Well I told you that once the new catalog came out that I would have some inspiration to the max for you – I also told you that I was making a bunch of square cards and today I have a special one for you (well I think that it is special)
I think that this bundle, the Wonderous Wreath is going to a HUGE HIT…just think about it – you can change the colors out to make it work for all 4 season!
Today I am showing you a “Fall” themed card. Hands down, Fall is my very favorite time of the year and I am hoping that we will have a great Fall filled with crisp and cool evenings…the beautiful colors of the leaves…soft and chewy ginger cookies and hot apple cider….I just love Fall!
Ok – I will hop off memory lane…it’s a great lane but I know that you are wanting to hear about the scoop of today’s card!
- The base is a 4 ½” square card in Very Vanilla and then the accent colors I used were Tangerine Tango and my go-to neutral, soft suede!
- Let’s get back to this great stamp set/bundle. It is a photopolymer which makes it SUPER EASY to stamp as you can see right through the image! The colors I used were Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede.
- The wreath was a cinch to pop out with the matching framelits but below in the photos you can see how I also used other framelits (or you could use other circlualr framelits or a punch)
TIP ALERT: I cut through both the Soft Suede and the Tangerine Tango to maximize the effect of a wreath – it was super easy and I think that the end result shows it!
- You can see that the Soft Suede piece, I cut out the center and then I ran it through the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder, (I am sorry, I know I use this a bunch but I simply cannot get enough of it!)
- Lifting up the layered piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals did the trick, those little gems never let us down.
- The sentiment came from the For All Things Stamp Set! I snipped it into a banner with my paper snips…quick – DONE!
- Let’s talk about the super simple yet effective of the “bow” – we all know that I am bow challenged but this worked…”just fine” for me! I used the Baked Brown Sugar Bakers Twine and then also used a piece of the gold bakers twine and I “pulled” out the gold part…BAM – LOVE IT! I used a simple mini glue dot to hold it into place!
- Envelope time…since I needed to make my own envelope, I decided to go different, soft suede and I will use a white pen to address it! HOW FUN! The back flap I used a scrap of embossed very vanilla but look at the front!
- A simple scrap that is 1” wide and with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig…let the fun begin!
I know that this stamp set/bundle is going to be a “Out of the Ballpark item” and I am excited to share with you in the future more samples! I hope that this post made you excited for Fall and also the possibilities of this stamp set.
I am sure that you have been having FUN going through this new catalog…so much to take in, I must admit that I still go through it and still see more!
The weekend is here and I hope that you have a great weekend ahead – it is the holiday of Labor Day which means in many areas, the end of the summer season and the beginning of school!

Fall is my favorite time of the year as well and I absolutely LOVE this card!!!! When I saw this set, all I thought of was Christmas but your suggestion that it could be used for ALL seasons opened up a whole list of possibilities for me. I also love wreaths. Thank you for your blog and all of your wonderful ideas. I drop in daily.

Oh how I love this card!!!! I love fall and have been enjoying the cooler nights and DAYS for that matter. Have a great holiday weekend.
Fall feels like it is here in Maine and I have been stewing about color combos for a fall wreath with the new Wondrous Wreaths set.
Stewing no longer! Thanks, Susan!
Susan, This card and envelope are so sweet. I love them both. Fall and Spring are my two favorite times of the year. The colors are both so beautiful. I love this card. It is going to be on my next order.
You helped us to know you can use this stamp set for more than Christmas. Thank you for this. Have a great day, Happy Stamping. Your Bow is great. Ellen Hinds
I love your colors! THis wreath is just beautiful! This set is on my wish list. Have a great weekend! Thanks for sharing.
Love the colors of this card. Very “fall” like. I never thought to do any other colors than Christmas. Great idea.
🙂
Isn’t this just a fun set. I have had so much fun designing new cards with it in all different colors.
Love how you used the Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede. Great color combo.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Have a great holiday weekend!
I am way behind on my computer time. I finally lured the little guy to his crate with a carrot of all things to steal away to the computer since Mike is outside.
This card is so pretty! Love all the rich colors and the bows! The envelope steals the show though!
