Harvest Wreath Stamp Set Not Just for Fall - How to make your stamps go farther.

When I first saw this fabulous stamps set in our Inspiration Book and Catalog, I knew it was a must have.  The minute I saw it my mind was racing at all the possibilities that this stamp set had!  You are going to say, but it is a fall set.  Well yes it is, but today I am going to show you how to create two beautiful Christmas cards using this set!!

For the first card, I wanted to create a dreamy snowflake wreath.  So with the use of some pan pastels, the wreath stamp and some embossed snowflakes I was able to achieve the look I was going for.  With the addition of some rhinestones and glitter silk along with a soft organza bow, my snowy Christmas wreath was complete.

Then for fun, I decided to create another more tradition Christmas card using the same wreath and our Holly Jolly stamp set.  I loved the striped paper from the Christmas Cheer prints.  This time I stamped the wreath and cut it out.  Then added two adorable gingerbread men.  Some sparkle tape, Holiday Elements, pearls and a twine bow finished the look..

Both of these cards have basically the same layout, yet look totally different.  I hope you like them.  I still have more ideas for this wreath set and I hope you will stay tuned to see what else I come up with!  By using this fall set, thru Christmas, you are really getting more bang for your buck!  Stretching your stamps thru the different seasons is always a plus.  You don't just use it once and put it away until next year.  

All the products used for both these cards can be found on my website and are listed below.  You can also watch a live YouTube video on my YouTube channel to see how both of these were created.
