Special Christmas Cards 2022 – Project 1

The first of the three projects from my Special Christmas Cards class is this pretty wreath.

These cards are those you make for the special people in your life. They have extra layers, take longer to create, and are those that you tend to give in person.

Along with the cards, which are a non-standard square, the attendees all made envelopes from DSP too.

This wreath uses the two punches, the Bough Punch and Decorative Circle.

Various shades of green in Shaded Spruce, Garden Green and Old Olive provide the greenery, along with Gold.

Using a Blending Brush and a Garden Green Stampin’ Pad, the leaves were given a little extra ink on the edges.

Each leaf shape was then stuck onto one of three layers, made from the Decorative Circle Punch shpaes. These were then stuck together using Dimensionals to create extra depth.

My sentiment from the Spruced Up Stamp Set is then stamped in Real Red onto another Decorative Circle shape and stuck to the front of the wreath.

A gold bow, made from the Gold Shimmer Ribbon is then stuck to the wreath using Glue Dots.

Finally, some Red Rhinestone Berry are added, along with some Iridescent Rhinestones accents.

Don’t forget that the July-December Mini Catalogue is only around for a short while longer. Make sure you grab any items from the Last Chance list while you can.
