Gratitude Boxed Note cards

These are some thank you notes especially designed with Fall and Thanksgiving in mind.  There are 4 note cards and envelopes contained in a designer box.

Using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set, I stamped first with Daffodil Delight, and then Pumpkin Pie.  Lastly I stamped with Cherry Cobbler.
The wreaths were die cut using the Wondrous Wreath framelit dies and then adhered to the front of the note card. After the card was finished, cherry cobbler dazzling detail was applied to each of the berries.

The white note card is lined with Pumpkin Pie, and then Fancy Frost Specialty DSP which was sponged lightly with So Saffron ink.  A piece of 1/2" Pumpkin Pie ribbon (retired) was adhered to the lower half of the card. The same ribbon was used to make the bow on the wreath.

Pumpkin Pie cardstock was used to die cut the word "gratitude"

The box was made usng the envelope maker and Kraft cardstock.  Another wreath was made and a circular hole was die cut in the top of the box covered with a window sheet.  The wreath was adhered around the window.

To keep the box closed, a 1" Kraft card stock belly band was placed loosely around the box. and the pumpkin pie ribbon tied around it.

Wondrous Wreath - a Fun Fold - Pal Paper Arts #275

I received a Christmas card that had a fold on it that I had never seen before, and I thought I would recreate it using the color challenge with Pal Paper Arts
The colour challenge:  Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, And Tangelo Twist

After thinking about it for a while, I chose to use the stamp set "Wondrous Wreath"

• The finished card size is 4 1/2 by 4 3/4", with a 1/2" flap on the left side that folds over a piece of DSP.
• Here are the measurements:

Blackberry Bliss 5 1.2 b 4 1/2 scored 3/4" at one end
Hello Honey 5 1/2 by 4 1/4" Scored at 4 3/4"
Whisper White: 4 1/4 by 3 5/8" (for sentiment)
Blackberry Bliss 3 7/8 by 3 5/8"
Blackberry Bliss DSP 5/8 by 3 5/8"
Whisper White 3 1/2 by 3 1/2" for wreath and bow
Dazzling diamond glimmer paper 4 by 2" - coloured with a Tangelo Twist marker
Jute ribbon 5"

• The wreath was made first.  It was stamped first with Hello Honey, then with Tangelo Twist, and the berries with Blackberry Twist.  The wondrous wreath framelit was used to die cut the wreath.  The bow was die cut in Whisper White, and later coloured with a Tangelo Twist marker.
• The Jute ribbon was attached to the 35/8 by 3 7/8" Blackberry Bliss piece
• The strip of DSP was then adhered to the left side of the Hello Honey piece, and the Blackberry piece was adhered to the top of the Hello Honey.

• The wreath was adhered to the front of the card using dimensionals.  I made glitter using dazzling details and a tiny drop of Tangelo Twist reinker, and applied it with a blender pen.

• "Noel" was die cut with Dazzling diamond glimmer paper and coloured with a Tangelo Twist marker.  The Fine tip glue pen was used to adhere it to the front of the wreath.

• A rhinestone was added to the bow.
• The inside of the card was stamped with the sentiment from the stamp set.

Festival of Trees Shaker Card - a CASE

This is a case from a card I saw on Pinterest which was originally posted on Stampin' Connection.  I haven't made a shaker card for a while so it was a lot of trial and error, but I finally got it.

After embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the On Point folder, I used a circle framelit to die cut a circle in the upper middle of the paper.
I made a larger circle for the image, which was in Whisper White. One tree was stamped using Garden Green ink before  the sky was created using Marina Mist and Pacific Point. Dazzling diamonds created snow on the ground.
On a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, another tree was stamped and punched out using the coordinating tree punch.  This tree was attached slightly lower and overlapping the other tree.
I used 1/4" framing tape to build up the shaker, placed some stars (punchies from star border punch) in the middle, and attached a piece of window sheet on top.  The shaker unit was inserted in the "hole" in the front piece and a ring of dazzling diamond glimmer paper was glued to the top.

Stamps: Festival of Trees, Wondrous Wreath
Inks: Garden Green, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, White Acrylic Paint (non SU) for the snow
Papers: Garden Green, Whisper white, Dazzling diamonds glimmer paper
Accessories: On Point folder, Circles framelit, Window sheet, Small star punch, Tree punch, 1/4" framing tape (non SU)

Wondrous Wreath Halloween

I'm now having fun with the wreath and am thinking of all sorts of applications.  My first thought was Halloween, so that's what I did.  But not before taking a nap.  I was so tired as I had been up during the night with back pain, and then was up at 5:30 this morning.  My creative juices dry up when I am tired.
So, here's Wondrous Wreath at Halloween.

I had a lot of fun with this card.
I started by using the Woodgrain background stamp, stamping it with Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then using the lines I cut it into boards and made a fence.  The edges of each board was sponged with Soft Suede and the top of the boards were rounded with the corner rounder punch.

The wreath which is hanging on the fence, was stamped in Early Espresso, with the ribbon and flowers in Tangerine Tango.  These I covered with Crystal Effects.

Aren't the pumpkins cute?  They're from Fall Fest - you can even stamp the faces on them.  The edges were sponged with Tangerine Tangelo after I die cut them using the framelits that go with the Fall Fest stamp set.

To make it more Halloweeny, a spider from "Googly Ghouls" (retired) and a bat from "Tee-Hee-Hee" were stamped in the top corners.

The sentiment is from  "Howl-o-ween Creeps"

Stamps:  Wondrous Wreath, Fall Fest, Tee-Hee-Hee, Googly Ghouls, Howl-o-ween Creeps, Woodgrain
Inks: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Tangerine Tango, Basic black, Tangelo Twist
Papers: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Wonderful Wreath framelits, Fall Fest framelits, dimensionals

Wondrous Wreath Christmas

Wow the weather has been nice.  So far Fall has had warmer temperatures than late summer.  It was so warm yesterday that I had the air conditioner on in the car.
And the trees are looking so beautiful - the reds, oranges, yellows- as are the wild fall flowers.  A lot of yellow with a sprinkling of purple.  I drove to Lindsay yesterday and quite enjoyed the scenery.
As of yesterday, it is 3 months until Christmas - so back to the Christmas cards.

My first wreath card - and I could have done better.  I had to watch SU's video below several times.  It looked so easy when they do it!




Here's the card I came up with:

Stamp: Wondrous Wreath
Inks: Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler
Papers: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Wonderful wreath framelits, dazzling diamonds
