Cottage Wreaths Merry Christmas

Colorful splash of inks with Creativity Abounds Blog Hop

It’s time for our 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.

Here is a peak at our design team. Join us for one of our Stamp Camps and you’ll get to meet everyone!

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.
