Hi Everyone
Not quite so bright and beautiful here today weatherwise .. .. .. but the air is much fresher and there is a chance of some rain .. .. which isn't a bad thing really as the gardens and the reservoirs really do need it.
Sharing a card today for taking over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is
"Let's Wreath it Up"
and this is what I have created:
This used:
Wreath Die: Cheap and cheerful from Amazon here
Sentiment: Computer generated
Backing paper I think was part of a Christmas pad from The Works ages ago
Ribbon
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
A fun card to make that didn't involve me actually needing to do any die cutting at all because I had a little storage box full of leftover circles and wreath outlines from identical cards I have made previously .. .. and in a wide variety of colours. So it was just a case of gluing the outline down and fitting the circles into the gaps.
Hope your week is going well and no-one has ended up with sunburn.
I promise not to make my next post a Christmas one. I know for a lot of people it is far too early to be making them, or even thinking about them .. .. .. but I just have to squeeze them in any chance I get.
A fabulous wreath die Jules, love your choice of background papers and colours xx
ReplyDeleteIt's never too early to make a start on Christmas cards and, of course, I guess that's the aim of the various seasonal challenges which run throughout the year 😉. Well done for raiding your collection of die cuts and coloured circles to come up with this beauty. Interesting effect with the striped paper for the wreath.
ReplyDeleteA fab Christmas wreath card Jules and love the traditional red and green combo.
ReplyDeleteThe more the merrier Jules! I can never make enough. I love your wreath card with all the paper pieced circles. I’ve a card to share using various patterned papers, but fussy cut, silly me 🙄. Have a good weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules, I too have a little box of leftover circles! We're a thrifty lot us cardmakers. Love your card sooooooooo much. Thanks for playing along with Greta and me at The Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeleteyour wreath Christmas card is stunning as usual and thanks for the link to the fabbie die ;-)
Bring on all the Christmas cards I say!!
Well done for keeping the die cuts from previous cards - I would have put them in a 'safe place' never to be found again!!
Hope you are not melting in the heat and have a wonderful weekend.
Love Eve xxx
