Christmas Wreaths


Hi crafty friends!


Today, I thought I would share two festive wreath cards because I am pretty sure if you are making cards just now, you could possibly be making seasonal ones.

It's always good to get some inspiration don't you think?

For my cards I used the Deck The Halls Stamp Set. I know there's a washi tape for this set but I thought it would be good to demonstrate how you could use the stamp set and choose your own colours.



With the coordinating stencils, I ink blended the wreaths a little differently from each other. The one on the left I used Eucalypus, Olive, Lush Forest & Mint. For the one on the right I used Turquoise, Atlantis, Meadow & Evergreen. I coloured the berries on both cards in Mulberry Blush. 


For the backgrounds I ink blended some green cardstock with Eucalyptus around the edges, which gave the panels some depth. Then, I ran them through my die cut machine with the Nested Rectangles : Diagonal Stitch Dies. I also run some white cardstock with these dies as I knew I wanted to add a white panel at the top for the big sentiments. 



Using the Fancy Edgers Dies, I chose one to edge off the white panels then added these white panels to the green panels, that I had already prepared.

Before adding the wreaths, I first stamped the sentiments. I popped the panel into my MISTI, and stamped the sentiments in Pinkfresh Studio's Detail Black Ink. All three sentiments are from the Festive Foliage Stamp Set. 


Then, I popped each wreath onto each prepared card panel using foam squares. 

The double bow for each wreath was created by die cutting four bows from the Wrap Around Elements, gluing two together for each card. The bows were cut out of the Ruby Glitter Cardstock. 

To finish, I added the extra die cuts under the bows then added some Ruby Glitter Drops for that extra bling.


So there you go, two Christmas cards to get you inspired!


As always, I have filmed these cards coming together so keep an eye out for the reel over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio and @cherylespiecreates


Until next time friends...
