Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Sue is our hostess this week and she's looking for JOY on your cards. I used a die cut from my sweet friend Marcia as a jumping off point. Take a look...
Marcia was kind enough to send me a few PTI JOY dies cuts in various colors last year. I thought it was a good fit for the Poppystamps Arched Gothic Cathedral Window... sadly retired, but ever so pretty! I tucked a cranberry version of the word into the corner of the window then proceeded to decorate with MFT images. Vellum was added to the window for softness and everything was popped onto an embossed (SSS) panel.
What does the word JOY say to you? We look forward to finding out when you add your card to our gallery!

Oh Lisa, this is absolutely GORGEOUS! That JOY die cut fits so perfectly in the corner of the die cut window, and I'm loving how you added all the "greenery" around the window too! CAS and yet so full of imagery on this lovely, lovely card!! Hugs. :0)
Oh what a lovely design, Lisa!
Love the font of the joy die! Such a beautiful card
Before I even read your description, I saw catahedral/churcn window and smiled! So pretty especially with that pretty JOY and the festive sprigs! Fab card Lisa!
Absolutely beautiful, Lisa! So clean and lovely. The joy is a perfect fit in the window, and the botanical bits are just right.
Beautiful window with greenery, Lisa, and I love the Joy in the corner!!
Lisa, your Arched Gothic Cathedral Window pairs beautifully with your pretty Joy and snippets of festive foliage. Gorgeous!

Marcia brings joy wherever she goes, doesn't she? While I love this beautiful JOY, you stole my heart with that Arched Window, Lisa! SOOOO gorgeous!

My joy is this beautiful card, Lisa! Seriously gorgeous and uplifting! Hugs, Darnell
Oh this is SO wonderful! Love the cathedral window and the sentiment is sweet, the flowers a beautiful accent -- love it, Lisa
This is beautiful! I love the embossed background and that big gold window frame which you have decorated beautifully. Awesome JOY card!
I love how you put this all together! The Joy tucked into the corner and swirling around the images is just lovely!
Lisa... just lovely. The PTI Joy is a fun twist... and I agree the PPY arch will be missed. I need to pull mine out and give it some love. When I saw it again, I thought it could be fun with the stained glass vellum from Stampin Up. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, what a beautiful take on the inspiration word, Lisa!
The joy is the perfect size for your beautiful window, Lisa. The little swags add so much to your design.
This is fantastic, Lisa. I love that window. I have a similar one that I have yet to use, but I love the detail in this one. That Joy die cut looks as if it was made to go with that window. I love the embossing in the background and the red, green and gold die cuts dressing the window up. Wonderful card of joy!
Beautiful card Lisa. Aren't crafting friends so generous??!! LOVE JOY die-cut that looks fantastic in your Christmas-dressed window. xx
Lisa, this card is so beautifully elegant! Love the gold arched window and that beautifully embossed background!
Love this window and the beautiful JOY fits in the corner perfectly! A beautiful Christmas card, Lisa!
Beautiful mix of die cuts, your window and all the foliage are a perfect frame for the "JOY" ♥
Absolutely gorgeous card, Lisa! Another favorite--love all the diecuts, embossing and colors!
Beautiful card Lisa. That joy looks perfect in the corner of the pretty cathedral window. Love how you added the pretty foliage in the corners.
