Papertrey September Blog Hop - take 2

I wanted to use the accompanying dies for the Birds and Blooms stamp set. I originally set out to make a paperclay wreath but that did not go well! So I decided to glue two layers of vintage cream cardstock die cut wreaths for the ornament.

The wreath was stamped perfectly the first time onto the die cut. I've been keeping the surrounding cardstock after die cutting placing the die cut piece back in and then stamping - it's really helped. The ribbon and bell is from the chocolate Father Christmas my children are lucky enough to enjoy as a Christmas present from a relative each year. They love that chocolate and the ribbon is so pretty I've ended up collecting them as decorations; this was super handy as it finishes the wreath beautifully.

Thanks for any kind comments.

  3. Beautiful design! Great tip about the ribbon and bell--I think I've seen Lindt Easter rabbits decorated the same way. I'll be keeping them this year!!
