Card: Christmas Beauty

 Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! Today sees card 3 of 4 based on the Arrange a Wreath bundle.  As I mentioned last week, it's never to early for our Christmas cards so let's take another look at what this bundle can do! 

And here is today's project...

I loved the background of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP on last week's card, so I have featured it again on today's lovely Christmas card.  I love the color combination of Old Olive and Real Read and it just definitely means Christmas! Again, the lovely wreath combination with the "Merry Christmas" sentiment board is a beautiful showstopper.  The wreaths are layered on top of one another; however, I did use our Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the sentiment board.  Add a few red and gold sequins for good measure :)

Check out a close-up and the inside below...

Card: A Christmas Wreath

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! It's time to share the second installment in my Arrange a Wreath bundle feature.  I figured it's never too early to start work on this year's Christmas cards and I couldn't wait to use that cute, little partridge! 

And here is today's project...

Isn't that the cutest little bird!? There is so much to love about this card and I love how it came out.  I wanted to go for a little country Christmas look so I love the checkered background as the card base.  A simple layered wreath in Crumb Cake and Old Olive pulls the card together.  I added an Old Olive ribbon and gold sequence for extra bling.  

Check out some close-ups and inside the card below...

Card: Arrange a Wreath

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! It is time to move on to my next featured stamp set and I'm so excited to share these upcoming projects.  For my next installment, I have chosen to go with the lovely Arrange a Wreath with coordinating die-cuts.  I've started with a simple wreath feature, but can't wait to showcase some great Christmas ideas...nope, it's never to early for Christmas! 

And here is today's project...

Who doesn't love a beautiful wreath to greet your guests as they enter your home?! Well, now you can put that beautiful wreath on a card! These die-cuts were so delicate to work with and the result is simple perfection.  Start with a background of Stampin' Up!'s Wood Textures DSP to give you the barn door look and then layer your colorful cardstock using the wreath die-cuts.  Using a mini glue dot, you can secure the linen twine to give the look that your wreath is hanging.  

Check out some close ups and the card details below...
