Joy and Cheer Card with Serene Bird and Gentle Pine Needle Sprigs by Anne Thompson

Today's card is one that can easily be made in multiples and varied by changing the papers used.

Start with a white notecard.
Cut a large circle from STITCHED CIRCLE LAYERS 30036 using KRAFT WOODGRAIN PAPER SH44003 and add it to the front of the notecard.
Cut three of the GENTLE PINE NEEDLE SPRIG 94597 from one of the green plaid papers in the WOODSY PLAID PP1018 6X6 paper pad.
From another green plaid cut the background for JOY AND CHEER 94590.
Use white cardstock to cut the detailed lettering for JOY AND CHEER.
Apply the detailed lettering to the background using a glue pen. Secure the pine needle sprigs to the back of that piece using Scor-Tape under "JOY". Add all of this to the circle.
Cut the SERENE BIRD 94620 from red glitter paper in the FESTIVE GLITTER PAD GP1006. Apply the wing to the bird with Glue Dots.
Add the bird to the card using foam dimensional dots and tuck part of it behind "JOY".
For the bird's eye use one of the small black gems from CHRISTMAS FAIRY JEWELS JWL005 and add three of the red ones to the circle.

That's it! To use an assembly line process, cut multiples of everything--circles, the two parts of the Joy and Cheer sentiment, pine needle sprigs, and birds--and have a stack of blank notecards and the sheet of jewels nearby. The fun will be in arranging what you choose for each card from your stack of materials.
