Here's a quick little tutorial
The card is 5" x 5" square and is cut 5" x 10" and scored at 5". The Cherry Cobbler Layer is cut 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" and the white is cut 4 3/4" x 4 3/4"
To make your wreath you will use the pine bough from Watercolor Winter Stamp Set. Cut out a 1 3/4" circle from a post-it note
Add this circle to the center of your Whisper White piece. Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig line up your pine bough and stamp with Always Artichoke - stamp once, change the SAMJ and stamp again without reinking your stamp. Stamp just to the right of your first stamp. Do this all the way around the circle making sure your "branch" is inside the post-it note circle.
Remove the post-it note and you have your wreath. Add some 1/2" circles punched in Cherry Cobbler.
Draw a line in Cherry Cobbler with your Stampin' Write Marker for the small ornament to "hang" on. Stamp the ornament in Versamark and cover with gold embossing powder - punch out with the punch pack Merry Minis ornament. Attach to Cherry Cobbler line with dimensionals.
For the tag I stamped "Seasons Greetings" in VersaMark and also gold embossed it on a piece of 1" x 5" Whisper White. I cut out one end with my paper snips to make the "ribbon" look. And then added a piece of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock to the left end cut 1/2" x 1". Attach this to the front of the card with dimensionals.
Cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding about 10" and tie into a bow and add to the front of the card with mini glue dots.
Then I added both Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White cut in the same measurements above to the inside of the card. I stamped the pine bough in there too
I hope this will inspire you a bit. Please let me know if you have any questions!!
