Christmas Wreaths card for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a picture and colour challenge. I used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set to make my card.

 

Colours used in my card:

 

To recreate the Christmas Wreaths card, you will need:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Wild Wheat card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Pretty Peacock card – 2⅝” by ½”
Scrap Sweet Sorbet card

 

Using the twiggy wreath stamp from the Cottage Wreath stamp set, I stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Pecan Pie ink. I rotated the image and stamped again with Wild Wheat ink. This gave a fuller wreath with more texture.

The holly leaves were added randomly around the wreath using Pretty Peacock ink.

Holly berries were added with Cherry Cobbler ink. At this point I ran the whole panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.

A CASE'd card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop using the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and Country Wreath Dies by Stampin' Up!

CASE a card for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are CASEing a demonstrator. Caseing means copy and share or copy and selectively edit a design created by someone else. I have chosen to case a design by Su Mohr changing the dsp and the stamp set.

Here is Su’s original design.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the CASE a wreath card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Real Red card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
Sweetest Christmas dsp – 5 ½” by 2”
Basic White card – 3” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I used the zig zag die from the Basic Borders dies set to shape the top and the bottom of the strip of Sweetest Christmas dsp. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the strip to one of the Basic White panels. The Basic White layer was then glued to the Real Red panel and then to the Garden Green card base.
