Today I have a card to share with you featuring TWO sets being released tomorrow, Wreaths of Joy and Banner Holiday!

Wreaths of Joy is the latest offering in our seasonal wreath series, and for this set, we have two wreaths for Christmas!  If you've been on the fence about these wreaths all year, we're sure this set will push you over the edge!  The Seasonal Wreath series was concepted by our own Jami Sibley and illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line at Taylored Expressions.

Seasonal Wreaths comes on a sturdy 4.75" square CD sized full color panel and includes 13 stamps (4 images plus 9 words and sentiments) and coordinated with the fabulous Seasonal Wreath and Bow Dies!

For my card, I used cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon all from the Holiday Wonder Project Pantry Kit.  For the two cardstock panels, I impressed them with the Musical Swirls Impression Plate.  The green panel has the musical notes and the red the swirls.  I stamped one of the wreaths from Seasonal Wreaths in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and cut it out using the Seasonal Wreath Die.  I colored it with Copic Markers and the berries all have a coat of Glossy Accents.


For the sentiment panel, I used the darling new Banner Holiday set!  This is the perfect holiday sentiment set and coordinates with all three of the Banner Day Dies, Banner Day 1, Banner Day 2 and Banner Day 3!  Amazing no?  This set was designed and illustrated by Taylor for the te line at Taylored Expressions and comes on a sturdy 4.75" square CD sized full color panel which includes 15 holiday sentiments!

For my card, I used "Merry & Bright", which I just love with this wreath.  I stamped the sentiment onto a panel that I cut with the Banner Day 3 Taylored Die and stamped the frame from It's A Banner Day 3 in Riding Hood Red ink.

I added a ribbon/bow combo, and I created the bow with The Bow Easy, and added some pearls in each corner.  All of the elements are popped up with Foam Tape for added interest.

Here are the deets about the Holiday Wonder Project Pantry Kit I've used:
