Hello and welcome to November’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we are all about 3D items and I would like to share a Simple Christmas Wreath with you, that I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) from the mini catalogue pg47. On my first look through the catalogue, I was drawn to the Sweetest Star Bundle. The fun images are so cute and having a punch makes for quick and easy crafting. I have also seen this turned into a Halloween wreath instead of a Christmas Wreath.

I haven’t got the DSP (designer series paper), nor the ribbon used in the sample. That’s right, I don’t have everything! Lol. I have used the Sentimental Christmas DSP, which is my favourite, and the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. The florist’s ring was one I had previously purchased to create a different Christmas wreath; these can be purchased from various places at low cost. You could cut one from strong card.

A Simple Christmas Wreath

Choose three designs of DSP and punch out six of each design, using the Sweetest Star Punch. This is enough for a 10″ wreath. Score along from each point and crease. Use a hot glue gun to attach your stars to your wreath. Alternate your designs and turn stars to various orientations.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using Shaded Spruce ink. I used the More Wishes stamp set for my sentiment. Trim to required size and flag cut the lefthand side. Matt onto Poppy Parade cardstock. Attach to your wreath.

Stamp your chosen image onto a strip of Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colour the stamped image with Stampin’ Blends. I used Poppy Parade, Wild Wheat, Basic Black, Ivory, and added Wink Of Stella to any white areas. Once dry punch out and adhere to the right of your sentiment, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tie a large bow with Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon and adhere behind you punched out image.

Finish your Simple Christmas Wreath by adding a length of ribbon to hang.

I hope I have inspired you to try creating your own Christmas Wreath. All the products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online store.

Please do continue to hop round for lots more creativity and inspiration. I can’t wait to see what the other demonstrators have chosen to share with you.

Happy Crafting
