Christmas Wreath...on a Fence!

I’m back after what seemed like a long stretch on traveling! It was all wonderful, but I missed my stamping and blogging, so I’m very glad to be able to bring you my latest wreath project.

I found the original layout to this card on Pinterest, created last year by Tina Rappe. She has some really creative and fun cards. I love this one! I took the idea and gave it a 2015 update.

I made the fence by running a piece of Crumb Cake through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Then I cut it into 1/2″ strips and glued the bottom halves on top of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Home for Christmas DSP. I left the tops unglued to hang my wreath.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Wondrous Wreath using Real Red onto a strip of Whisper White, then I tore the top edge to resemble snow. I glued the whole piece to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card of Real Red.

I used Mint Macaron and Garden Green for the wreath with Real Red for the berries. I attached a bow using our new red and white striped ribbon.

I slipped it over one post of the fence and secured it with Glue Dots.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from Versatile Christmas and randomly stamped some snowflakes using Mint Macaron.

I almost forgot to tell you about the envelope! I made it using Red Envelope Paper and the Envelope Punch Board. I didn’t need a special sized envelope, but I love how the red paper looks with the card.

I hope you like my updated version of Wreath on a Fence. I’m a bit obsessed with this Wondrous Wreath stamp set. Check out my Halloween Door card HERE.
