Wreath Debut

Good morning!
Look at these fun wreaths, we all like to make wreaths don't we?
Join in the fun then post your creation on the Heartfelt Creation FaceBook page for all to admire!

For a list of materials click HERE

Card size:  5 1/2 X 5 1/2"

Fold ivory cardstock to 5 3/4 X 5 3/4" then place largest Octagon die on it with cutting edge off of the fold, barely, it will still cut a full octagon if straight cutting edge is just outside of fold.

Cut another large octagon from gold color cardstock and cover front matching edges.  Cut one from Rust cardstock with the next size down octagon also to make an octagon frame for front of card, cut and glue to card front.  Cut a large octagon from light gold color decorative paper for the inside of card then glue in place.  Cut a smaller octagon frame (4 1/2") from light gold color cardstock then pop it up placing octagon with point down, this frame will be perfect for the fall wreath.

Cut the Seasonal Wreath outline die from rust cardstock then pop it up in the center of light gold octagon frame.  Stamp all the fall décor or the pieces you want on the wreath (some will need to be stamped 3 or 4 times and stamp the smallest Rustic Sunflowers using Tuxedo Black, die cut then color all with Copic Markers.

Glaze the grapes and some of the leaves with 3D Lacquer.  Glitter the flowers and pumpkins.  Glue wreath pieces down on wreath base and pop some of the pieces up.  Pop pumpkins at the bottom with owl trio on top of them.  Add Redland Elements to the sunflowers.

Die cut the bow using Seasonal Wreath Die set from dark purple and from purple.  Use the dark purple for the outline part of bow.  Glue it to the top of wreath. 

Cut out one of the sentiments and mat it with medium gold color cardstock, fishtail the ends and curve it around a fat pen (I use a Copic Marker).  Glue it to the center of wreath.  Glitter the card.


My next card is spring related with a twist, looks like someone has had a new addition to their family!

Card size:  5 1/2 X 5 1/2"

Use the outer die of the Simply Elegant Centerpiece to cut a folded 5 3/4 X 5 3/4" white heavy weight card leaving top part of the die off the edge of fold about 1/4".  Use the outer die again to cut green plaid decorative paper and another white cardstock piece then glue to top of card matching edges.  Cut the large inside decorative part of octagon from light green decorative paper then pop it up onto card front.

Stamp all the pieces (at least 2 times) of the summer wreath and the (congrats on decorative paper) using Tuxedo Black on white cardstock, die cut all, color with Copic Markers.  Cut Seasonal Wreath outline from green, pop up on center of card.

Arrange leaves and flowers around wreath, leaving room at the bottom for the birds and nest.  Glue and pop up some of the pieces around wreath, pop up nest and birds then add tag and ribbon under nest.  Add the little hearts to the center of wreath.   Glitter the wreath and card, add some lacquer to some leaves.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you got some inspiration!
Go get crafty!
