How to Make a Perfect Wreath on Your Card
September 08, 2020
Today I'll show you How to Make a Perfect Wreath on Your Card! We'll use the maple leaf stamp & punch from Beautiful Autumn Bundle for this card. That tiny maple leaf is just gorgeous--it's inspiring me to make several cards just because I love that punch & want to see what else I can do with it. It punches the foils beautifully too--no scratching or snags--just nice clean intricate cuts.
Here's today's card...
How do you get that perfectly round shaped wreath? I used one of the Layering Circle dies & traced a circle inside the die--this lays down the perfect pattern to follow when adhering the leaves. It's so very easy to get that perfect shape.
You can change the color of the leaves & create your wreath for any color scheme or season--these cute little leaves are just perfect for any season.
