Arrange A Wreath Holiday Cards

Good Sunday Morning!

Hope your enjoying a nice weekend!

Yesterday Miss Bailee had a dog grooming appointment and later in the afternoon I had a haircut appointment. Miss Bailee looked wonderful when we picked her in her little ladybug scarf but she was pretty tired after that! Ryan said while we were at my hair appt that she slept most of the time. I had a couple of inches taken off my length as I usually do over the summer. The girl who does my hair told me that I have a ton of new growth coming in and it's all gray. She said it's a pretty gray. LOL I am noticing less and less hair loss so I think my doctor was spot on with the thyroid being the issue with my hair falling out. Anyways, after my hair appointment we did a Sam's Club trip then back home for BLT's and fresh corn on the cob for dinner. The tomato & corn were perfect! I am thinking of using some fresh corn on the cob to make a batch of Chicken Corn Soup for one day this week! I love all the fresh fruits & veggies that come this time of year!

Last week I spent a few days at my stamp table playing around with so much of my Christmas stash. Lots of paper, stamps & embellishments just waiting to be used. I made this set of cards one day using Merry Moments DSP and a bundle called Arrange A Wreath...both long retired.






Card Details:

Stamps: Arrange A Wreath (retired)
Ink: Real Red
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Real Red, Basic White, Merry Moments DSP (retired)
Accessories: Wreath Builder Dies (retired), Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Red Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

Each strip of DSP was cut down to 1 1/4 x 4 and trying to give each strip the same space in between was a bit tricky but I loved the design once they were finished. The wreath I diecut  using Adhesive Sheets but that gave me lots of issues taking the backing off so I ended up ditching that idea and just attached them with Mini Dimensionals. That worked so much better! I made 6 cards in this design. I have so much of this DSP left that I could have probably made 2 more packs. 

This week I have 2 more cards to make for Audrey and I will be delivering her order to her. 
She said she is completely out of cards! I guess the sooner I get them done and delivered to her, the better!

Those pretty papers still hold their value in making great Christmas cards! I love the wreaths and perfect little sentiment panel. Your corn and BLT sandwiches sound heavenly and I can't wait to buy some myself! Have a great weekend.

LOVE these! Thanks for including the measurements---I was going to ask! I think the prints coordinate beautifully with your pretty wreath. That adhesive paper works great for some things....not so great for others!
