Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a rustic holiday wreath!

NOEL TIDINGS

I thought the greenery from the Noel Tidings Bundle would be perfect to use to make my wreath! I cut up the large oval pine needle wreath into smaller sections, then formed it into the shape of a circle.

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was brushed with Crumb Cake Ink around the edges using a Blending Brush.
The oval pine needle die was cut from Peaceful Pine cardstock and then cut into pieces and formed into a circle on the front.
The branches were cut with the dies from Old Olive cardstock and tucked around the pine needle branches.
Six pinecones were stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Pecan Pie cardstock and cut with the Dies. They were added to the wreath with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The berries were cut with the die from Poppy Parade cardstock and added to the wreath.
I found the bow in the Winter Adventures stamp set and stamped it on Crumb Cake cardstock with Early Espresso Ink. It was cut with the Winter Adventures Die an added to the wreath.
Some “snow” was added with Embossing Paste to the berries and the pinecones.
Season’s Greetings was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink along the bottom.

I think it looks a lot like the inspiration photo, don’t you? OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! We have a pretty color challenge for you to try this week!

NOEL TIDINGS

These colors reminded me of Christmas, so I pulled out my Noel Tidings Bundle. I also remembered that Alpine Winter DSP has some pine branches images in it!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4-1/4 x 4-3/4 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock (I slipped in as a neutral base) was embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder and added to the front.
The pine branch print from Alpine Winter DSP was cut with the Everyday Arches Die and added towards the left side.
Three pine needle branches were stamped with Peaceful Pine Ink on Peaceful Pink cardstock and cut with the Die.
Two pinecones were stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Early Espresso cardstock and cut with the Dies.
The set of five berries were cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock using the Die.
All were layered together and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals towards the right edge of the arch.
Season’s Greetings was stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut around the letters, then cut apart. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and add between the pinecones.

This has a real rustic Christmas look! OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is evergreen branches!

NOEL TIDINGS

I like the evergreen wreath in the Noel Tidings Dies! I’ve combined it with the pine needle swags and acorns!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Peaceful Pine cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of gold metallic leaf print Neutral Noel DSP was added on top.
A 2-¾ x 4-½ piece of Basic White cardstock was cut with the oval shape Die. A Blending Brush added Golden Glow Ink to the center. The greeting was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink in center and the oval adhered to the DSP on the base card.
The 4-1/4 x 5-1/4 Peaceful Pine cardstock was cut with the pine wreath die and was adhered around the edges of the oval.
On 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 Basic White c/s, two pine needle fronds were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink, two pinecones with Pecan Pie Ink and the double and single berries with Poppy Parade Ink.
The pinecones were colored Pecan Pie Blends and the berries with Poppy Parade Blends. All were cut with the Dies and added to the bottom left side of the pine wreath (leave a gap for the bow).
A 8″ piece of Neutral Jute Combo (brown) was tied in a bow and added to the center of the pine fronds with Mini Glue Dots.
Three gold Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the background around greeting.

Love the metallic sparkle in the background DSP and the evergreen wreath! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
