The Arrange A Wreath Bundle is one of my favorites from the current catalog, and I’m sorry to say that it is retiring on May 3rd!
One of the reasons I love this set is because it is so very versatile, and you can make special cards for all seasons and occasions. I had great fun making Easter cards with this set just a few weeks ago ,and now I wanted to show you yet another reason to get this set before it retires.
It makes gorgeous Christmas cards!
Whether you like the traditional red and green colors of Christmas or tend to like the elegance of silver and gold foil accents, the dies in this set will make beautiful wreaths.
No need to be stressed out about making Christmas cards when the holidays start approaching. Make sure you have this set on hand and you can make your cards at your leisure!
For these cards, I made the standard A2 card, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. I kept the design rather simple since I usually want to make several of the same or similar cards for Christmas.
I’m showing you cards where I made a wreath from the Silver Foil paper, one from Gold Foil Paper, and one from Real Red and Shaded Spruce cardstock.
For the Silver Wreath, I used the dies to make the Poinsettias with Basic White cardstock and highlighted them with Wink Of Stella. I used Red Rhinestones for the flower centers. I placed the wreath on a Night of Navy background, which I embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder, and finished it off with a bow made with sheer red ribbon.
For the gold wreath card, I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the card base and some retired Christmas pine branch DSP as the background. Use your favorite DSP or coordinating cardstock color for your background. The poinsettias are made with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and embellished with Gilded Gems for the flower centers. I used a piece of Gold Metallic Edge ribbon for the bow and used Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the greeting on a 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, which I then flagged the ends of and attached to the card with dimensionals.
For this traditional Christmas color card, I used Real Red cardstock for the card base and layered on a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock, then a retired piece of Christmas DSP. I cropped the wreath pieces with Real Red and Shaded Spruce cardstock, and the poinsettias with Basic White highlighted with Wink of Stella. I used rhinestones for the flower centers and added a silver metallic edge bow at the top of the wreath. I stamped the greeting with Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock, flagged it and layered it onto a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock, and then attached it to the card with dimensionals.
For the inside of these cards, I used matching cardstock for one layer, then stamped my sentiment with matching ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock before adhering it to the inside of the card.
I have made several cards using this bundle and I just love how they all have a unique look to them even though I’ve used the same dies. If you haven’t seen these projects, just click on the Gallery on the menu bar and scroll through the 2021 photos.
