I’ve seen Jennifer McGuire make so many beautiful cards using a wreath builder so I decided I was finally going to give it a try. I made my wreath builder using a stencil blank from a local craft store and my Silhouette Cameo. I decided the little images in the Amazing Life stamp set might work for this and I think I just need some more practice. I think it’s cute. As you can see, I need to practice with the Stampin’ Blends also. 🙂
My wreath builder:
I decided to play with the Brusho crystals to watercolor the flower from the Humming Along Cling Stamp Set. First I stamped the flower on watercolor paper using VersaMark and clear embossing powder. I then used a mask and stamped and embossed two more times. I tapped out some of the crystals into a palette and added water to use for my watercoloring. The sentiment may have been better on it’s own banner but I kinda like it like this because I can see the flower through it.

I’m busy preparing for the Demos Galore event coming up at the end of this month and I thought I would create a card with some of the pieces I had laying on my table. I’m really loving the new stitched rectangles!
Happy New Year! I’m back today with an alternative for the December 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit. I really wanted to have the year on each of the months and a picture that went with them so here is what I came up with. (My craft table is a mess right now, you will see why when you see how many stamp sets I used.)
I used the retired Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper on a piece of chipboard I saved from the kit. I ALWAYS save my chipboard, you never know when you will need it. The rings are 1/2″ book rings and I used my Crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the chipboard. I cut the chipboard on my guillotine style cutter after adding the DSP (apparently I need to clean the blade to get a sharper cut). The banner for each year is from Pick A Pennant and done using the Stamparatus.

The chipboard is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ front and back. The base is 4″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 1″, 2″, & 3″ then folded as above. I attached the chipboard using Beacon 3 in 1 glue.
I absolutely love the Buffalo Check background stamp and I thought pairing it with the Dashing Deer bundle would be great. I love how this card came out. I even used the beautiful deer die on the inside.
I’m going to take the month of December off from blogging but I’ll be back in January.

I showed you my scrapbook page that I created for this swap on Tuesday, today I’ve got the pages I received in return. A scrapbook swap is a lot of work but it’s worth it to get this many pages at once!
