Hello, sorry for the lack of posts this week – I’ve had one of those weeks! It’s been filled with doctor’s appointments, punctures, shopping disasters and more. But I’m glad to be back here and have a great one to come back with as today is the Stampin’ Stars Autumn Winter Seasonal Blog Hop, where members of the larger family of demo’s that I am part of are all sharing projects and ideas with products from the new Seasonal catalogue.  So you might have arrived here from the head honcho of our fab team – the lovely Natalie O’Shea and if so … hello! If not, then don’t worry just click on the buttons at the bottom of the post and you can get on your blog hop journey.

I have a couple of cards to share that showcases one of my favourite sets in the catalogue – Wondrous Wreath.

STAMPIN’ DELIGHT TIPS & TRICKS

• The Wondrous Wreath Stamp set is a fantastic photopolymer set which allows for you to simply triple stamp the images to create this layered wreath in a trio of colours. Here I used Pistachio Pudding, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler.
• It also comes with matching Wonderful Wreath framelits which make cutting it out a real simple task, and with a 15% saving on buying both teogther as a bundle, you’d be daft not to.

• I love hanging a wreath on our door at Christmas time, so it seemed only fitting to recreate a door with the Hardwood Stamp Set. I stamped the image twice on Sahara Sand cardstock and cut one of the layers with my Stampin’ Trimmer to create the panels of the door.
• The Good Greetings stamp set (free with orders over £200) is used for the sentiment on a cute little banner.

Once I started stamping out the wreath, I thought about my own Christmas home decor and I love to have a garland across the mantelpiece so I set to work to create this second card:

• The garland is simply created by stamping the image twice and then snipping one in half and positioning it accordingly. I love the bows which are in Real Red again and are cut out with one of the framelits.

• The mantel piece was created by scoring the brick pattern with my Simply Scored – so simple and effective. A wooden top was added with the Hardwood stamp.
• Finished the card off with one of the two word thinlets that come in the framelits collection – Joy and Noel. Perfect for lots of your festive makes.

So hope you like my first festive share of the season, I will be sharing step-by-step photo tutorials on how to make this card with my Stampin’ Delight Darlings over on our exclusive Facebook page. You can see links to all the products used below and why not become a Darling by shopping for your supplies here.

So thanks for popping by and now it’s time to hop on your way round for lots more inspiration.
