BEAUTIFUL WREATH FROM OUR NEW WREATH KIT

HEY BLOGGIES,

My friend and one of my downline members, Karen P. and I put together the Wreath Kit yesterday and I wanted to share it with you.

We had such a fun time to make our wreaths together at her home.

Here it is all finished and up on the door.  I have a porch overhang so it is protected from weather.  Since it is made from paper, burlap ribbon and cardboard, you don't want it to ever get wet.

 This is a closeup so you can see the different types of flowers to create.  All the supplies except the hot glue is included in the kit.

 These open POPPY-type flowers are the largest.  One large yellow one and 3 smaller ones in yellow, coral and light blue.

I love the ones made with the fringed paper.  And the top small blue water lily-type flower is so cute.  I snipped and cupped the inner layer so that it had more dimension and looks more like a water lily. The directions had it just be flat.

I would suggest getting one of these kits and making it with a friend or your family.  It is fun to make and a beautiful project when completed.

Any questions, let me know.

FALL PAPER WREATH - LOOK ON PAGE 185 OF THE BIG CATALOG

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am so happy you came back to visit me today.  I wanted to show you the wreath I made for fall.  I used the photo on page 185of the big catalog.  I love all the ideas you can get from our catalogs, don't you?

My team mate Karen and I made these wreaths this week without any directions and we think they came out pretty good.

 I used my BIG SHOT and the AUTUMN ACCENTS BIGZ DIE.  I put 4 or 5 sheets of card stock on the die at one time and VOILA - they were all cut with one pass!!  GOTTA LOVE THAT!!

I also used some designer paper for some of the leaves.

I then ran some of the solid card stock leaves through the BIG SHOT and the WOODGRAIN embossing folder.  Some with ink; some without. It gave the leaves great texture.

Here is a closeup so you can see the leaves  individually.  There are also acorns on this same die.

Here is a photo of Karen's wreath using non-Stampin' Up! papers:

She did a wonderful job, didn't she?  I LOVE the banner she added at the bottom with clothes pins.

Hope you enjoyed our wreaths.  Thanks for stopping by.  We would love to hear some comments.

HOME DECO WREATH WITH STAMPIN' UP!

Hey my bloggie friends,

I have been "making" the wreath for 3 months and finally sat down and created it today.  My daughter gave me the cute little bird nests for my birthday in January.  The chipboard letters are SU, as well as the inks I sponged on them.

The flowers are cut with my Big Shot and flower die and I used the packing material from shipments from SU as the paper I cut out for the flowers.  I spritzed the whole wreath with my spritzer and the pearl shimmer spray and baja breeze reinkers.

The chipboard letters are sponged with crisp cantaloupe, crumb cake, pistachio pudding, and pool party.  I then punched holes for the twine with my Crop-a-dile.

It is hanging on my front door and I LOVE how it looks.  The flowers are so easy to make with my big shot and a flower die.  I spritzed them and then crumbled them until dry.

 This photo looks like a different color because the flash did not go off.  I love how the different colors on the NATURE shows up.

Here is a close up of the flowers and the letters.

Here is the other side of the wreath so you can see it better.  So sad the shimmer is not showing up, but it is there.

What have YOU made for your home with Stampin' Up! supplies?

Thanks for stopping by.  Won't you leave me a comment?  I would love to hear from you.
