Peace, Love and Joy
We've made it to the end of another week...I won't shock you by mentioning how many weeks until Christmas. Let's just say it's time to start your cards if you haven't yet. Fear not...we will be posting many holiday cards right here for your creative inspiration. That said, I bring you glitter and sparkle with this snowflake wreath...
- Frostyville Wreath Die #98418
- Leaping Deer Die #98390
- Peace, Love and Joy B1114
- Sapphire Notecards 33040
- Twinkle Shimmer Card Stock
Materials:
- Silver micro fine glitter
- Be Creative tape sheet
- Clear domes and white pearls
- Design Adhesive glue
- Foam squares
- ribbon
Directions:
- Cover white cardstock (4" x 5") with double sided tape sheet. Die cut wreath on cardstock side (it's harder to cut on the release paper side).
- Peel away release paper, sprinkle silver glitter on sticky side of die cut wreath and press glitter into tape for a strong hold.
- Make sure to punch out any tiny pieces of the design that may have remained.
- Carefully apply wet glue (use fine tip bottle) to reverse side of glittered wreath and position on navy panel (4" x 5 1/8"),
- Apply pearls and clear stones to wreath.
- Die cut Leaping Deer from twinkle cardstock. Tie ribbon scarf and adhere with dot of white glue. Hold in place until dry and secure. Attach foam squares to back of deer for elevation and position in center of wreath.
- Stamp sentiment then layer with red card stock. Use foam squares for elevation.
- Repeat above steps until you've made enough for all your friends and family (snicker).
I particularly like the look of sparkly glitter and don't mind the side effects (glitter on my face, clothes, floor and always, always on the dogs---they like to hang out near me when I craft--can you relate?).
Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. ~Peg Bracken
Happy Friday!
That's gorgeous...Love the red, black, silver combo!

Not a fan of dies as unfortunately I find many of them difficult to use, but LOVE this card.
