52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
This card has lots of die cuts, with minimal stamping (only the sentiment). I'm really happy with the way it has turned out.
I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the textural background. I used Stampin' Up "Swirly Scribbles" die for the wreath (I cut two). I then used Stampin' Up "Pretty Pines die" to cut the foliage and the red bow (I cut two sizes of this for dimension). I glued everything into place adding some self adhesive pearls to represent the berries for the mistletoe.
I then die cut the word "Merry" using Stampin' Up "Christmas Greeting thinlits". To finish I stamped the word "Christmas" using Papertrey Ink "Wreath For All Seasons" Christmas sentiment.
Continuing my theme of Christmas wreath cards, I also made this one., which I really like.
The stamped wreath and berries is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set called "Wreath For All Seasons" I then die cut into intp a circle shape. I did the same with a fancy edged circle in green cardstock and mounted the two together.
I then stamped the Christmas sentiment to the bottom of the card and die cut the "Merry" sentiment using a Stampin' Up set called "Christmas Greetings Thinlits".
It's the first of October, so definitely time to get down to some serious Christmas crafting.
Initially, I stamped the "Merry Christmas" sentiment to the middle of a blank card. I think the sentiment came free with a magazine.
I die cut the wreath shape using Memorybox "Tupelo Circle, style 98500). In a darker shade of green I used a Stampin' Up die from the "Botanical Framelits" set for the two extra pieces of foliage. I then die cut a star on thin cardboard from a serial box (I used this so that it doesn't buckle), coating it with a layer of gold stickles. I left the piece to set for a couple of hours then positioned it onto the card along with the little red bling gems.
