Candle Wreath

Posted on November 16, 2015 11:34 PM by Julie 2 Comments

The Technique Challenge (TLC560) today is to use dies to make a wreath. I used a pair of circle dies to make the basic shape of my wreath, then added all the other die cuts to it.

In fact, my entire card is made up of die cuts. The wreath ring was die cut out of kraft c/s & to add a little shine, I sponged it w/ Brilliance galaxy gold. I treated the little leafy vine & pine cones the same way. The little red flowers, red die cut bow, holly & greeting were coated w/ Wink of Stella & they really sparkle! The large candles were left open to let the paper show through & the greeting was attached under the wreath.

Here’s a look a the inside.

For my first card, I made a Christmas wreath on a pink woodgrain door. The wreath was made by using circle dies to make a ring then I die cut all the foliage from the Lovely Leaves dies, the little pinecones from the Fancy Foliage dies, and the little flowers from the Christmas Candles dies and attached them all to the ring. A white bow was die cut using the Small Bow die, added on top of the wreath & a large pearl brad (I colored it w/ a pink Copic) was attached in the center of the bow.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Stamps: ODBD –Wood Background, Jingle Bells, (Let it Snow –inside greeting)

On my second card, I used white heat embossing on tan (lt kraft) card stock. After embossing the beautiful Flourished Merry Christmas, I die cut it w/ one of the matting basics, used a large corner rounder punch on it then used the white ink around the edges & embossed it, as well.
The Snowflake Border was also white embossed then die cut. I added some white embossed snowflakes to accent the Medium Bow & upper corner. The larger one was die cut & the smaller two were fussy cut. A paper crimper was used on the white horizontal band.

Autumn Wreath

Posted on September 15, 2015 10:45 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Color Challenge (CC548) is some pretty fall colors…just perfect for my Autumn Wreath! And the dessert is trees or leaves, so got it covered!

After stamping the wreath & coloring it, I die cut the large white panel then used a curved border die across the bottom. I used the same rectangular die to cut the bottom a little more in order to separate the two white panels & let some of the glitter c/s show thru. The Autumn & acorns dies were also cut out of the glitter c/s as well as one fussy cut maple leaf. The other two maple leaves & the sunflower were colored & fussy cut, as well.

Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.
