Today I have a cute, but casual Christmas card made using the Art Philosophy cartridge. Also, on this card I made my own patterned paper using a stamp set and some grid lined cardstock. I love doing this, but always found it daunting because I am not always so great at lining stuff up. I found this really great grid lined cardstock here. I can now line up my background stamping perfectly!

Your Joy card is fabulous! I haven't seen gridline card stock - maybe I just didn't look in the right place?
Great card Melanie! I'm not that good at lining up the stamps either, so love the idea of grid paper/card stock. The design is gorgeous and the tree really pops.
