Looking for a quick and easy holiday greeting? This card came together in about 7 minutes (that's with the dry embossing!)
I cut my card base to 4-1/4x8-1/2 I don't have any large square brass embossing templates, so I used some cardstock- a 3-1/4 square and a 3-5/8 square as my templates. With a light table, it is easy to center the cardstock templates (I did the bigger one first).
Next, get some silver cord, make a small bow. I found that the elastic cord worked WAY better for this than the other type of cord.
Now, I suppose you're wondering how I got my bow to stick. Take your mini glue dots. Cut off one, wax strip included. Fold the wax backing over the top of the dot, cut the dot in half (no sticking to the scissors this way!). Then do that again, so now you have 4 mini-mini glue dots. It's a good way to stretch your materials!
I cut out the joy square, freehand with scissors, and popped it up with 2 dimensionals.
Thanks for looking!
Supplies:
Stamps: Glad Tidings
Ink: Real Red
Paper: White Cardstock
Accessories, etc.: elastic silver cord, quarter of a mini-glue dot, dimensionals, light table and stylus, cardstock embossing templates.

Love how you made your own embossing templates! I've been saving up for the Nestabilities square and rectangle dies, but this would work until I can afford to get them. TFS!
