Wednesday Wreath - Merriest Moments #11


Whilst the Merriest Moments is still out... it had to be done... a merry & joyful wreath! 

But before I start... and sorry for the repetition this week!... An admin matter... regarding blog post notification emails not arriving... click HERE for details to rectify... or simply to subscribe to blog post notifications by email for the future...

CLICK HERE for a quick pictorial on stamping a wreath with a "spray stamp"... though no Stamp A Ma Jig required with these photopolymer stamps... 

And 2 things I have to note...

(1) this stamp set is fabulous for stamping a wreath! So easy to add extra colour,  layers and depth.

Here I used Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen & Cherry Cobbler on a Large Square (14.8cm) Very Vanilla card blank with a 12.5cm Cherry Cobbler Mat and 12cm panel

(2) I don't think that my Merriest Moments bundle will be put away until it's actually Christmas! Lovely greetings & images, gorgeous embossing and die cut feature making such simple stunning cards... and such incredible versatility... a true great! Please please please let this one carryover come January...

Scraps on Sunday - Peaceful Place #2

 

Another card in my Peaceful Place suite class set... Love it when the scraps of one card make a quick base for another...

But before I start... an admin matter... regarding blog post notification emails not arriving... click HERE for details to rectify... or simply to subscribe to blog post notifications by email for the future....
So the die cut Stitched Rectangle aperture from this card creates the background sky...
Just add a die cut panel and a Stampin Blends coloured fussy cut house (from the Peaceful Place papers) to create a perfect little scene... Simples!

Fancy Fold Friday - Peaceful Place #1 - Concertina Diorama Card

Quick share of one of the cards featuring in my Peaceful Place suite class... 

Set on a 5 layer Concertina Diorama card to set the peaceful 3D scene... 

Edited to Add -  I have written up up a PDF tutorial bundle for 6 of my Peaceful Place cards... and I offer a Class in the (UK only) post too... See HERE for more details

Have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed making this set of cards as not only is this  my favourite suite in the seasonal catalogue (well I have always loved creating a scene... and these papers are just perfect for that) 

But I always love it when a product inspires some new card folds... but more of those on another day...
