All Around Wreath for Christmas

Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem!  So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.  

Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap.

She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold.  The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.  

Other details:

• The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
• The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
• She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.

• Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!

  September 4, 2025

  Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

  Save

  I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

  The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

  After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

  I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

  Save

  You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.  

  Save

  I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
