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.
