This past Saturday, my upline, Gloria Plunkett hosted the Luv 2 Stampin GA team meeting. During our meetings, we are able to spend time making various projects. So today I am sharing a Lily Impressions 3-D project designed by Gloria for the team. This special 3-D project is a small wreath that is the perfect size to hang by your desk or in a work cubicle. Mine is going to hang in craft room by my work desk. The project features the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. This beautiful Lily Impressions is available in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. With a purchase of $50 (before shipping & taxes), you can select FREE.
Project Details:
To begin, use a 4″ Styrofoam wreath as the base. Next, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is cut into strips and wrapped around the wreath. When wrapping the strips, overlap the end of each strip and glue matching the ends of the Designer Series Paper strip. Before wrapping the strips, cut a “v” in both ends of the paper strips. TIP: When adding the strips, slightly overlap to cover the Styrofoam wreath. For embellishing the wreath, use the Starburst Punch to cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Cut a stitched circle from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then, top with your initial cut from Melon Mambo cardstock using the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies. NOTE: Cut three initials and layer to add dimension. With the Sprig punch, cut two sprigs from Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Sandwich the sprigs between the Whisper White stitched circle and the Pretty Peacock cardstock. Attach the circle to the middle of the wreath by using Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the edge of the cardstock circle. Finish by adding a Whisper White Polka Dot ribbon bow on the front. Glue a small ribbon circle on the back to use for hanging.
Isn’t this a cute wreath? What’s great is you can create your own unique wreath by selecting other coordinating colors for the embellishment. For a larger Styrofoam wreath, just adjust the length and width of the strips from the Designer Series Paper you select.

If you’ve been following my blog you know that for the past three weeks, my husband and I were traveling. Well, vacation’s over and I’m trying to get back into the groove. Guess you would say that I’m suffering vacation withdrawal! Have you ever experienced it? In addition to visiting places on our bucket list, we celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. (yes, I was just a babe when we got married! LOL) Before leaving on the cruise, I made an anniversary card for my husband. It was definitely a surprise to him. He wondered when I had time to make the card between Christmas, packing for our trip, removing Christmas decorations on December 26 and watching the two grandchildren on New Year’s Eve. Fortunately, I was able to sneak in a few minutes from the busy schedule to make a simple stamping anniversary card. The Heartfelt Bundle and Country Club Designer Series Paper from the Mini Catalog were perfect to use for creating a quick card.
How to create the card:
Use Thick Whisper White cardstock for the card base. Next, add a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of Garden Green cardstock. The top layer is a piece of the plaid Country Club Designer Series Paper (3-3/4″ x 5″). Punch a Garden Green heart using the Heart Punch Pack from the Heartfelt Bundle. Stamp the dotted heart onto Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy Stampin’ Pad. Use heart punch to cut the shape. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. Add he green heart to the card using snail adhesive and layer the sentiment heart atop the green heart using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel adds a touch of sparkle to the sentiment heart. Finish the card by wrapping the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the card and tying into a flat knot.
Hopefully, you were able to view my Facebook posts featuring photos of some of the spots visited. As we were cruising, internet was not reliable thus I did not post as many photos as planned. Our trip was outstanding and we were able to cross a few places off of our bucket list. Below are a couple of highlights from our excursion to Machu Picchu. Definitely, add this wonder to your trip bucket list.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great weekend and check back next week for more project ideas!
