Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet


    I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

    The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

    I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

    The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

    I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.
