Wondrous Wreath Cardmaking Class Make from Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday crafters.

I am so in love with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set. I just love the layered stamping. I find it relaxing. And I love all the different effects you can get simply through layering different colours.

I've seen these floating style cards a lot in crafting magazines and online and thought the wreath would make a perfect centre piece to hold the layers together.

I started with a Garden Green card base and covered my two sections with strips of patterned paper from the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack.

I created the centre piece by stamping Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler to create the leaves, bow and berries. I then cut the wreath and bow with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. I used the Framelits again with Champagne Glimmer Paper to cut the 'joy' which I then glued with Tombow on to my wreath.

Simply Created Halloween Frightful Wreath Kit from Stampin' Up!

Good afternoon crafters.

It is a wet and windy Thursday here on the Isle of Wight so I took the opportunity (with a little help from my stamping buddy Summer) to make my Frightful Wreath kit into the completed project. The picture above shows it completed and added to my little Halloween corner in our lounge. I was determined to get this wreath made ready in time for Halloween. Plus, once you've put so much effort in to creating something you want to enjoy it for the for as long as possible. So now I can have my wreath and lovely scented candles for the whole of the rest of the month.

Here is a close up on the centre of the wreath:

When it came to stamping the banner I didn't have the matching Frightful Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set, so instead I created my own greeting using the Skinny Mini Photopolymer Alphabet and the Halloween accessories from the Holiday Home Stamp  Set (bats and pumpkin).

And here is my favourite part to make, the beaded spider. This was surprisingly simple to create with clear instructions on how to wrap the wire to create these effective purple and silver legs.

You still have plenty of time to order your Frightful Wreath in time for Halloween. With a glue gun ready to go this wreath took about an hour to make from beginning to end. It was a fab, quick and easy make. You can order your wreath direct through my online store by clicking here or by clicking the product picture below.

My Burlap and Blooms Wreath from Stampin' Up!

My Mum & Dad have just moved house and I was pondering on a gift I could make for them to brighten the new space and start making the place their own. I surfed Pinterest for some ideas with no luck when all of a sudden I remembered I had purchased the fantastic Burlap and Blooms Wreath Kit from the Spring Summer Catalogue. I knew this would make a perfect New Home gift. So I plugged in my hot glue gun and set about creating the wreath.

Sometimes I just want the simplicity and ease of a kit. I love how everything is ready and waiting to go. All the pieces are there. You just have to assemble and stick. Perfect! So I stuck on the last few weeks Nashville episodes on 4OD and I was away.

I'd say it took about 2 hours or so to complete in total but I loved every step of the process from wrapping the burlap to creating the individual flowers to assembling the finished product. 

Here are the full kit details. I love that you get all of this for £15.95. If you purchased a completed project in the shops it would cost considerably more and without the satisfaction of knowing you made it yourself.

Here are some closer pictures of all the different layers and textures that make up the floral elements.

My favourite flowers to create were the fringed wrapped flowers. I am going to have a go at something similar with my Fringe Scissors. That way I can create fringed flowers to match any project with any colour DSP.

I finished my wreath by tying a length of Natural Chevron Ribbon (not included in the kit) around the hanging Burlap loop. I liked the added dimension of the Chevron Ribbon.

All the elements that you see in this picture from the flower components to the buttons to linen thread are all included with the kit. All you need is some strong adhesive (I would recommend a glue gun for ease) to piece together the flowers and adhere to your burlap wrapped wreath.

If you haven't ordered your Burlap and Bloom wreath yet, you only have until June 30th to order one before the kit is retired for good. It is such a fun investment for £15.95.  You can order yours direct through my online store or drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'd be happy to place an order for you.
