Merry Moments wreath

It has taken me a very long time to get my head around this. I found a foam wreath ring at the NEC and have sat looking at it since then. I finally plucked up courage to start it, the hardest part was deciding 'Do I punch out scallop ovals and hope they look hollyish?' or 'Do I draw out all the leaves and cut them out with scissors?'.

The first thing I had to do was cover the whole ring with thin strips of Garden Green CS using PVA - never again!!! I used the Scallop Oval punch (!) to punch out Garden Green and Merry Moments leaves which I scored down the centre and then sponged with Creamy Caramel ink around the edges. The poinsettia-style flowers were punched with two of the 5 Petal Punch and layered with flowers from the Flower Fusion and they were all joined using brads. A bow of 5/8 Real Red grosgrain finished it off.

Would I make another one - not a chance!! Well, ask me next year ........

Reindeer wreath card

I saw this idea on the net (forgot where - I do a LOT of blog hopping - SORRY!) but stamped with the cone from Autumn Days. I thought I would have a go with Pocket Silhouettes and the stag from Winter Post. I really like it, I think.... Just sitting here looking at it reminds me of a catherine wheel!

Chocolate Chip CS was used at the base card, with Real Red as the accent. Pocket Silhouette foliage was stamped with Old Olive. The stag was stamped with Chocolate Chip.

I did not put a greeting on as I did not want to cover the wreath.

Christmas thingy

Ok, not sure what this is, but I like it anyway!!

I used the Merry Moments DSP, tree from Sparkly and Bright, sentiment from Occasional Greetings, Round Tab punch, Totally Tabs, and Old Olive cardstock, ink and ribbon. PHEW....

I think next time I'll make it so it can hang on a Christmas tree, then maybe I'll know what it is!!
