Penny Black Nature’s Gifts Joyful Wreath Card…

How’s it going out there in cardmaker land? I keep seeing the piles of Christmas stuff I want to use and trying not to panic! I’ve been playing with this stamp set off and on, trying the pine branch in the set with my homemade wreath builder template.

I was SO excited when I landed on the placement that resulted in this! I took a picture to show you how I placed it. This is the stamp I used from a Penny Black stamp set, I’ll link it up at the bottom of my post. Isn’t that crazy! Love it! (I think I might make the wreath a smidge larger next try)

I used Lawn Fawn’s Noble Fir ink pad to ink it up each turn. So simple!

Then I die cut the holly in white cardstock and colored it with Copics and the centers with sparkle red Nuvo drops.

I die cut the word JOYful from gold glitter card-stock and glued it flat to the card.

The white panel I stamped the wreath on is 4 ¼ inch square. I matted it with a dark green cardstock and then onto a 4 ¾ inch red glitter cardstock square. It will fit into an A7 envelope for sure, so no extra postage. The holly is glued in the center so the leaves still are up a little but they lay completely flat.

Now to try to incorporate the pine cone from the stamp set on to a wreath! 😀

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

Oh I do love the wreath!!! They always catch my eye!

Your wreath is beautiful with the touch of holly I want to hang it on my door.

Spectacular in a warm and woodsy kinda way which I love so much! Love the sentiment die, too, and all the glitter CS. You play so good!

That is such a beautiful wreath! The stamping to build the wreath is great and the diecut accents just bring it to life. The pop of glittery red in the frame is just magic. Thanks for joining us at As You See It this week.

Worth the effort of placing I think! Great card and thanks for joining in our Glitter and Sparkle challenge at Stamping Sensations.

well aren’t you clever, pam! at first glance i thought the wreath was die cut; you did a great job placing it to stamp it! and of course i love the glitter card stock. thank you so much for playing along with us at the penny black and more challenge!
