Christmas Door Wreath ~ Spellbinders Holly Wreath

Hello bloggers, back to the Christmas cards today with this Christmas door wreath card.

This card began as an A4 sheet of gloss green card stock that I cut and scored to make a DL card blank.  Next using some more of the same green card stock I cut two panels for the front of the door.  I then used an off cut of gold mirror board card stock and cut out a letter box shape by hand.  The top panel of the door was adhered to the top half of the card.  I then added the letter box to the centre and the bottom panel was added below the letterbox.

Next I added a gold coloured brad to act as a door knob.  I then made a small red envelope out of some red paper and adhered this going into the letter box. I used some white card stock that I had inked with festive berries distress ink and die cut a wreath using Spellbinders die d-lites 'holly wreath' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with bundled sage distress ink.  I then repeated this process with some red and green Christmas theme paper and plain red paper.  The three were layered up using foam pads and each one was slightly off set so that you can see some of all the layers.  Finally I die cut a bow from gold mirror board using the same die set as above.  This was then adhered to the top of the wreath.

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas ~ Spellbinders Holly Wreath Makey Bakey Mice Christmas

Hello bloggers I don't know about you but yesterday seemed to fly by so quickly I hardly achieved anything.  Today I have a decoupage card featuring a Christmas wreath.

This card began as a length of glossy card stock that I cut and scored to make card blank 13cm x13.5cm.  Next using several different green papers and card stocks from my scrap bin I die cut the wreaths with Spellbinders Die d-lites 'holly wreath' die set.    The different layers were then layered up off set with foam pads to give it height and dimension.  Next using some self made red foiled card stock I die cut the faux bow with the same die set as above.  This was then adhered to the bottom of the wreath.  The whole wreath was the adhered to the card.

Next I cut a 1" strip of white card stock to fit across the top of the card.  I stamped the sentiment using festive berries distress ink and Crafter's Companion  Makey Bakey Mice 'holly jolly Christmas' stamp set  The edges of the sentiment strip were inked with the same ink pad.  I die cut 6 of the faux bows from the same self made foiled card stock.  These were layered up into sets of 3 and one set was adhered at each end of the strip.  The sentiment strip was then adhered towards the top of the card.
