STAMPIN’ UP! SWEET CANDY CANE WREATH CARD - Bonnie Lenke, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Sweet Candy Cane Wreath Card & Video

Sweet Candy Cane Wreath Card

Today I’m sharing a twist to the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set. For this card I used the Candy Canes mistletoe die to make the wreath. It was just the right size to form many of them into a circle. To make sure I kept my Wreath round I used one cut with the Stylish Shaped Dies on the card front. The Red & Evergreen Glitter Papers that are available in two different paper sets were perfect for this card. I hope you enjoy it and will think about making one yourself. Even if you don’t have this die set you could use pine branches or any other small leaf die. The possibilities are endless…

Let’s Get Started

Fold your Garden Green Card Base in half on the score line and burnish with bone folder.
Using the second largest Stitched Circle from the Stylish Shaped Dies cut one out of the middle of the White Cardstock panel that goes on the card front (see picture below for placement). After cutting out the circle adhere the white panel to the Card Front.
Adhere your Sweetest Christmas DSP to the Card Front (this will cover the hole in the white cardstock).
With Liquid Glue or Seal, secure your Stitched White Circle to the middle of your Card Front.
You will need to cut approximately 7 or 8 mistletoe out of each the Real Red Glimmer Paper and the Evergreen Glimmer Paper. Once you have cut them out start adhering them around the circle with one or two glue dots (the top will cover the end of the one before it. I suggest starting at the side where the banner will cover the first one. Alternate colors until you have completed the circle. It may help if you lay them out around the circle for practice before you start adhering them.
Stamp your Banner from the Christmas Banner stamp set in Real Red Ink using the Stamparatus if you have one. Now place your word stamps in the Banner you just stamped, arranging the angle to fit as needed and close the Stamparatus lid to pick up the stamps. Stamp in Garden Green Ink. Cut out the Banner with the corresponding Christmas Banner Die. Adhere over the wreath using Dimensionals.
Tie a Bow with the Real Red Ribbon and attach a Jingle Bell Trinket to it using a piece of twine. Attached ribbon to wreath with a Glue Dot.
For the inside of card stamp your Greeting in Real Red Ink on White Cardstock. Stamp the Mistletoe in opposite corners with Garden Green Ink. Adhere to inside of card.
To finish the Envelope stamp 3 mistletoes on the envelope flap and one on the bottom left corner in Garden Green Ink.

Placement for circle die on white front cardstock

And now you have a beautiful card to brighten someone’s day.

Happy Stamping!
