Seasonal Wreath Projects
Good Morning and Happy Halloween Dearest Dreamers!
During the month of October, my spline Elaine tasked a few of us with creating weekly projects using various stamp sets that seem to be overlooked in the Holiday Catalog. I got to pick out the Seasonal Wreath stamp set.
It was kind of a challenge for me in the beginning, especially because I didn’t buy the coordinating dies, but I definitely got some inspiration from Pinterest and I rather like the four projects that I completed.
Note: The Stamp’ Write Markers must be bought in a bundle, unless you buy them individually from your demo. I have the Neutrals pack along with some individual ones I’ve purchased from my upline.
Also: Unfortunately, Stampin’ Up! wasn’t pleased with the quality of their Purple Posey ink pads, so they have currently discontinued them for purchase. I already had mine and was using it before it was discontinued, so currently you cannot buy it.
The first project was inspired by Fall, as North Carolina finally got the memo about cooler weather.
Cardstock: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie
Stamp Set: Seasonal Wreaths
Ink: Gray Granite, Early Espresso
Stampin Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Real Red,
Stampin’ Write Markers: Merry Merlot, Early Espresso
I also used some gold sequins and some twine from my Paper Pumpkin stash to complete the card
I am really loving the In-Colors 2018-2020 combination of Purple Posey and Seaside Spray. This was a super easy card that I made.
Stamp Set: Seasonal Wreaths
Dies: Stitched Rectangles
Cardstock: Purple Posey, Seaside Spray, Whisper White

For my third project, I kept the same color scheme as the project before, this time working with a Christmas theme. Silver, Blue, and Purple is one of my favorite color combinations for Christmas (along with red, gray, and black) so I really wanted to give it a go here again.
Stamp Set: Seasonal Wreaths, Merry Christmas to All
Dies: Stitched Rectangles
Cardstock: Purple Posey, Seaside Spray, Whisper White

For my last project, I decided to use a color scheme I wouldn’t normally use for another fall themed project. I think I got the inspiration for this card from Erica Cerwin over at Pink Buckaroo Designs honestly.
