So, for now at least this will be the last of the cards I am creating for my set of cards that feature the Arrange a Wreath bundle. I wanted to create cards that would show just how versatile this set is and some of the many ways it can be used. So, I have been posting a different card (for a different event) over the past several days that shows just that. Here is what the bundle looks like.
And here is what todays card looks like, I know, “Christmas Already” hey but it takes time to make all those cards, so this is a great time to get started. Plus at least here in North Carolina it has been to hot and humid to do much outside so I am going to use my time wisely and get those cards done now so that when the weather gets nice, I will have more time to enjoy it. Here it is…
The card base is Very Vanilla cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8
½” and scored at 4 ¼”. The second layer
was cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and it measures 4 x 5 ¼”. The third layer was cut from the In Good
Taste Designer Series paper and it measures 3 ¾ x 5” (I love the wood
grain).
To create my wreath using the Arrange a Wreath die, I cut
three layers of the wreath using the two different styles of dies from the
bundle. They were cut from Soft Seafoam,
Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green cardstock (check out the Garden Green layer, see
the embossed details in the leaves, yep the die cuts and embosses isn’t that
neat). I then assembled them in that
order. I cut my bow out of Gold Foil and
popped it up using a Mini Dimensional right on the bottom of my wreath. Then I cut out three of the flowers from the
die set (they looked like Poinsettia’s to me) from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and
there is even a little circle die for the centers which I cut out of Daffodil
Delight cardstock. I found the Mini Glue
Dots worked great to adhere the flowers to the wreath. Once my wreath was done, I moved onto the
sentiment. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla
cardstock to ¾ x 3 ¾” and stamped the sentiment “Merry Christmas” from the new Poinsettia
Place stamp set (there are some adorable little poinsettia dies in this bundle
as well that would look great on this card) using Cherry Cobbler ink. I cut little flags on each end and used my
Bone Folder to curve my sentiment up and down and I adhered it to the bottom of
the card with dimensionals and liquid glue.
Once that was all done, I went ahead and centered my wreath between the
top of the card and the top of the sentiment.
