Christmas Wreath Card

Make a quick Christmas Wreath Card with your rubber stamps!

"Perhaps the best Christmas decoration is to be wreathed in smiles
~Author Unknown"


A Quick Stamped Card for You to Make

Did you know the Christmas wreath is a symbol of eternity or eternal life? That's because the circle of a wreath has no beginning and no end. And there lies the key to making this stamped decorative card by using a small stamp to make a circle shape.

If you have a few more Christmas cards to make and are running out of time, this idea may help you out. It is a very quick and easy card to make. It would also make a perfect card for the Cards for the Troops drive.

You will need:

  • A stamp set with leaves/flowers you would like to make into your wreath plus a sentiment if desired - I used images from Stampin' Up!'s Classic Christmas and Seasons of Joy
  • Stampin' Write markers (I used Real Red and Glorious Green)
  • Encore Gold ink pad
  • Stamp-A-Ma-Jig
  • Card blank, scissors, adhesives, a compass and pencil

How to Make your Card:

Decide where you would like your wreath and how large you would like it to be. Adjust your compass to draw a faint but perfect pencil circle where you intend to place your stamped image. Ink up the holly stamp with your red and green Stampin' Write Markers and use the circle as a guide to where you would like them to go.

Tip: Use any small stamp to make your wreathe. Try small flower stamps, palm frond stamps, stars, circles etc. As long as you can stamp it over and over to make a circle shape, it's a good candidate for this card design.

Then ink the smaller flower with gold ink and fill in the spaces in the circle. I concentrated on covering my pencil marks with the little flower.

Use the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to place your sentiment in the middle.

And you are done. I hope you will share your own version of the Christmas Wreath Card when you make yours.
