Christmas in July is always so fun! I have two more cards with the Memory Box Chatfords Wreath to share today. I love how these turned out! I threw in some teal card-stock to throw me off the traditional Christmas colors path! But wait…keep scrolling…I hopped back on with the second card! Another card with this wreath HERE.
I die cut the wreath two times from two different green card-stocks, kept all the pieces and just interchanged them between the two cards.
I die cut the alphabets with score tape on the wrong side of the card-stock so they’d be stickers. It works so slick! Easy to line up when you use the smallest size banner too! JOY is cut from metallic gold card-stock.
The white just makes it pop! Some pearls and Liquid pearls and it’s time to celebrate! or bust out singing a carol or two! : )
I’ll link up the dies and everything I used in inlinkz below.
I’m also linking to some challenges…

I used the sketch from the Get Sketchy Challenge at WPlus9 – HERE
and
the challenge over at CAS-ology is Line – HERE
and
the challenge at Addicted To Stamps is CAS – HERE
I cut a quarter panel with the WPlus9 banner long die… it was the perfect amount of space I wanted for the ‘gap’ and an easy way to get a perfect gap! I lined each side with Washi Tape. Stamped the Blanket Stitch flowers with chalk inks, the sentiments with Versafine black and all with the MISTI.
Thanks for visiting today! Happy, creative weekend to you!
Supplies I used on my cards…
Very pretty!! You have so much patience-I would have glue everywhere!!!
Love the Christmas cards – especially the kraft, white, red and green – very traditional. Loved your tip about using scoretape to cut the letters out – am certainly going to try that. Great birthday card too. I like Wplus9 products. Have a great weekend. Going to the baby “sprinkle” tomorrow.
Lovely cards, Pam! I like the tip about score tape on the letters.
Love the die cut design and that red and blue combination is my favorite!!!!

I am all in for the card with the teal. I really like non traditional colors for Christmas cards !!! The birthday card is so simple and I really like how you used the washi tape. I would have never guessed that it was washi tape from the picture. Great cards.
WOW. Sometimes I am speechless and all I can say is WOW. This is one of those times. WOW. Hugs, Darnell
Stunning cards once again, the combo of the dies and colors is so lovely, such talent you have and that stitched flower card is just the sweetest!
Absolutely stunning, love them, well done Pam.
Take care Jane
Your wreath cards are absolutely divine!!! The last card is cuteness in measures of oodles! Simply said: WOW!!!
