Stamping with Hart: How to Make This Christmas Wreath Card: Handmade Circle Card Tutorial

Make this wreath card with me!

What you need:

Card Base: Very Vanilla Cardstock (2 Pieces cut to 6 x 6")
DSP Layer (Shaded Spruce Check Pattern) (6 x 6") Joy of Christmas DSP
10 Die Cut Pine Branches (Very Vanilla Cardstock) Christmas Classics Dies
5 Double Berry Die Cuts (Real Red Cardstock)
5 Single Berry Die Cuts (Real Red Cardstock)
4 Die Cut Holly Leaves (Shaded Spruce Cardstock) Christmas Classics Dies
5 Red Gems (from Loose Holly Gems and Sequins)
4 Holly Sequins
1 Piece large check ribbon (About 10 to 12 inches)

Instructions

Glue DSP to one of the Very Vanilla cardstock pieces. Run with through Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine with the Deckled Circle Dies in 5-3/4" and then the inner circle size is 3"

Place the smaller circle in the center and when you run through it will look like a wreath.

Run the back of the card through now with just the 5-3/4" deckled circle die.

Score the top of the back panel at 1" mark

NOTE: Optional that you can line up the deckled circles to match exactly. I recommend a clip to hold the panels in place once you line them up if you choose.

Place adhesive above the score line only. Glue the front panel to the back panel.

Stamp greeting from Christmas Classics Stamp Set in Real Red ink in the center of the wreath with the card closed.

Stamp 10 pine branches - 5 in Old Olive and 5 in Shaded Spruce ink. Add additional color (same shade as branch) with Blending Brush (optional)

Arrange your branches in a circle in the center of the wreath ring. Once you have your layout, start gluing them down with dimensionals. They will slightly overlap.

Take the 4 die cut holly leaves and arrange them on the inner part of the wreath. They will be half on the wreath and then half of each holly leaf with frame the greeting. ONLY GLUE the part of the leaf that will be on the wreath. If you glue the whole leaf you won't be able to open the card.

Once you have your holly leaves positioned around the stamped greeting glue the part of each leaf that will be on the wreath circle layer.

Add the die cut berries in clusters of 3 on each Shaded Spruce branch.

Add the red gems to the center of each berry cluster with a glue dot.

Add the holly leaves sequins around the large die cut holly to add a little sparkle to the card.

Finish by tying ribbon into a bow and securing to wreath with a glue dot.
