FB Video Recap: Encircled In Nature Warm Wishes

 

I’ve been showing you how to use the Encircled in Nature bundle to make several different cards for all four seasons as well as Christmas. This video, again, uses this bundle to create a card that could be used for a winter birthday or a Christmas card by switching out the greeting and sentiments. The card makes up pretty quickly, so making several for Christmas cards will go fairly fast.

You can watch the video here. Be sure to check out the other videos demonstrating the other cards for the various seasons and Christmas!

 

To recreate this card, you need the following cardstock:
  • Card Base: Misty Moonlight – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″

The supply list for this card is below. In the video, I made the card a Christmas card and used a greeting and sentiment from retired stamp sets. Feel free to use stamps of your choice for the greeting and inside sentiment, whether you make it a birthday or Christmas card.

FB Video Replay: Magnolia Mood Birthday

 

Here is the second video I have using the Magnolia Mood bundle, which is an Online Exclusive set available beginning March 5, 2024.

In this video, I used the brighter colors of Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia paired with the Poetic Expressions DSP.

I still think this card looks very elegant too, so perhaps it’s the stamped images that create the elegance for the card! You can watch the video demonstration for this card here.
