Cardmaking Ideas with Wreaths

Wreath-building stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders offer endless possibilities for creating stunning wreath cards. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Floral Wreath Card. Don’t own a wreath stamp or die? You can use any stamp/die you have with smaller flowers, leaves, and branches! Stamp a variety of floral elements, then use the coordinating dies to cut them out. Arrange the die-cut pieces in a circular pattern to create a beautiful wreath on your card.

2. Butterfly Garden Wreath Card. Incorporate butterflies on your wreaths and create a whimsical wreath filled with fluttering butterflies. Add dimension by die-cutting and layering the butterflies around the wreath.

3. Seasonal Wreath Cards. Use different color combinations and seasonal elements to create wreath cards for various occasions. For example, you can create a spring-themed wreath with pastel colors and flower designs, or a festive holiday wreath with traditional red and green accents.
