The Painted Labels Die worked perfectly for today’s Christmas wreath. First, I cut the wreath from Thick Whisper White Cardstock, and stamped “Merry Christmas,” from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, in the middle, using Mossy Meadow Ink.
Pinecone Wreath
Wanting to decorate the wreath, I found the middle-sized bough from the Beautiful Boughs Die set, and used it to cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock. The pinecones are from the same set, made with Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Cardstock.
I made the paper bow with Real Red Cardstock and a Wreath Builder Die. Then, I glued the ribbon strands to the top of the pinecones, and placed them on Dimensionals.
The pretty checked paper behind the wreath is one of the patterns of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper. It was 2″ X 4 1/4″, glued to Whisper White Cardstock that was the size of the card front, until I used the largest Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting. I added texture by running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Finally, I glued my art piece to a Thick Whisper White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Heartwarming Hugs is wonderful paper for the holidays, and it’s on sale for the month of October. You can see all of the sale Designer Paper below.
I was inspired by CAS(E) this sketch. They turned it sideways, so I followed suit.

A beautiful card. Thank you for sharing the details!
I just posted about the Pinecone Christmas Wreath and forgot to tell you that I appreciate the way you provided instructions for making your card. Many only post a picture which means we have to guess….thank you for posting easy to follow instructions.
Congratulations, Audrey! I like my followers to feel like, “I can make that.”
Su,
Love your card! I happen to have everything needed to make it…so, I will make it and post it on Pinterest showing you as inspiration. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you, Audrey! I’m so glad you like it!
What a beautiful card! You could use up a lot of designer paper for this care, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Sherlie! And, we have plenty of that!
You make such beautiful cards.
I appreciate your nice comment! Thank you, Sharon!
Su, thank you for this beautiful card and the GREAT instructions. I will be CASEing this one.
Thank you, Ceresa! I’m so glad you like the instructions!
Thank you so much for sharing. I think I have
all the parts to make this one. Great ideas.
Thank you, Mary Katherine! So glad you have the ingredients!
I’m glad to see that they both finally did get through.
Have a good week.
Yes, they did!
Su, I have tried to send you a comment on your pretty cards and it will not send. It says it detects
another comment the same.
I will try this and let you know why you haven’t heard from me, and in the meantime, just know that I love the pinecone card so much.
Thank you, Cynthia. It just takes a bit of time to load.
Another beautiful card Su. I love it. I would like to try to make one like
it, but I don’t have the pinecones. I will have to find something else to use, but it won’t be as pretty as yours.
Thank you, Cynthia! I’m so glad you like it!
Good morning Su. Another beautiful card today using stamps and dies that so many of us have. I will use your idea but use the DSP that I have and maybe make my bow from red velvet paper. I really appreciate all the creativity you share.
Good morning, Stella! You are very welcome, thank you! I like your ideas for making it your own!
I love this card! I’ll use different colours but I’m definitely following this sketch for some of my Christmas cards. Tfs!
Thank you, Dale! I’ll be making some in different colors also!
