A Little Bit Festive Blue Wreath PP716

by Joanne James17. November 2024 08:00

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Jaydee to host this week and she has a seasonal clean and simple challenge for us to work with:

    

With only 37 days to go until the big day, it certainly should be feeling a lot like Christmas about now! I used the sketch over at Sunday Stamps for the layout of my card this week and grabbed my A Little Bit Festive paper pack and set to work. Take a look at what I came up with:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I added a Night of Navy panel to my white cardbase, then added a strip of navy and white gingham and a co-ordinating diecut wreath. A diecut sentiment from the Joyful Sayings pack and a few gold enamel dots and a gold twine bow to pick up on the gold splatters on the wreath complete my card:

Adding a colourful wreath to my front door is one of the first things I do at the start of the festive season and I think this card captures the spirit of the season perfectly. No stamping on today's card either, apart from the sentiment inside my card. Clean and simple, quick and easy - so I'm linking up over at The Alphabet Challenge Blog where they are on 'Q for Quick and Easy' too. 

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my Product and 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.

Joanne, I just love the blue and green color combo for your festive Christmas card.  The checked panel makes the gorgeous wreath pop!  CAS Perfection!   Have a great week, My Friend!

A navy and white/silver Christmas is always stylish, I think. The DSP really works with that wreath. Once again you leave me regretting my decision not to buy this Little Bit Festive pack. Smile

I am crazy about wreaths, both on cards and IRL, and yours is a beauty,  Joanne! Isn't great when there's little to no stamping, it makes creating something beautiful like your card a snap. Love this!

Oh my gosh, Joanne! This die cut wreath is gorgeous against this blue gingham paper. What a fabulous quick and easy card. I LOVE it. Why, oh why, did I not buy this ephemora pack! Have a wonderful weekend!

Joanne, I love that you went with non-traditional colors.  The strip of gingham works beautifully against the background and the pop of green from the wreath is fabulous against that background.  I love it!  Thanks for rocking my challenge this week
hugs
