Leaf Wreath Card with Stampin' Up "Gather Together" Suite Bundle
Since I had the pleasure of some uninterrupted time in my craft room this past weekend, I perused through some old cardmaking magazines and found a card sample of a fall wreath made of die-cut leaves, which I thought I'd scraplift, again with items from the Gather Together Suite Bundle (#153484 in the 2019 Holiday Catalog):
After making previous cards with this bundle, I used cardstock scraps and other cut pieces to make this square card:
To begin this project, I used scrap cardstock in Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Early Expresso, and Merry Merlot and cut several leaves from the three solid leaf dies in the Gathered Leaves die set (approximately 25).
Next, I used two nesting circle dies from a Spellbinders set I have to make a circle about 1/2" wide in Crumb Cake cardstock as the wreath base.
Then I spent time laying out the leaves in three layers to see how to best arrange them by color on the circle base. Once I had it as I wanted, I glued the largest leaves on the bottom, medium-sized in a second layer, and the small leaves for the top layer.
With small seed beads from my stash, I used glue dots to adhere them sporadically around the wreath and added the twine bow. The sentiment was stamped with Early Expresso ink on Very Vanilla, die-cut with one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, with everything glued on the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper (5-3/8" x 5-3/8") adhered to a Merry Merlot card base (folded 5-1/2"x 11" cardstock).
This card was more time consuming, but it was a good challenge to get me out of my comfort zone.
