Seasonal Wreath Happiness Cards

I participated in several Holiday Catalog swaps last month and collected some beautiful sample cards! Today's cards come to us courtesy of a swap card by Dawn Olchefske. It features the pretty NEW Seasonal Wreath embossing folder that is easy to overlook in the Annual Catalog. I loved Dawn's card so much that I "had" to purchase the folder and try it out myself!

Swap card created by Dawn Olchefske at DOStamping.com.

Background Basics—Dawn's swap card begins with a Soft Suede vertically-folded card base. She embossed a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Suede with the Seasonal Wreath Texture Impressions Folder, then adhered it to the card front.

She added a 4" x 1-1/4" strip of Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper along the bottom, then tied the beautiful Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon around the card front. Ooohh, I love the gorgeous copper shimmer on that ribbon!

Sweet Sentiment—Dawn stamped the Peaceful Noel sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I love the little holly accent! She inked up the leaf, stamped off once, then stamped both leaves without re-inking. The berries are added in Cherry Cobbler. The greeting and Crumb Cake mat was die-cut using the Frosted Bouquet Framelits! It's popped up over the ribbon with Dimensionals.

Two Cool—I loved Dawn's card design so much that I decided to create a second version for my Last Thursdays card class. The card base and embossed background layer are in Tranquil Tide this time.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the same greeting, but instead of holly leaves, I stamped pine needles. I stamped off twice to keep the images light enough to read the greeting. The stamped image matches the DSP so well! I finished by layering the greeting onto a Soft Suede mat.
