This was fun to create! I started with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.

The first two layers were cut with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies.

Next came the wreath. I used a few different card stocks and the Country Wreaths dies to create a simple focal point.

These lovely, new products are from the Fitting Florets Collection.

Here, you see the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. The focal point is new dies, Framed Florets Dies, and the sentiment is from the Framed & Festive stamp set. This one is until supplies last. It has more of a holiday theme.

The bow is from the Country Wreath Dies.

Not sure if you noticed this was a fun fold card.

Cottage Wreath Hello

Hello Stampers!

Happy to be with you on a Sunday!

Did you create cards for World Card Making Day yesterday? Now, the following week is National Send Week! Not sure if that is made up or not, but it sounds good to me! Sometimes it’s way easier to make thee cards than to send them! 

In honor of World Card Making Day, Stampin’ Up is celebrating with FREE shipping on Tuesday!

How cool is this? FREE shipping is always good! You can shop here.

Stampin’ Up had a live presentation creating with three different stamp sets. It was soo fun! You can see all the excitement for the event here, https://events.stampinup.com/worldcardmakingday/video.

One of the bundles featured was the Cottage Wreath. My card turned out similar –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, #StampinUpwcmd2022, Cottage Wreaths Bundle, Cottage Wreaths, Country Wreath Dies, Blending Brushes, #WCMD2022

I stamped the outer ‘wreath’ with the leaves stamp from the set. I added a few lighter leaves by stamping off first. Doing this adds a little texture and dimension.

For the outer wreath and the bow, I used my Blending Brushes. That look is soo pretty.

This is a simply pretty card! What do you think?

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

These are very summer colors, but I decided to take them to a fall level –

You’re falling for this, right? This is pattern paper from the Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Here, It looks like quite a nice fall pattern, right?

The show stopper is the wreath from the Cottage Wreath bundle. Yes, another wreath bundle. This is a bit different than last years. Still so pretty!

The Festive Pearls really add the subtle style to the Parakeet Party wreath. Just as fall as can be!
