Happy Thursday everyone! Today is the last Thursday before Christmas so a Merry Christmas to all of the wonderful people who join us every week for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.
This is also the start of a little different week for me…a week of JOY. Back in November I was working on presents for some colleagues and my hostess appreciation event and some other things and just had a ball using the Gift Bow Angel and using it with the word Joy so I thought this week would be a great ‘week of Joy’ as we lead up to Christmas! So this is my first one. This is an insert for an 8 x 8 frame. I did shoot it without the glass so I could get a good picture of it.
Here’s the details…
Cherry Cobbler 8 x 8 for base
Whisper White Core-dinations (wanted some texture) 5 1/2 x 5 1/2
Silver Glimmer 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 (did cut out the middle as it would have been a lot of wasted glimmer!), layer Whisper White piece on it.
Add two pieces of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon then add panel to card front using dimensionals
Okay…you can find a million tutorials on how to make the Gift Bow Angel so I won’t go into that but I used Cherry Cobbler (bottom of dress through the Delicate Designs embossing folder), Blushing Bride (arms and face), Silver Glimmer (halo), Whisper White (collar).
Add angel using DOUBLE layer of dimensionals
Stamp JOY banner in Versamark, silver emboss, cut out, layer and add to angel using TRIPLE layer of dimensionals.
Add little Silver 1/8″ bows to ends of banner and add rhinestones to collar to finish it off.
I really wanted to keep this simple but for it to still be very striking. I do just LOVE the way this turned out! Please come back this week to see my other JOY Angels!

Did you do a Christmas card with the bow die…made into an angel but said JOY….used the frosted finishes embellishments. I wanted to make them for Christmas this year and do you think I can find that card.

WOW!! This is such a fabulous idea! Love the way the angel is holding the “joy” banners! Such a clever way to use these colors!
Is your frame an 8×8? If so, where did you purchase? I know my ladies would love to make something like this.
I LOVE these gift bow angels and what a great way to use/gift one!! The joy banner is just perfect!
