Today I am sharing the cards made for the March 2025 Christmas Stampathon where we have a colour challenge to inspire us. I have used the Encircled in Nature stamp set, which is currently on our last chance list, to make my cards.
Colours used in these cards are:
To recreate the encircled cards, you will need:
Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” x 4
Night of Navy card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 4
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” x 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”- for the inside x 4
Scrap Basic White card
Using Night of Navy ink, I stamped the wreath from the Encircled in Nature stamp set onto the 5¼” by 3½” panels of Basic White card. The leafy sprigs were stamped at the bottom of the wreath using the same ink.

Fresh Freesia was added to the centre of each wreath using a Blending Brush. The decorated panel was then glued to the Night of Navy panels and then to the Fresh Freesia card fronts.

The pair of flowers were stamped on scrap Basic White card with Versamark ink. I covered the images with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

The flowers and leaves were coloured using Fresh Freesia and Night of Navy Blends Pens. They were then die cut using the Encircled in Nature Dies and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Humble House stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink inside the wreath. I also added a trio of dotty images from the Thankful Garden stamp set around the die cut pieces in Night of Navy ink.
