Create a Spring Wreath Card

After I made the Bunny Treat Holders for OnStage, I thought they looked somewhat plain but cute. I considered adding some flowers inside the circle, but I decided to leave them as is. However, I had an idea to create an arrangement around the circle instead. You know I love a wreath!

Since I accidentally stamped an extra Hello Spring circle and didn't want it to go waste, I decided to stamp a Soft Suede bunny above the greeting and add a scalloped circle behind it just to see what it looked like.

Happy with the bunny embellishment, I started to work on the wreath. I tested my wreath shape on a piece of scrap cardstock to make sure the leaf stamp would make a circular wreath.

To ensure I stamped a circle, I traced the scalloped circle die cut with a pencil on a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Whisper White cardstock where I wanted the wreath to be. Then I proceeded to stamp the leaf stamp around the scalloped circle outline. Once I was satisfied with the wreath, I erased the pencil lines.

On the inside, I stamped some of the flowers and circle images using the same color ink pads as on the card front. I am really pleased with how this card and the wreath turned out.

Have you used the Hello Easter stamp set to make a wreath? I would love to see what you create.

Getting Ready for OnStage

I am packing my bags for OnStage this weekend. I cannot wait! I am so excited I don't think I will sleep a wink before Saturday morning! The OnStage convention is a great way for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to meet new demonstrators, learn techniques, make a few projects, swap cards, and see the new catalog products. It is an event I look forward to with great anticipation.

I have still have some Easter candy left, so I thought I would make a cute treat holder to share at OnStage. I created something quick, simple, and cute to hand out to the other demonstrators attending OnStage.

The base is made from the Starburst Punch (Item #143717) and a 2" Circle Punch (Item #133782). I stamped Hello Spring on the bottom of the circle, attached it to the Starburst, and adhered a foil-wrapped chocolate bunny to the front. I used a variety of cardstock colors and ink pads, but you could use one or two.

I am bringing my duplicate cards from the classes that I have held this year as my swap cards. I love card swaps because I enjoy seeing what other people create and their creative process. It also is nice to see stamps that I don't have, meet new people, and refresh my own creativity.

At this OnStage the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog will be revealed to demonstrators only. That way we can get ready to show and share all of the fabulous new stamp sets, ribbons, Designer Series Paper with you. Best of all, this is the time of year the new In Colors will be revealed.

Once we have the go ahead to share with you, I will, for sure. In addition, I will have the goodie bags, stamp sets, the card swaps that I receive, and, hopefully, what I will order at my FREE Stamparatus Class on Wednesday, April 11th at 6pm. So, you can see them first hand in person. Woohoo!

Want to see all of the excitement of OnStage? Do you want to attend the next OnStage convention in November in Orlando, Florida? I would love to have you join my demonstrator team. Contact me today or visit my online store to join.

Thanks for stopping by!
