulous JOY! I love that bubble Santa all shiny and round! Perfect card and sentiment!
This is just so darned cute and the embossing powder adds some pizzazz to it. Love the creativity using the Santa balloon instead of the snowflake. Just a fun card, Christine.
Wow..thank you Christine for sharing the close up of all the beautiful shine. Such a Merry Christmas card. TFS Hugs..Nancy
Oh, wow, this is super cute, Christine! The pearlized EP is really pretty, and I thought at first the Santa was a resin sticker. Your photo really shows the gloss. What fun!
This roly poly Santa makes a perfect o in your joy, Christine! Wonderful shine!
What a cute little santa balloon Christine but how on earth do you get your embossing so fabulously smooth?! x
So cute. The pearlized red embossing is gorgeous. Great idea to clear emboss Santa to make him shine too.
Christine, this is so adorable with your sweet little, round Santa that fits perfectly between the J and Y.
I am so loving this round Santa....He is so jolly and what a Joyful card you've made x.
That Santa balloon for the O is just too darn cute, Christine!! Love your coloring and all the gloss too!!
Love your jolly round Santa right in the center of all the JOY!
The little Santa balloon is sooo cute, Christine! What a great idea to replace "O" or "a snowflake" with him! The pearly embossed J and Y look amazing!
