Feeling Blessed Friendship Card & 3D Picture

My project today was one I had in mind for quite some time.  I found a home decor project on Pinterest and decided I would try to turn it into a paper craft project.  The idea sat on my computer desktop for a few months and then I came across a brand new challenge that my fellow Pal member, Debbie Mageed started.  So the time was perfect to see if my idea would work.  I think it did!

First, here’s the inspiration for the project…

Now here’s my paper crafting interpretation…

Picture Details

• For the frame, I cut my Crumb Cake card stock at 10″ x 10″ and then followed Debbie’s tutorial HERE.
• NOTE:  before adhering the sides of the frame, I inserted a piece of 6″ x 6″ piece of woodgrain patterned paper in the center.
• Once the frame was complete, I created the wreath using the Wreath Builder dies.  I’ve used these dies so much it’s a wonder they’re still in one piece!
• I cut 6 wreaths in a variety of greens: Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam and layered them together.  This gave it a lot of dimension.
• I then used a piece of retired braided trim to create a hanger.  I put some Tear & Tape on the inside of the trim so it would stay flush on the wreath.  I also added a strip of Tear & Tape to the back of the trim and adhered the wreath to the center of the frame.  I made sure that the trim was long enough to tuck underneath the frame.
• Lastly, I stamped the “Blessed” sentiment from To a Wild Rose stamp set and cut it out.  I also cut a black mat to make the sentiment pop.  I used the Brother Scan n’ Cut for this but it could just as easily be hand cut. This is glued onto the center of the wreath.

Since I was pleased with the way this turned out, I decided why not make a coordinating card and create a pretty gift set.

Card Details

• The A2 card base is Thick Whisper White card stock with a top fold.
• The next panel is Crumb Cake card stock measuring 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″.
• The woodgrain patterned paper measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.
• I recreated the same wreath using three layers:  Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive & Soft Sea Foam.
• I finished the card front by heat embossing another sentiment from To a Wild Rose on Basic Black card stock and added it to the bottom of the card.

• Another sentiment from the same stamp set is stamped inside.

I loved creating this project and will be entering it into the Creative Creases Challenge.

As always, thanks very much for spending some time here with me today.  I hope you’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

Take care,

Rosanne
