Welcome Home

January is National Crafting Month
Here's a great project to work on during those chilly winter evenings
 
 

In January, you can purchase this wreath for $18.95
or earn it FREE with a $60 purchase!
 
Here is my step-by-step version:
 
The kit comes with all these pre-cut pieces...you just have to punch them out!
 
 
I inked the edges of all my petals - I used New England Ivy, Fern, Sweet Leaf, Juniper and Glacier.
 
 
 Next, I assembled the flowers.   I used the quilling tool to make the roses.  It was easy.  These types of roses are also available on our Cricut cartridges.
 
Then, using the paint brushes, I curled the flower petals. 
For the Juniper/Glacier flowers, I didn't curl the petals...but instead used the quilling tool to bend the flowers upwards.
For the Fern/Sweet Leaf flowers, I curled the petals with the paint brushes first, then used the quilling tool to bring in the petals.  Then, I closed them even more in my fist to give them a very rounded look.

Oh, I sponged the edge of the wooden frame with Whisper.
I brushed each flower with varying amounts of Shimmer Brush.  When the light hits the flower just right, it just shines!
Then, it was time to start putting on the flowers.  I started with the roses, because that's what the instructions said. 


Rather than using the enclosed stickers, I cut larger letters with the Artfully Sent cartridge.  The small letters are 1.25" and the larger letters are 2."
 I also had some gold jewels in my stash for the centers of the flowers.
 
I hope you like my wreath. 
You can get your own for free with a $60 order, or purchase outright for $18.95.
 
Here is the location of the wreath project on my website:
 
Mine is going to go on my front door in Hawaii.  Yay!
 
Have a great day!
