A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

A Wreath with Ribbon

Merry Monday wants us to "add a ribbon" this week.


One of the things I love making for my cards are little Christmas wreaths, and ribbon goes well with wreaths so here's my card:


I made the wreath with scraps of various green dps and the Martha Stewart punch, added gold gemstones, mounted it on a red front door and a white wood background.  I used gold ribbon to "hang" the wreath over the door and to add a bow to the top of the wreath.

Another ready to go into my stash!






Supplies:
Paper - white and red cs, scraps of various green dps
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box door die, Spellbinders circle dies, Martha Stewart pine branch punch, black gemstone, gold ribbon

    You make fantastic wreaths with green dps, Susan! And I love the bold red door against the white woodgrain embossed panel. The shiny black door knob is a great accent too. Hideko xx
