Good morning and welcome back to the work week. And – the FIRST DAY of AUGUST! What in the world?!? How is it possible that the year is going so fast? AND Sale-A-Bration? Yep – we’re already half-way thru! Yikes!
I saw a cool sketch at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and my brain informed me that the right way to go was with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. So…I did! Take a look-see:
And here’s the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
And I used the color palette from the Color Throwdown challenge this week.
I started by embossing a Crumb Cake panel in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and then I adhered it to the front of my Crumb Cake card base with Liquid Glue.
I cut three Very Vanilla squares using the next-to-largest Stylish Shapes die.
On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the wreath from the Cottage Wreaths set three times in Balmy Blue. I stamped each wreath with the twig image in Crumb Cake – and cut them all out with the coordinating die in the Country Wreaths die set.
I adhered the three die cut wreaths to the three Very Vanilla squares with Liquid Glue.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the top and bottom wreaths to the card front.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the middle wreath on.
I used the little leaves dies – there are four of them! – in Country Wreaths to cut out four Balmy Blue leaves and then adhered them to the bottom corner of the middle wreath with Liquid Glue.
I tied a simple bow with two lengths of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the Cottage Wreaths sentiment in Balmy Blue and cut it out with the smallest little banner die from Stylish Shapes.
I used double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment over the bow, added a few Very Vanilla dots from the Classic Matte Dots pack – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the Cottage Wreaths wreath in stamped-off-once Balmy Blue in the middle of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment in the center in full-strength Balmy Blue – and added another Very Vanilla Classic Matte Dot.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Balmy Blue mat and into the Crumb Cake card base and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the wreath – and a sentiment! – in Balmy Blue on the front…
…and I used the little leaves stamp from Cottage Wreaths to stamp all over the envelope flap in Balmy Blue!
Et Voila! I love the Cottage Wreath Bundle – the stamped images are gorgeous and the coordinating Country Wreaths dies make it so easy to cut them out – as well as other foliage for your projects! And – what do you think of it in soft blues and creams!? I sort of love it!
I hope you like!
