Another Christmas wreath

After making the card in my last post I decided to play around with my punches. This card is what I came up with.

Again I started with a 6x" square card blank, added a kraft card front leaving a small white edge, some faux stitching. Leaves built up a wreath and some snowflakes added to embelish, each one with a small pearl centre. Punched border strip again on bottom with a strip of ribbon attached. Happy Chirstmas stamped in centre of wreath, not sure what the stamp is a sit was one of many I got in a box full from the charity shop.

It looks better in 'real life' lol not happy with these pics!

Thanks for looking! Feel free to leave me any comments you wish about my cards, or just to let me know you have been here, I can then come and visit you!

Christmas Two Step bird

Good evening!

Had a couple of busy days at work as I am not in again until next Wednesday now but have been dying to post this card as I am so chuffed with it.

I do love my Stampin up two step bird punch and want to try and use it for all kinds of cards. I noticed a lovely card whilst blog hoping a while back and decided this week to make something similar you can find the original here - http://annscreativemoments.com/ . Ann if you see this thanks for being the inspiration for this card and for having so much more inspiration in your blog, I hope you don't mind me recreating this!!

I have a close up of the wreath with the bird on too.

I started with a square 6x6" blank card, drew a very faint pencil circle in the centre (I drew around the lid of a small storage jar). Punched lots of leaves with the two step punch, I punched these from a piece of stripe green MME paper from bloom and grow stack. Punched a bird from Kraft card, and some very small red circles. Built up a wreath with the leaves, gluing them around the circle. Sat the bird in the leaves, added the red dots as berries and a red spotty ribbon. Punched borders added to the bottom of the card.

I am not adding a sentiment to this one as I like it as it is.

Thanks for looking!
