One of my favorite bundles in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog is the Daisy Delight Bundle. Not only is this an adorable, versatile bundle, but it is also one of my favorites because it reminds me of my grandmother. Her nickname was Daisy because she was always fresh as a daisy. She enjoyed getting ready and dressed up for all kinds of occasions and parties.
I created this wreath for my catalog launch party in the summer. Wreaths are a huge part of the decor in my home. They add a lot of
color, texture, and dimension. I also like that they convey the time of
the year. Don't tell my husband,
but I think I have about fifteen wreaths that I rotate throughout the
seasons. Mums the word!
I
think of my grandmother whenever I plan my catalog launch parties and
luncheons. She would have loved a good menu planing, decorating the
house, and spending time with her guests!
What better way to honor and to remember her than with a daisy wreath that I can see each day.
The base is a grape vine wreath from a local craft store. My wreath
came with a lot of dried grape leaves intertwined with the vines. I had
bits of leaves falling everywhere when I brought it home, so I went
outside and removed as many of the leaves as I could by hand and with a
chop stick.
I chose a grape vine as the base because I like the texture and it reminds me of my grandfather. He used to have an enormous garden in their backyard that included grapes. He would make his own grape vine wreaths from his own grape vines after the harvest season.
To maximum each sheet of cardstock, I tried to fit as many stamped daisies as I could on each sheet of cardstock. One 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock can fit 12 stamped daisies. I first stamped the top row. Then I stamped the bottom row. Lastly, I stamped the center row.
The daisies are attached using a low temperature glue gun.
The color palette is summery yet transitional to fall. The flowers are made with Whisper White, Crushed Curry, and Crumb Cake cardstock. The centers are Gold Faceted Gems, Early Espresso ink on Whisper White cardstock, Early Espresso ink on Soft Suede cardstock, or Daffodil Delight ink sponged in the daisy's center.
This wreath came together in about an hour. This would be a great afternoon project to spruce up any space. I think this wreath would look amazing in purples, oranges, and reds for a late autumn look or even pastels for Easter. I hung my wreath with a removable hook, but you could hang it with a wide ribbon and a bow. The burlap ribbon would be gorgeous or even the navy gingham ribbon!
I hope you give this sweet daisy wreath a try. How would you decorate your wreath? I would love to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping by!
