Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop

This month's PTI Blog Hop challenge is wreaths:  to create a project incorporating a wreath.  Fun and festive, right?  Yes!



The only wreath stamp set that I own is Papertrey Ink's Birds and Blooms set ... of which I had not used to stamp a wreath!  That's one of the things I like best about challenges - they get me to use supplies I've been too busy to get around to using.  :)  And let me tell you, this stamp set is gorgeous!  The details are incredible!  It makes for a beautiful, one-layer, easy to mail card.  Wouldn't you agree?


I had a bit of trouble lining up the flower stamps properly within the leaves, so I filled it out a bit with a few singles and the cute dot trio from Mini Blooms.  The finishing touch was to top the wreath off with a bow from Bells and Boughs.


I decided to go the extra distance to decorate the inside of the card as well as the front and back of the envelope.  



All supplies used are from Papertrey Ink.

 Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

    This is absolutely stunning! And I LOVE that it's flat for mailing too! I would've never guessed you'd had trouble lining it up!!

    Birds and Blooms is a set that I didn't have to have. Since there is so much on my wish list, I passed on its purchase. After going through the cards in this blog hop, my opinion of this set has changed. The wreath is gorgeous and you used a great color combination. Love how you carried it through, even on the envelope.
