Create a joyful holiday wreath card with holly, pine boughs and poinsettias for the special people on your family and friends list.
Today’s festive holiday design is from Kittie, who makes our die cuts shine! Kittie said, “There is nothing more that I love than adding a wreath to my cards. This all red and green color combination really pops against the all white background. For this project I used the Brass and Bliss Joy Vertical and Horizontal, Decorative Floral Circle, Pine Bough, Build a Bloom Poinsettia #4, Wreath Set (wreath base) and Holly #1.” This design is so classy and we just adore how she used each element. Follow along as Kittie gives us the steps to make a joyful holiday wreath card with elegant flourishes.
Build the Wreath
- Cut the round wreath base and several sections of foliage using green cardstock.
- Begin attaching the pine boughs to the base using glossy accents (or your favorite glue).
- Alternate the direction of each bough to create a natural arrangement. Pro Tip: I start with one straight, one overlapping to the right and one to the right. This process is time consuming but not difficult at all.
- Mold the holly leaves with your fingers to add a touch of dimension.
- Attach tiny red circles to the holly branches.
- Use glossy accents to attach the holly branches to the pone boughs.
Finish the Card
- Cut the decorative layer and attach it to the card base with pieces of mounting tape.
- Attach three tiny poinsettias to the wreath using glossy accents.
- Apply a generous amount of glossy accents to the back of the holiday wreath and attach it to the decorative layer.
- Cut the horizontal joy sections, attach them together and attach them to the card base using a piece of mounting tape.
