Have you started making your holiday cards? If not, you’ll want to consider the Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card I’m sharing. It’s one of the holiday card designs that I’ll be using as Christmas approaches. The design is an Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card and is from my Guest Stamper presentation for the Luv 2 Stamp team. In previous posts, I provided you with other ideas for using this versatile stamp set and die bundle. The Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card is one of my favorite projects using the bundle. The Merry Merlot and Brushed Metallic cardstocks along with the Gold Cards & Envelopes create an elegant card.
Card Details:
- With Arrange A Wreath dies, cut 2 leaf dies from the gold Brushed Metallic cardstock and one twig die from the Merry Merlot cardstock.
- Using the largest flower die (6 petal flower); cut 6 flowers from the Merry Merlot cardstock.
- Spritz the Merry Merlot flowers and twig wreath with the Champagne Mist. (Does not show in photo but the spritzing adds a special glimmer touch!) After drying, layer two of the flowers together using a glue dot to hold the layers (creating 3 poinsettia flowers).
- Next, stamp 5 leaves using Old Olive Classic Ink Pad onto Old Olive cardstock and cut with the coordinating die.
Create a 3 layer wreath:
- Attach the Merry Merlot twig wreath atop one of the gold leaf wreaths taking note to offset the twigs with the leaves. TIP: use small dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the circle line of the wreath to adhere the wreath.
- Next, add the adhesive to the back of the remaining gold leaf wreath and layer it atop the Merry Merlot wreath. AGAIN – offset the placement so the leaves aren’t lined up with one another.
- Add Mini Stampin’ Dimensions to the back of the wreath and add to the top portion of the card base.
- Attach leaves to the poinsettia flowers using glue dots. Arrange flowers and add to the wreath with glue dots.
- Finish the flowers by adding Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots to the center of each flower.
- Use the Detailed Trio Punch to punch the design on each end of the Merry Merlot cardstock for the sentiment label.
- Next, stamp “Merry Christmas” using Merry Merlot onto a strip of Very Vanilla. Then, attach to the Merry Merlot strip and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
If you want to create a special card, look at the Arrange A Wreath bundle for lots of possibilities. I’ve been cutting additional wreaths to use for creating more Merry Christmas cards. So when the time arrives to start mailing my holiday cards, I can quickly assemble. And best of all, using the beautiful Gold Cards and Envelopes saves lots of time!
