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.
