4 Lovely Autumn Wreath Cards using Gina K. Designs Autumn Wreath Builder

Hello! Hope you're having a great day! The cards I'm sharing today I made using the Gina K. Designs Autumn Wreath Builder clear stamp set and stencil. I did a post awhile back using this stamp set (visit THIS blog post), but now that it's actually autumn, I feel more in the mood to make autumn-y things!  Here are four cards I created using slightly different designs on each. Wouldn't they make the cutest card set?



These four cards came about after I created one wreath, and I liked the design so much that I just had to repeat it! The ink I used are all Stampin' Up! ink colors, swapping a few colors in and out for different cards.


Tonic Nuvo Drops in various colors look gorgeous with this stamp set - they look like little berries in the wreath! I just grabbed a few colors and started adding drops here and there. They are the perfect accent to these wreaths!


And sequins! Of course sequins! I added small gold sequins into this wreath, and, like many card makers I've seen, I always add a drop of Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops to the middle of each sequin after adhering it to the card. Not only does it add a little more shine and interest to the card, but it also provides a little more insurance that the sequin will stay put!


I saw a wreath building video by Jennifer McGuire where she cut out the wreath, and I decided to try it with this one. Using my EK Success Cutter Bee Precision scissors (I love using these for fussy cutting), I cut along the outside of the design, leaving a thin white border. Instead of fussy cutting out the middle of the wreath, I decided to use a circle die instead.


I like how in this picture you can see how I overlapped many of the images. Why stamp an image if you're just going to cover most of it up? Well, just the little bit that pops out really adds to the overall effect and interest of the wreath. So don't be afraid to let your images overlap each other!
