Season of Joy Wreath - One Hour Card Class 081 - OHCC081

I found this card on Pinterest.  It grabbed my fancy.  Hope you like it too.  Lovely Lipstick would have been my choice of color to use but I don’t have any just yet!

Stamps: Christmas Pines, Colorful Seasons.

Cardstock: Rose Red, White, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray.

Ink: Rose Red.

Tools: Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, ¼” Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon (SAB 2018), dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, mini glue dots, silver sequins, Cable Knit embossing folder.

Punches/Dies: Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies, Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Flourish Thinlits, Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.

Cut Smoky Slate cardstock 5” x 4”.  Lightly spritz the back of the panel with water, then blot it with a paper towel. While it was still damp, run it through the Cable Knit embossing folder. When completely dry, trim panel to 5” x 3-3/4”. 

I die cut the largest circle from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits in the center of my Rose Red panel. Die cut one medium snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits using Basic Gray cardstock scraps. From white scraps, die cut the smallest snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and 3 berry stems from the Flourish Thinlits. 

Stamp the phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set on a white scrap, adhere to a scrap of Basic Gray and add dimensionals.

Adhere a bow to the wreath with mini glue dots.  Add silver sequins to the card front.

Stamp a phrase from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Rose Red ink using the Stamparatus. Stamp a few snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set using Basic Gray ink.  Adhere to the inside of the card.  Decorate an envelope with the same snowflake images from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

Another layout I found on Pinterest!

Cherry Cobbler card.  Sign the back.

White panel 4” x 5-1/2”, which I know, is the same size as the card.  I find Cable Knit embossing folder shrinks the cardstock a bit so I would sooner cut it bigger then trim to fit my card.  Using the Stampin’ Spritzer, spritz cardstock with water on both sides before putting it in the Cable Knit embossing folder - it is suggested that the card stock be lightly spritzed with water to relax the paper fibers so that they will stretch and not break while being embossed.  Because the folder is so thick the Sandwich is a bit different: Regular platform – cardstock in embossing folder – cutting pad.  Set aside to dry.

Cut Presents and Pinecones DSP at 1-1/2” x 5-1/4”.  Over stamp with the ornaments from the Cozy Critters stamp set in Crumb Cake ink.  Set aside.

Cut Cherry Cobbler cardstock 1” x 5-1/4”.  Punch one long edge with the Scallop border punch and adhere to top of DSP.  Adhere to Cable Knit panel.  Lay panel on card front but do not adhere.  Trim if necessary.  Set aside.

Cut Taupe ribbon 10” long.  Wrap around a ‘D’ clear block.  Tie a knot.  Trim both ends on an angle.

Remove from block.  Set on Cable Knit panel to determine where to cut it. 

Tape ends to the back.  Adhere to card front. 

Pop a glue dot behind knot of ribbon.  Set aside.

Cut a 2-1/2” circle – I used my Coluzzle as that is what I have - from the Emerald Envy cardstock.  Apply Dimensionals and adhere to card front. Set aside.

Stamp the gingerbread man from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set on to a 2” wide strip of white cardstock using Crumb Cake ink.  Punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch.  Adhere so that his feet are at the bottom of the circle.

Cut a strip 1-1/2” wide of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  Punch the main hat piece and two hearts using the Jolly Hat Builder punch.  Run the hat through the Square Lattice embossing folder. 

Adhere hearts to the gingerbread man for buttons.  Color hearts with the clear Wink of Stella. 

Cut a scrap of white cardstock ¾” wide.  Stamp using the Touches of Texture stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink.

Punch the band and pompom out with the Jolly Hat Builder punch.  Assemble hat on the gingerbread man.

Color two pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewels with a black Sharpie. 

Adhere to gingerbread man for eyes.

Remember the writing tablet?  Perfect for the inside of cards.  Fold a piece in half. Stamp with a phrase and an image if desired.  Adhere to inside of the card.

Make an envelope from Christmas wrapping paper using the envelope punch board.
