Spread the Joy!

So the fabulous Stampin' Up! stamp set "Spread the Joy" caught my attention this week! Using the DSP Fresh Prints, we had a natural color combination of Costal Cabana, Real Red, Baked Brown Sugar and Basic Black to stamp the oval.... Apothecary Accents and the Scalloped Punch for cutouts.  Background done with  "Off the Grid" and "Gorgeous Grunge" Fun, huh?

The scalloped punch out was stamped from the "Blue Ribbon" set.
And I punched out 1" squares, cut them diagonally and set the corners with candy dots or pearls! Used Bakers Twine and foam dimensional adhesive with the Core'dinations cardstock. 

Well, there you go! Make some this week!
