Arrange A Wreath Bundle featured on Sunday, September 28th Facebook Live

 This Arrange A Wreath bundle is soooooo versatile.  I showed a fall card and a Christmas card with it but if you look on Page 127 of the Annual Catalog you can see several other projects made with this bundle.  The possibilities are endless!  Here are the directions for the cards I made:

Directions:

 

Adhere one of the ½” x 4” pieces of DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock then adhere to the inside of the card base.  Adhere the 4 ¼” piece of DSP to the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and then adhere to the card front.  Layer the remaining ½” x 4” piece of DSP onto the 3/8” x 4” piece of Mint Macaron Cardstock and then layer that onto the piece of ¾” x 4” Cajun Craze Cardstock.  Punch a 2” circle from the Very Vanilla scrap and use Cajun Craze ink to stamp it with the sentiment.  Using the photo for placement, adhere the sentiment piece to the card front.  Apply a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the 4” x 4” pieces of Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron cardstock.  Die cut these pieces with the Wreath dies (see photo for which color goes with which die).  Remove the backing sheet from the die cuts and adhere them to the card front with the Cajun Craze wreath adhered first and then the Mint Macaron wreath. Be sure the 2: circle is centered in the wreaths.   Use the Autumn Punch Pack to punch an acorn, oak leaf and maple leaf from the matching DSP.  Adhere the two leaves on the left side of the wreath and use a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere the acorn over the base of the leaves.  Use the Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend to color the ribbon and tie a bow with the colored ribbon.  Adhere the bow right below the acorn image on the wreath.  Send this card to someone you are thankful for!

Directions:

 

Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of DSP to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock, positioning it in Landscape orientation with the DSP on the right side of the cardstock.  Adhere this to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base (the fold will be on the left side of the card).  Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the card front.  Adhere the 1” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the middle of the card front.  Adhere the 2” x 3” pieces of DSP to the card front leaving about a ¼” gap between them.  Use the 2 ½” diameter Layering Circles die to cut a circle from the 3” x 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Using Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp the sentiment onto the circle piece of cardstock and then adhere the circle to the center of the card front.  Attach an Adhesive sheet to the back of the 4” x 8” piece of Shaded Spruce and use the leafy wreath die to cut two wreaths.  Remove the backing from each wreath and position them one on top of the other so the circle with the sentiment is in the middle of the wreath.  Use Crumb Cake ink to stamp the Partridge on the right side of the 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Whisper White and use Pear Pizzazz ink (stamping off once) to stamp the pears on the left side of the 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Whisper White.  Use the coordinating dies from the Wreath Builder dies to cut out the partridge and the pears.  Use the Dark Shaded Spruce, Dark Smoky Slate and Light Basic Black to color the Partridge (see photo for placement of colors).  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Partridge to the right side of the wreath and the two pears to the left side of the wreath. Apply a piece of adhesive sheet to a scrap piece of DSP large enough to accommodate the full bow die.  Cut this sheet using the full bow die.  Use another scrap (without the adhesive sheet) for the small piece of the bow (this piece make the bow three dimensional.  Remove the backing from the full bow piece and place it right below the Partridge so that it is partially adhered to the Partridge and partially adhered to the wreath.  Roll up a mini glue dot and adhere it to the center of the smaller bow piece, then adhere this piece to the bow.  Apply Gilded Gems to the center of the bow and in the top left and bottom right corners of the red DSP.  Enjoy!
