I created a simple Holiday project using a few supplies from WPlus9, I had this idea for about a month now and finally managed to find some free time to execute it.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
I started working on this card by stamping a wreath from the Fresh Cut Wreath set using WPlus9 Last Leaf ink onto light gray paper. You don’t really need to stamp the wreath if you want to replicate this card, you can simply draw a circle using a pencil, but I went ahead and stamped it for some added greenery in the background.
I used images from the Be Merry Florals set and stamped flowers and leaves using Gala Red and Appletini inks, cut those out and foam mounted onto my panel. I also stamped and colored a house from the Holiday Houses set; cut it out and foam mounted onto the card. Lastly, I stamped Be Merry using black ink.
I adhered my panel onto an A2 top folding card base, added Star Dust glitter to the hedges and the roof of my house and finished my project by adding a few white dots using a white gel pen.

What a cute, festive card for the holidays. The star dust glitter really give a great effect.
What a darling card! I love everything about it.
So much fun! I love the extra dimension of “pre-stamping” the green wreath base layer. It’s subtle, and I almost missed it! Thanks for describing your process–that is one of the things that really helps me as a fairly new card crafter!
Pretty card, Yana! The star dust glitter is a sweet touch!
As always, this is gorgeous Yana! I really love the coloring on the house. So rich and vibrant!
Your card is simply wonderful Yana! I love everything about it, especially the traditional colourscheme.
Wonderful card… I just love little houses on cards! Cheers.
Glittery and perfect card! Merry Christmas to you too!
Love your darling card!!!
This is so pretty!
What a cute card design – stamping the wreath first really makes a difference, too!
Very pretty and Christmas-y. I love that wreath.
Pretty card and a great stamp set. I like the star dust glitter you added, it makes it look like snow.
