Hi friends! I'm excited today to share a fun free class being taught by Jo Firth Young (aka Jofy) on her Facebook group, Jofy Jamboree. It's so very generous of Jo to share her time to help us with inspiration for our Christmas card making.
I only had one of Jo's Christmas stamp sets, so I had to be extra creative in order to play along. I did have a couple of Jo's mini stamps and several of her gorgeous stencils, but the majority of my collection is Jo's fabulous flower stamp sets. I wish I had
THIS set (JOFY118), but what I did to replace it was to cut a rectangle to the size I wanted my finished trees to be. I then folded it in half and cut it into a triangle and used it as a template. I simply drew circles and painted them with Fresco Chalk Acrylics by PaperArtsy to make the baubles.
For both cards, I followed Jo's instructions in making the gel printed background with her
stencil PS309. If you'd like the smaller circles Jo used, use stencil
PS329.
Besides my hand drawn trees, I used Jo's mini stamp
JM30. These darling presents can be used for birthdays too and I just love the stamp! Here I stamped a bunch of them onto my various prints and stacked them into a tree shape. I added Jo's
darling little birdie, JM20.
For the stars atop my hand drawn trees and for the star border at the top of this card, I used my one and only trusty
Jofy Christmas set, JOFY01. I'm hoping to use the remainder of the images in Jo's future FB live classes this Christmas.
So make sure to join the Jofy Jamboree Facebook group
HERE. Look under the Guides section of the group
HERE to find all of this year's classes, as well as last year's Christmas classes and other non-Christmas classes. Such a wealth of information and fun to be had!
