Tidings All Around Christmas Wreath Card

I have another Christmas Card to share with you today. This card uses the Tidings All Around stamp set. This set has a matching die set which also coordinates with another set in the Autumn/Winter catalogue, Seasonal Wreaths.

I’ve used Shaded Spruce as the green in this card. I sponged the wreath with Shaded Spruce to give the wreath some definition. The red rhinestones give it a nice bit of bling.

I love background stamps. I don’t think we always use them enough in cardmaking. The one used here is called Birch and gives the effect of an old wooden door.

Measurements

  • Shaded Spruce A6 Cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White 14.35cm x 10cm

I love wreaths at Christmas time. I have a few around the house. There are two fabric ones that I made out of scraps of fabric. I cut each piece of fabric into a square and then fold and stitch them to create a leaf. Each wreath has about 100 of these fabric leaves.

What handmade creations do you make for Christmas? Let me know below.

There are a video tutorial and supply list as always.

Punched Circles – Birthday Card

This is a simple and easy card made using punched circles in varying sizes. This is a great way to use up all your scrap pieces of cardstock and make something beautiful as well.

I love this card as it uses minimal supplies but gives a great wow effect. As it makes use of punched circles, it is a perfect card to make with young children.

The theme of this card is circles. You can make a huge variety of matching stationery such as invitations, envelopes and goody bags. I truly believe that we need to get kids involved when they are young in various crafts so that these skills and hobbies aren’t lost. I know I would much prefer a child playing with ink and paper than stuck in front of a tv.

Measurements

  • Real Red card stock – A6 card base (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I think this type of card would also work with different coloured punched butterflies. I am going to try it and if it works I will share it with you.

Primary colours make this card sing. Primary colours are red, blue and yellow and the contrast and complement each other perfectly. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. The colour wheel does help to match colours together.

I love to use coloured card bases with a white mat that gives a little border around the card. Do you use coloured card bases or do you prefer white? I like to frame my images on my card as I feel it just makes the whole project look more complete.
