Happy Wonderful Christmas - an alternative way of using the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set
Wednesday, 28 October 2015
I love that last years Christmas set Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer stamp set and the Wonderful Wreath Framelit Dies have carried over to this years Autumn/Winter catalogue.
I was thinking about recreating last years Christmas card because I didn't get a chance to blog about it..... but before I knew it I got totally sidetracked thinking about how else could I use this set without using the main wreath stamp.
The result is that I've made a card using the berries stamp (top right in the picture above) from the Wondrous Wrearh set. I used the sentiment included in this stamp set 'Happy Wonderful Christmas' and then punched out 5 flowers from Vellum cardstock using the Itty Bitty Accents punches and then added some Rhinestones.
I really like this effect. You could definitely use this stamp for any occasion, not just for Christmas. It also gave me another reason to use my current favourite cardstock - Whisper White Thick Cardstock.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say hello to all of my subscribers, new and old - whether you follow my blog through being a direct subscriber or through Bloglovin', Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Google+.

Some of my more recent subscribers may have come across my website from receiving a thank you note and free gift when buying retired Stampin' Up! products from me on eBay. If that's you - thank you and welcome!!
Everyone who bought a product from my online shop on eBay in the month of September received a version of the featured paper bag and thank you note and also a free gift containing at least 8 sheets of 6"x 6" DSP and some ribbon.
I love to share what I make so I thought it would be a good idea to provide all of my details and a little bit of information about Stampin' Up! and how to place an order on the note card inside the paper bag.
Thanks again to all of you who got in touch to let me know how much you liked my blog, how you liked by photos on eBay and how you were pleased with your free gift. You have no idea how much that meant to me. I hope that you enjoy looking at my projects and that they inspire you to craft and have fun!

If you've been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that I've been making cards with simple designs recently, I am loving the less is more look but I am not sure, with this card, if it works?
I love simplicity and modern design so I personally like what I've created here but I would love to know what you think.
I've simply cut a piece of the Winter Wonderland 6"x6" Designer Series Paper into 4 and stuck it onto a card base of Whisper White Thick Cardstock using some of the Winter Wonderland Designer Washi Tape. I then die cut "Merry" and stamped "Christmas" using the Holly Jolly Christmas bundle and voila, you have a modern, minimalist Christmas card.
Does it work? Well it does for me.... BUT I would love to know your opinion. Would you like to receive this card? Is it too simple? If you could add anything else to the design of this card, what would it be?
You can leave a comment by scrolling down this page just a little bit and clicking on the link which starts with "Thank you for visiting my website..."
To make this card, I cut my card base from Basic Black cardstock then added a mat of Island Indigo before adding the zebra print DSP. I stamped the sentiment "You are too kind. Thank You" using the One Big Meaning stamp set and layered it onto a mat of Island Indigo & Basic Black to match the card base. I then completed the design by adding a small Rhinestone above the 'i' in kind.

Okay, so I am not sure I can really call this a project when I've not done any stamping, punching or die cutting, but I just had to share it with you.
This project showcases the very cool Stampin' Up! Winter Wonderland DSP. Don't you just love the white antlers on the black background and the black trees on the white background - they are simply stunning.
Okay so I could have done some stamping, punching or die cutting but I just love it as it is. I'm definitely going through a less is more phase at the moment. In fact, the Christmas card I will be featuring on Saturdays project is exactly that.
