Wow! This one is so unique and well done! I love the rubber band embossed joy die cut. What a fantastic effect. Stacked and offset on silver it looks amazing with your beautiful formed poinsettia. What a fabulous, original design, Loll!
I am just picking my chin up off the floor once again Loll!
This is perfection. x
So beautiful Loll, with your Joy and the gorgeous silver poinsettias on top. Hope you are having a great week.
What a beauty Loll - this is exquisite.

Stunning, elegant and ever so pretty. Love that sentiment die cut and the rubber band technique looks wonderful. Such a cute silver poinsettia and the most beautiful card x
STUNNING...simply STUNNING!! :0)
Great way to use up your silver embossed piece! It looks fabulous with the layered poinsettia overlaying the "O". Truly CAS!
Beautiful CAS Christmas card, Loll. The silver poinsettia is so pretty on the heat embossed 'joy' xx
Oooh, I am loving your silver Poinsettia with this die cut sentiment, Loll! All that beautiful offset silver is perfect with this lovely shade of blue...Really fabulous Christmas card!
Oh, so gorgeous! Lovely joy sentiment and love the beautiful silver poinsettia!
wow Loll, your sentiment is out of this world. So creative with the rubber band embossing and the addition of the poinsettia is perfect :)
Great Loll must do the rubberband technique this year.
My aim is to learn as much as possible in 2019. But bad me also just bought that joy die.
You're my worst enabler at mo, Loll!
But my darling mum was called Joy amd I just love the die on Christmas cards! She was born near Christmas day, and her dad called her Joy cos that's what she brought. He was a really loving dad.
Made 4 cards for this.. all same but not blogged yet! Soon!
Hugs Shaz in Oz.x

This is so beautiful, Loll. That silver poinsettia looks fabulous and the technique you used for the joy looks fantastic!
Wow, this card is stunning Loll! I am totally loving that Joy die and I love how you placed a poinsettia on the "O". I really need to try the rubber band technique as it is just so beautiful on this word die cut. A CAS card that is so stunning in the colors blue and silver! Now I think me needs to go shopping on AliExpress! lol Hugs, Brenda
So elegant, Loll. The silver peeking behind really adds that extra touch and the poinsettia is gorgeous.
Such an eye catching card and good use of a large die. Love the silver poinsettia in the "O"...have that die set so looking forward to using it that way...clever idea. Have been making a few Christmas cards...got caught short this year with too few cards...never again!
Love your gorgeous Christmas card!
Very pretty Loll ! Love the delicate blue with the silver veines of the die cut Joy. And the pretty silver poinsettia is the perfect final touch ! Very elegant. Love it !
This is so elegant with the silver poinsettia and splashes of silver in the greeting. I love this one, Loll.
WOW WOW WOW this is super gorgeous Loll .. that rubber band card piece is wonderful and layered gives it so much dimension and topped off beautifully with the silver poinsettia.. love it
This is so elegant, my friend! It may have been QACAS but it's gorgeous! Love the texture and dimension the rubber band technique gives to the die cut JOY and the silver poinsettia is a brilliant addition!
Gorgeous, Loll. So much incredible texture and dimension. The silver foil is striking and that poinsettia just pops. xx
Crisp, cool and so pretty, Loll ... great dimension ... love the effect of the embossed rubber band technique on the sentiment ... it looks so touchable! Hugs, Anita :)
I love the effect on the die cut word .... I thought it was marbled until I read your post. The poinsettia looks gorgeous in the silver too xx
The elastic band technique has worked so well here Loll and the sweet little silver poinsettia sits over the 'O' perfectly. x
This JOY card packs a punch. This is truly a chic beauty. Your silver poinsettia upgrades that elastic band blue word die. I love the silver ombre behind too, definitely an elegant card, hugs xx
This is gorgeous. I love the silver embossed rubber band piece you die cut the joy from. The silver embossing really stands out with the silver die cut layer behind it. That silver poinsettia is so pretty and fits the "O" perfect.
