<br />
Hello,<br />
<br />
Today's card is made using The Greetery's pinwheel party stencil, Papertrey's big basic: merry Christmas die, doodlebug design sprinkles and glitter paper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aGGnIoDOl2g/XvNTUbZa1bI/AAAAAAAAy9E/o8HHDRDyzN4fsB2e4CFSeFKVR9KY0hzHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200623_141754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="858" data-original-width="981" height="558" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aGGnIoDOl2g/XvNTUbZa1bI/AAAAAAAAy9E/o8HHDRDyzN4fsB2e4CFSeFKVR9KY0hzHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200623_141754.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I did the inlaid technique with the merry Christmas die after stenciling the pinwheels. I really like the look of this! These pinwheels are such a joy to make and so easy! I hope Betsy does more of these types of stencils.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OCQKIJ3ID0w/XvNTYLk9zCI/AAAAAAAAy9I/Dbwu-UjX1A0UDusLI4woyLa-gcv6m4VkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200623_142117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1094" height="530" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OCQKIJ3ID0w/XvNTYLk9zCI/AAAAAAAAy9I/Dbwu-UjX1A0UDusLI4woyLa-gcv6m4VkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200623_142117.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The ink colors I chose to use was berry sorbet, pure poppy, mint julep and new leaf. The glitter paper is gold and so are the sprinkles.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Today's card uses the stamp set Home Made, Love Lives Here and the Coverplate: Hearts Die, all from Papertrey Ink. I think the hardest part of making this card is lining everything up and although it is still not perfect I am happy with it:)<br />
<br />
Below you can see that I glittered the red door, the green polka dotted curtains and the outdoor lights. Since the sentiment said hang your heart I thought I would place one on the front of the door.<br />

<br />
<br />
For my project today, I created 4 cards using the same layout and technique on each one.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8hKLfKoOPc/XqBfTfe2DSI/AAAAAAAAw-Q/MgQGRQYtT70ewjDqpBxAGgsq1_mmjYllgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200405_103957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="995" height="538" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8hKLfKoOPc/XqBfTfe2DSI/AAAAAAAAw-Q/MgQGRQYtT70ewjDqpBxAGgsq1_mmjYllgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200405_103957.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I started with the crimped frame die and the frosted flakes stencil from The Greetery.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_LLygoKUFk/XqBfWUEsjTI/AAAAAAAAw-U/c-DQ_MTKq8AxUgrveIe1k-AGFVWjWDfFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200405_103948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="771" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_LLygoKUFk/XqBfWUEsjTI/AAAAAAAAw-U/c-DQ_MTKq8AxUgrveIe1k-AGFVWjWDfFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20200405_103948.jpg" width="588" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Next using the Amaryllis stamp and die from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment is embossed and is also included in this set. This set of cards are pretty simple and straight forward to make, but if you have any questions please let me know.<br />
<br />
<br />

For my project today I made 4 cards using the stamps and dies from The Greetery. First off I used the frosty flakes stencil with pure poppy ink on white cardstock for the background. I used winter sketches stamp and die to form a wreath. At the end of this post I have some pictures and will show you how I made the wreath. Next I die cut two fit to be tied bows and glued them together for some depth. I used white cardstock for the bows and 2 of them are brushed with aqua mist ink and the other two are brushed with raspberry fizz ink. All the sentiments are embossed and are from the with love at Christmas stamp set. Also on each of the bows I placed a single clear sequins.<br />

On the card below, the background is brushed with aqua mist ink and splattered with white paint. The other two cards I did the same background technique but I cut them in half and joined the opposite ones together.<br />

Above, I die cut 9 (I am going to call them bud pieces) bud pieces and stamped them using cocoa bean, new leaf, pure poppy and raspberry fizz ink. Then I took one of them and taped the next one to it lining them up in the same pattern/direction for each of them to form the circle. Below you can see one of them that I turned over and taped.<br />
