SIMPLE DIY WREATH CARDS

The cards below are CASE-ed from the card at the beginning of today's email, using current products. You'll find project instructions linked at the end!

FALL BIRTHDAY

Products Used:

• Bough Punch [leaf branch and berry sprigs]
  • I'm a BIG FAN of punches for making this card... it makes cutting all the leaf branches super quick & easy- but dies also work... it'll take a bit longer to prep all your pieces, but the options are endless! 
• Pretty Peacock Cardstock [card base]
• Peach Pie Cardstock [berry sprigs]
• Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Paper [leaf branches]
• Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Ribbon
• Neutrals Self-Adhesive Sequins [copper]
• Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamps [sentiment]
• Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' Pad

SAVVY TIPS

• Cut the Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper into 1-1/2" (x 12") strips- one from each pattern. Punch 7-8 leaf branches from each strip; use these to form the wreath, alternating patterns as you go around the circle.
• Adhere adhesive only to the bottom section of each leaf branch. This not only creates visual depth and dimension, but enables you to tuck additional leaf branches and berry sprigs into the wreath easily.
• I opted to offset the sentiment in the bottom third of the wreath, rather than across the center, and place the ribbon on the opposite side. This works well if your sentiment is smaller than the one in the original card. Another option!

GRATEFUL

Products Used:

• Bough Punch [leaves and berry sprigs]
• Neutrals Cardstock Pack 
  • Crumb Cake Card Base & Blackberry Bliss leaf branches
• Regals Cardstock Pack 
  • Cherry Cobbler & Cajun Craze leaf branches
• Gold Foil Sheets [berry sprigs]
• Timber 3D Embossing Folder
• Black & Vanilla Large Check 3/8" Ribbon
• Textured Floral Cling Stamps [sentiment]
• Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' Pad

Follow the same Savvy Tips from Card 1, cutting 1-1/2" (x 8-1/2") strips from each color of cardstock to punch leaves; alternating colors as you adhere leaves around the circle. Add Berry Sprigs after wreath is formed. Top with ribbon and sentiment... done!

 Make sure to check out the complete project details below... there's a subtle difference in how the wreaths were formed between the original card and the two above (which followed a pencil line created from a circle die) rather than the original method, which produces a fuller, more dynamic wreath.

Have fun creating savvulous wreath cards for your own family & friends!
