Christmas Cards using Build a Wreath Template

Good Morning

I have put this off for as long as I could, but feel now is the time to start with the "Christmas Cards".  I made these using a "Build A Wreath" template that I made with a star shaped die.

Materials Used:

A6 Christmas Mini Stamps
A5 Peace and Joy Stamps Set
6x6 White Card
5.75 x 5.75 Red Mat
4.75 x 4.75 Red Card
5.5 x 5.5 Green Glitter Card Mat
5 x 5 White Card
2 sizes of Circle Dies
Oxide Inks
Alcohol Markers
Sparkle Pen
Silver Glitter Embossing Powder

• Matted Red and Green Glitter Card onto white card blank
• Cut larger circle die out of centre of 5 x 5 white card.  Cut smaller circle out of centre of 4.75 x 4.75 Red Card.
• Used red Oxide Ink and inked lightly around the White mat.  Using the Build a Wreath Template and the middle branch from the Peace and Joy Stamp set, I stamped it around the circle in 2 colours of green.  Used the Holly, Robin, Snowflake, and Bell stamps from the Christmas Mini Stamps and stamped them evenly around the branches.  
• Embossed the snowflake with Silver Embossing powder.
• Coloured in all the images.
• Using the Smaller Circle die, I cut out a circle of white card and stamped and embossed the Peace and Joy stamp onto the circle.  Stamped some Holly along the bottom and coloured the images.
• Matted the Red Mat behind the Stamped Mat.  
• Using foam pads matted the stamped layer onto the Green Glitter Card.  Added the Greeting to the centre.

6x6 White Card
5.75 x 5.75 Red Mat
5.5 x 5.5 White Mat
5 x 5 White Card
3 sizes of Circle Dies
Oxide Inks
Alcohol Markers
Sparkle Pen

• Cut the smallest circle die out Red Card Mat and layered onto white card blank.  Stamped and embossed "Peace and Joy" stamp into centre of circle.
• Cut larger circle die out of centre of 5.5 x 5.5 white card.  Cut middle circle out of centre of 4.75 x 4.75 White Card.
• Used Green Oxide Ink and inked lightly around the White 5.5 x 5.5 mat. 
• Puting the larger white mat on the top and the smaller one behind, temporarily join them with a little bit of double sided tape.
• Using the Build a Wreath Template and the middle branch from the Peace and Joy Stamp set, I stamped it around the circle in 3 colours.  Used the Holly, Robin and Bell stamps from the Christmas Mini Stamps and stamped them evenly around the branches.  Also used a small flower from the A6 Flying Unicorn Stamp Set.
• Coloured in all the images.
• Carefully separated the 2 white mats.  Matted the one with the middle size circle onto the red mat, ensuring the circles were even.  
• Using foam pads matted the inked stamped layer on top of the previous layers.
• Added some red gems to the holly berries and a silver gem to the centre of the flower.
