Arrange a Wreath & August CD Calendar

I lost my stamping mojo for awhile but over the past several days seem to have gotten it back. Yea!  I have been in the stamp room making cards and planning on an upcoming event for my downline and customers. I don’t have all of those details worked out yet but it will definitely be done with all of the safety precautions in place. More on that later. Yesterday I played again with Arrange a Wreath stamp set. I had posted a card previously using that set. If you missed it you can see it here.

This set is so versatile with stamps and sentiments for several different occasions. The dies come with two different large wreaths which I used on the card below. Once cut out I weaved the leaves in among the sprigs. The background is embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings and punched out using the new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch Pack.

The inside:

For the inside sentiment I used the So Sentimental stamp set and coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies adding a circle cut using the Stitched Shapes dies and a few die cut leaves.

I created this envelope using the new Envelope dies that coordinate with Ornamental Envelopes stamp set. This die cuts out the design and then you just add paper behind it. Pretty cool.

Now on to the CD Calendar for August.

Free as a Bird is one of my favorite stamp sets. I colored it using Blends and just outlining it with the Balmy Blue Blend marker gave the illusion of sky. I am getting ready to start designing the calendar for 2021. I think we will all be glad to get this year behind us. It’s been pretty scary.

Thanks for stopping by and be safe.
