Tis the Season

Halloween is over and that means the Holidays are fast approaching! My favorite time of the year is now through the new year. 

When you love Eyelet Outlet products like I do, you are always thinking about how they can be used to upscale stamps and dies. Here I used a set I recently got from Spellbinders to create a pretty wreath. It makes a great wreath but I think you'll agree that it so much better with the brads and bling I added to it!

I used two circle dies to cut a donut shape out of white glitter cardstock and then I cut and arranged all the basic wreath pieces using brown and three shades of green. I also cut and put together the bow. Then I added Bell Brads, Poinsettia Brads, Candy Cane Brads and Holly Brads to the wreath. I perched a female and male cardinal on the bow and added red Jewel Bling from the multi-pack. To create a stopper for my easel card, I added Green Cut Jewels to a red glitter border. I adhered a pre-printed foiled sentiment, "Tis The Season," which spreads across the wreath. All in all, this turned out even better than I expected!

Happy Hello Wreath

Hi EO fans! Everyone loves a wreath and they are so great on cards no matter how they are made. Today I have a wreath made of dove tailed washi tapes hung on some pink and white baker's twine. 

I made this by cutting washi strips from four rolls of tape. Each strip started approximately 1 1/2" long and I cut three strips of each pattern. Then I cut a length of twine and folded each washi tape over the twine so that they became flags with a flat bottom. Once placed on the twine, I used my scissor to cut them approximately the same length with a straight bottom. Then I trimmed each end into a dovetail. I formed the flags into a circle on a 5 1/2" card base. I glued each flag in place with a dot of glue. I made a twine bow with four loops and glued it to hide where the twine ends came together at the top. To decorate my wreath, I used Snowflake Bling in green and red and used Pearl Bling in the corners of the card and one large one on top of the bow. The final step was to cut the Hello word from a die in gold foil and yellow cardstock. I shifted the two words slightly with the yellow on the back and glued them together. Then I glued the finished word across the wreath.
