Holiday Cards | Joyful Collection | Laura Alberts
Hey y’all! Laura back again with three holiday card from the stunning new Cocoa Vanilla Studio Joyful collection! I really adore the sweet icons and beautiful patterns in this one. It was so much fun to experiment with a variety of papers, fussy cutting everything, and adding the sparkly finishing touches! For the first card, I layered fussy cut florals in the background with a tree from the ephemera pack and a chipboard piece that says “Falalalala” for my central focal point. The title is simply “Jolly” wrapped over the top from the ephemera pack. Those tiny details really are what makes this one pop! With one of the gold fabric stars for the top of the tree and gold Nuvo Drops dotted in the center of the florals and around the backyard, this card really shines!
On the second card, I layered two patterned papers from the A5 paper stack as a base for my large title. The “Christmas Joy” is from the chipboard stickers and is a stunning gold foil! I layered a large fussy cut swag behind the “Joy” and then added dimension with a second layer of fussy cut florals on top of it. My favorite part of this particular card are the little floral bits that look like they are flitting around the outside of both the swag and the title. With more Nuvo Drops for a sparkly detail, this card came together rather quickly after all of that fussy cutting!
For the third card, I decided to create a scene with these adorable animal icons! A little white card stock for snow along the bottom was a quick and easy base for this sweet deer and squirrel. I created the appearance of depth to this one by layering the tree and sign behind the deer, which gives the allusion they are further back. I added chipboard stars across the top of the card with Nuvo Drop trails leading down to them, so that they appear to be hanging from the sky! The “Jingle All the Way” sentiment is from the chipboard stickers and just like before, gold Nuvo Drops were the final details this one needed!
I hope you enjoyed my take on holiday cards using the gorgeous new Joyful collection! They were so much fun to make and I can’t wait to share them with family and friends! Don’t be afraid to use some of the dimensional embellishments on your cards! Once I removed several layers of chipboard behind the titles, they laid quite flat!
