CCMC177 – Holiday Wreath Punch Art

November 24, 2011 By Connie | 10 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I hope you are enjoying the day with family and friends…I know we are! But, it's Thursday and we have a wonderful color combination for you to try over on Create with Connie and Mary! So, after you are stuffed with turkey, check it out and play along!

I've seen a couple different styles of the bird wing wreath, so wanted to give it a try!

I started with a base of Lucky Limeade cardstock and added Night of Navy that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Houndstooth Impressions Folder. I added two strips of the Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon across the center. I added a panel of River Rock cardstock. Then the fun part! I punched out a bunch of bird wings from the Two Step Bird Punch from the Patterns Designer Paper in Lucky Limeade and Night of Navy. I punched a 1 3/8" circle of Whisper White and used Petite Pairs greeting in the center, then started building my wreath around it…using some Stampin' Dimensionals for added height. I added some 1/4" Silver Glimmer Circles around the wreath…they certainly SPARKLE! Finally, I added a bow of the Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon with a Lucky Limeade patterned brad in the center.

I love the colors in this wreath, hope you enjoy it, too! Make sure to check out the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team to inspire you this week…and come play along! We love to see what you do with our challenges!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 22 years and just had my 21st year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
