Lattice Fold Wreath Ornament

I had so much fun with my Lattice Fold Ornament, I just had to make one into a wreath! There are a few more directions below to change the Lattice Fold Ornament into the wreath, but check out the other post for the full directions.

You are going to fold the Lattice Die cut just like you did for the other ornament, then you are going to cut out the middle. I have shown below where you cut with the red lines. Do this after you have folded and glued the loops together to make it easier to assemble.


Once they are cut, you can put them together. The wreath only uses three lattice shapes so it pops up a little bit when they are all together. (The other one used four.)


Once they are together, fold back the outside ovals so the center bumps up, but the wreath lays flat. make a second one and glue it to the back to make them stronger and to be more 3-D.

You can color your Rhinestones with a permanent red marker right on the sheet and then put them on the wreath. Put your bow and string on. and you are ready to decorate the tree!

Double Door Decorated for Christmas

Here is my Double Door card that I have decorated for Christmas with little wreaths. A long time ago I did a single door card but I like this one much more. I made this with a template which you can get for FREE by clicking on the door drawing below ! If you make one, email me the picture so I can see what you guys come up with!
I used the Christmas Lodge stamp set from the Holiday Mini for the sentiment on the inside. For the door I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and just sponged some of the rectangles to make them darker. The wreaths are using the 1" Circle punch for the inside and then punch the Scallop circle out around it. The back layer is Always Artichoke and the front is Old Olive sponged a little. The bow is made out of 1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon and the rhinestones are just colored red with a permanent marker. I used the Jewelry tag punch in So Saffron, cut in half for the door handle backs, and Glimmer Brads for the handles themselves.
The rectangle sizes for the bottom of the door are 1-1/8" x 1-5/8", 1-1/4" x 3/4" and 1" x 1/2". These are on the template also, but just to make it a little easier for you.

Here is what the door looks like undecorated. You can make decorations to go on your door for any holiday or occasion. Make a birthday sign or a skeleton for Halloween! Don't forget to send me the pictures if you come up with something good!

I have had a lot of emails asking if I have pictures or directions to make the ribbon wreath. I found a site that gives photo instructions of the stitch/weave to make it!

Pratt Door Ribbon Wreath

I did a search on splitcoast after I posted my other wreath and found one of a door with a wreath. I knew I had to put my own spin on it. Here is the one that I found.

And here is mine!

I had to make a little Pratt sign on my door. This is a standard card size so you just open the door to see the inside! CLICK HERE to see how to do this.
Ok... I have had enough stamping for one day. I am going to bed. Goodnight.

Ribbon Weave Wreath

I am so excited about this card! I love it! I just found a video showing how to do this great technique. When I was a kid I made bracelets this way all the time and someone thought to make it into a wreath! I used Always Artichoke 1/4" grosgrain ribbon for the wreath and Real Red for the bow. The wreath ends up being 3" across. I did use the 6 feet like it said in the video and it came out perfectly. The red dots are red brads just pushed through the ribbon, I thought this would look great with the red rhinestone brads but I don't have any. The white is using the Scallop Circle #2 die cut and the large card is cut using the Scallop Square die cut. The sentiment is in Basic Black using the Holiday Best hostess set. And of course Serene snowflakes, the small one with three snowflakes, in Whisper White craft for the background. I glued the wreath on using the large glue dots and popped up the white scallop with dimensionals.
I thought this would make the cutest ornaments too!

Leaves #2 Wreath

This was the project that I was doing with the Leaves #2 die cut when I got distracted and made the moose! I love this wreath. There is one on page 92 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog.
I used a variety of green scraps I had of regular cardstock and a bunch of patterned paper. All the ends of the leaves are bent slightly and attached with the green capped Tombow glue around a cardboard base I cut out. The bow is cut paper with the center made out of the wide oval punch. In person this wreath has so much dimension it's stunning!
Here are close-ups of the leaves and the bow.
