Hi, crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas in July card. It’s still July – barely. I don’t want summer to end, and at the same time, I love creating Christmas cards, so I’m not entirely sure what to make of that. The card I shared two weeks ago featured  felt snowflakes and a branch die that I used to create my arrangement. I wanted to revisit the idea of a wreath of snowflakes (which was my original plan for the last card), but once I’d die cut and decorated my branches, I wound up skipping the snowflakes on this one.

I started by die cutting the branch four times from a piece of green patterned paper from the Key to my Heart Collection from Kaisercraft. I then painted unevenly with a VersaMarker and added White puff embossing powder from Wow! for a snowy effect on parts of the leaves. I then cut each of the branches up into little mini branches to create my wreath.

I splattered white reinker onto a panel of Wheat cardstock from Concord & 9th and adhered it to a top fold white card base. I added my mini sprigs of leaves in a wreath formation, popped up a sticker sentiment near the base of the wreath and added three red pearls to embellish. I also put little pieces of foam squares behind some of the leaves to make it more dimensional.
