Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Tree Punch Wreath!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Tree Punch Wreath!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by a sample on page 3o of the Holiday Catalog, right beside the Merry Medley stamp set! I modified to make it easier to create multiples by switching from the Pretty Pines Thinlets to the Tree Builder Punch to make the wreath.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_wreath_carolpaynestamps1

I think it took 12 Pear Pizzazz punched trees to create the wreath.  I shortened the trunks with my snips and adhered with glue dots.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_wreath_carolpaynestamps2

The Cherry Cobbler bow was made with the Bow Builder Punch. The Cherry Cobbler flowers were also punched with the Tree Builder and added with glue dots. A rhinestone adorns the center of each flower.

"Sent with love" is a tiny sentiment found in Stitched With Cheer (pg 34). I cut it with a tiny tag framelit from the Perfect Pines Framelits. I tied it to the wreath with Cherry Cobbler twine from the Baker's Twine Trio Pack.

Merry Medley was stamped with Whisper White Craft ink on the Basic Black background layer.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_wreath_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped another Stitched With Cheer sentiment.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_wreath_carolpaynestamps4

I used the Tree Builder punch to create a look of holly.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_wreath_carolpaynestamps5

I finished off the inside corner with a Pear Pizzazz tree cut with two of the Perfect Pines Framelits.

I have one more Merry Medley card to share with you tomorrow!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Lovely As A Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Lovely As A Tree!

Hey there! Stampin' Up! really hit it out of the ballpark  with the Holiday Catalog!

A must have for me was the Merry Medley background. So many words on one stamp is not only a great value, but I looove the graphic look!

142148G

I chose to use Lovely As a Tree as my focal image:

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps1-1

I stamped the tree on the Crumb Cake layer with Always Artichoke ink, then stamped it again on scrap paper and cut it out to create a mask. I covered the stamped tree with the cut out mask before stamping over it with Merry Medley and White Craft ink.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps2

For the greeting banner I stamped "Christmas Blessings" from Christmas Pines with Cherry Cobbler ink on a strip of Very Vanilla, then cut it out with the banner die in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets. The teeny-tiny holly is also from Christmas Pines. I hand-cut it out and mounted it with a snippet of a Stampin' Dimensional.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps3

The inside greeting is also from Christmas Pines. I originally bought this set because it coordinated in a bundle with the Pretty Pines thinlets, but I think I will be using it a lot more for the sentiments!

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps4

You can now order your own Merry Medley and Christmas Pines stamps to create your own graphic Christmas card! Just go to my online store to shop: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
