Cottage Wreaths Merry Christmas

Colorful splash of inks with Creativity Abounds Blog Hop

It’s time for Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world- all with different styles- who hope to inspire you to create beautiful cards and send them to friends and family.

This month our theme is Anything Christmas. That is such a fun theme I had a hard time deciding which set to use but chose the Cottage Wreaths stamp set eventually.

I love the pinecone sheet of patterned paper from the Painted Christmas pack. I paired it with Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent and a smidge of Soft Suede. I have to say the best part is that bow! I love that bow!

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut your Soft Succulent card base 8 1/2″ x 51/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
Run a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White through your Cut & Emboss machine with the evergreen Wintry 3D embossing folder. Make sure you completely emboss the right hand side of the mat. (The unembossed section on the left will be covered by the patterned paper.)
Cut your pinecone patterned paper 2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to the left side of the mat. Adhere both pieces to the front of the card base.
Stamp the twig part of the wreath in Early Espresso ink on a 3″ x 4″ piece of Basic White card stock.
Stamp the leafy wreath over that with Soft Succulent.
Randomly stamp the berries using Cherry Cobbler ink.
Stamp Merry Christmas with Cherry Cobbler ink centered below the wreath.
Die cut the bow from a Cherry Cobbler scrap.
Adhere to the wreath.
Adhere the stamped piece to 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Soft Suede card stock.
Adhere these to a 3 3/8″ x 4 3/8″ piece of Soft Succulent card stock.
Stamp a large sprig on the lower left hand corner of the 5 1/4″ x 4″ Basic White mat.

It’s time for another amazing Stamp Camp from the Creativity Abounds Design Team. We are a group of 13 demonstrators from around the world who love to create, inspire and demonstrate card making for you! We do a blog hop and tutorial bundle each month and hold a stamp camp each quarter.

The Boughs of Holly Stamp Camp will be our next event on October 28-29, 2022. All you need to do to join our Boughs of Holly Stamp Camp is purchase your Boughs of Holly Suite from a member of our design team. (IF you already own the suite, substitute $79.50 of products from the online store and email me to let me know you’d like to participate. ) THE STAMP CAMP IS FREE!

You will want to be part of this amazing Stamp Camp so you can receive a Card Kit to make 13 beautiful cards or 3D items. These kits will have everything that is not included in the Suite cut and prepped for you. You will use your DSP, ribbon, embellishments and dies. We will provide the card stock needed. Written and video instructions will be provided for each of the 13 projects.

In addition to the card kit, each member of the design team will present a different project LIVE in an exclusive FaceBook group. These lives will be throughout the day and night because of the different time zones, but all will be recorded and available to watch on replay for eternity! We will also host challenges and Crafternoon Tea as part of our weekend as well.

The Boughs of Holly Suite includes a package of designer series paper, a stamp set and coordinating dies, ribbon and textured elements. You can see them all below.
