Wouldn’t you love to have a wreath like this to adorn your front door this Fall? I know I would! Let’s make the card:

Materials and Measurements

Whisper White Thick Cardstock – 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″,  3-3/4″ square for the wreath,  2-1/2″x 1-1/2″ for the label

Mango Melody Cardstock – 5-1/4″x 4″, embossed with any embossing folder, such as Scripty 3D Embossing Folder

Directions

Stamp the wreath image from Seasonal Wreaths with Early Espresso ink. Cut with the coordinating All-Around Wreath Die.

Color with Blends Markers (or other markers, colored pencils, etc.) I used Old Olive, Mango Melody, Soft Suede, and Cajun Craze. Adhere it to your card front using Mini Dimensionals.

Stamp greeting on Whisper White with Versamark Ink and sprinkle with Copper Embossing Powder then heat set. Cut with any label punch or die. I used one from Beautiful Boughs Dies.

Decorate wreath as desired. I used a pine cone and branch from Beautiful Boughs Dies, Copper Foil, Early Espresso cardstock, and Old Olive cardstock.

Add a bow. I used 1/4″ Copper Trim.

Last, add some Cajun Craze Holiday Rhinestones around the wreath.

There are so many possibilities and variations you can do with this wreath! I hope you will try one, and decorate it with any stamps/dies you already have, if you don’t own the ones I used. Of course, if you would like to purchase the products that I used, I would be delighted to have you order them from me!

If you order the Seasonal Wreaths and All-Around Wreath Die, you will receive my three free tutorials for this month. Each one is very different from the others, but each one features elements from Seasonal Wreaths, Tidings All Around, and All-Around Wreath Dies. Think Halloween, Christmas, and All-Occasion besides Autumn.

    Beautiful card! I would like the real wreath on the front of my house as well as inside so I could look at it all the time. I love the copper trim on the card just makes it sparkle. That bundle and the corresponding set are moving up on my list.
