Good Saturday morning. I have a clean and simple wreath card to share with you today made using the Impression Obsession Pine Sprig Cluster set. I have a funny secret to share with you. I love how delicate the pine sprigs are so much that I ordered three additional die sets so I can cut out four sets at a time for when I need multiple pieces for projects like this wreath.
I punched out a 1 3/4” circle, cut in to the center, cut out the center to create my wreath ring and attached the ends together with glossy accents.
I attached the pine sprigs around the ring, alternating them by attaching the center sprig, then the left and then right all the way around. Alternating the sprigs helps create a balanced and pretty wreath.
I cut two strips of foil for the ribbon streamers and hand cut the ends with my snips. I attached them to the back of the wreath with glue dots.
I cut and scored the background layer, attached strips of gold foil on each side and attached it on the card base with mounting tape.
I finished by attaching the wreath to the card base with glossy accents. Although my favorite Christmas colors are red and green I really love how festive and pretty this turned out.
Thanks for stopping and I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.
Gorgeous Kittie...so elegant...you are a stitch...now having (4) of those dies. But hey...a great idea. :-) With all that you make you certainly need multiples.

Hi Kittie! Just wanted to tell you how amazing your CHRISTmas creations have been this year. Just beautiful. I even started a separate board on Pinterest called "Kittie Kreations" to put all your wonderful projects in! Have a great holiday season.

I have just discovered your blog yesterday when googling Martha Stewart branch punch. Your work is amazing and has inspired me so much. Beautiful creations, what white paper do you use? Is there anyone type that is you favorite. It looks so creamy white and takes ink well. I can't wait to finish looking thru you blog, so far on posts from Aug 2013.

Another beautiful project and a good chuckle to go with! I've unintentionally had twins a few times, but never quadruplets ;)

Quite stunning! The scored lines really add to the elegance of the card.

This wreath is beautiful. Yes, there are some dies that I would like multiples of, so that I can cut many die cuts from in one go. It sounds like a necessity to me.
