Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths photopolymer stamp set and coordinating Country Wreaths dies are a great set for making wreath cards. The weather has gotten cold and I wanted to make some Fall themed cards, so I pulled these out and combined them with the Inked And Tiled stamp set to make a Thanksgiving card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a plaid panel of Them Bones designer series paper to the front of a Cajun Craze card base with liquid glue. I wanted a floral panel to coordinate, but the Them Bones DSP only had bats and skeletons, so I decided to make one. I stamped a Pumpkin Pie panel with the flower from the Inked and Tiled stamp set in Cajun Craze ink. I stamped randomly all over the panel. I stamped the little fluff stamp in stamped off Pebbled Path ink randomly around the panel. Finally I embossed the panel with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Cajun Craze mat. I popped it on the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on the bottom of a Crumb Cake panel and cut it out with the tag die from the Merriest Trees dies. I cut a Cajun Craze panel with the wreath from the Country Wreath dies and adhered it to the tag with a glue dot. I looped a length of Pebbled Path jute through the tag hole and tied a knot and popped the tag on the card front with dimensionals.
I used my dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend to color a length of gingham ribbon and tied a bow. I adhered the bow to the top of the wreath with a glue dot – I love how it picks up on the plaid background! I finished the wreath with Pebbled Path gems.
I left the inside of the card blank, and just adhered a strip of Plaid DSP to the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
This was a fun diversion from Christmas cards. Making your own DSP is always fun, and it’s great that I’m able to match ink colors to DSP and get a look that coordinates well. And I’m glad that I was able to use the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths stamp set again, it’s one of my favorites!
