And so we are back to Christmas, how joyous! As you can’t read the sarcasm in my words I’ll make it apparent by pointing it out. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas and making all the little bits and bobs but I have Sean screaming “The holidays are coming” in such and annoying voice!
Today I’m going a little different and not sharing a card, I know it’s strange for me but I love how this wreath turned out. To create the stars I created a template on a word document in five different sizes, I printed multiples of these so I could get cutting. I trimmed the each templates down and secured it with some washi tape. I personally used a scalpel to cut out all of the stars but you could easily use your paper snips or any other cutting machines you may have.
I choose three colours for the wreath and really based it around the Reservable Ribbon you can find in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue. The main colours in this ribbon is Merry Merlot and Cooper, I wanted to add the Whisper White just to being a purity look, I also think it makes all the other colours just pop. The glitter copper card stock is also found in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue and comes in a pack with Glimmer Paper in Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide. Isn’t is pretty! It’s just perfect and none of the glitter falls off or flakes.
At this moment we have loads to flat 2D stars and we are wanting to make them pop up. It’s so easy to do, simply scare from where two points meet to the opposing tip. You’ll need to do this for every point. I didn’t want crisp folds on the stars because I wanted them to have a little bounce. Once these had all been folded I glued them onto a copper flower wreath. I used the Reservable Ribbon to wrap around the top to create the the jock and bow. I have created a video for Instagram you can view here.
When I showed Sean and asked his opinion on this wreath, his response was that it belonged in the downstairs toilet. So I have taken a photo of it down there and while his comments annoyed me to start with it actually works well. I’m lucky he doesn’t read this so he won’t know that I’ve admitted he was right!
That’s all for today’s project but I’m excited to announce that Sunday will be my October Strawberry Card Swap. Prewarning it’s a Christmas card but as always I’ll show off everybody else’s creation.
See you around!
