Here's how to Make a Christmas Wreath Scrapbook Layout with Stampinā Up! Punches!
Step 1: Create the Border & Base
Start by cutting a 12ā x 12ā piece of Pool Party Cardstock for your border. To reduce bulk while keeping the layered effect, hollow out the center by trimming a 10.ā x 10.0ā square from the middle, leaving a 1.0ā border.
Next, cut a White Willow cardstock square to 11.5ā x 11.5āāthis will be your base. For a touch of festive sparkle, lightly splatter the corners with a Lagoon-Shimmer Brush.
Once dry, adhere the White Willow base to the Pool Party border for a polished, dimensional look! šØāØ
Step 2: Punch & Cut Circles for the Wreath
To create the layered wreath effect, punch and cut the following circles:
ā 2ā Circles ā Punch four from Real Red and four from Garden Green using the Take A Bow DSP.
ā 2ā Circles ā Punch four from Granny Apple Green and four from Pool Party Cardstock.
ā 1-3/8ā Circles ā Punch four from Real Red striped Take A Bow DSP.
ā 1ā Circles ā Cut four from Pretty In Pink and four from Crumb Cake.
ā 1/2ā Circles ā Cut four from Crumb Cake Cardstock.
Step 3: Add Hand-Drawn Stitching for Extra Charm
Using a white gel pen, add faux stitching details around the edges of each solid cardstock circle. This simple step enhances the handcrafted feel, giving every piece a polished, stitched-by-hand look!
Step 4: Build Your Wreath Frame
With all your circles ready, itās time to bring your wreath to life! Arrange them in a circular shape on your layout, ensuring an even balance of colors and patterns. This festive wreath will serve as the perfect frame for your holiday photos and title embellishments!
Step 5: Give your photos a standout frame with layered matting!
ā¢ Main Photo: Cut White Willow cardstock to 4.25ā x 4.25ā and layer it onto Pool Party cardstock cut to 4.5ā x 4.5ā for a soft, festive contrast.
ā¢ Smaller Photo: Mat a 2.75ā x 2.75ā photo with White Willow cardstock, then add a Real Red layer for a bold pop of holiday cheer!
This extra layering adds depth and makes your memories shine! āØšø
Step 6: Create a Festive Title That Pops!
A holiday layout isnāt complete without a show-stopping title!
ā¢ āChristmasā ā Die cut this word from Real Red cardstock and layer it onto White Willow using the Peaceful Seasons Die Set for a crisp contrast. For an extra festive touch, place two Adhesive Backed Dots For Days above the āmadā at an angle.
ā¢ āGoodiesā ā Designed in Cricut Design SpaceĀ®ļø and cut to match the theme! This playful font reminded me of the Grinchāfitting since we were watching it while making these holiday treats!
This title not only adds a bold focal point but also ties the whole layout together with a fun, nostalgic touch! šāØ
7. Adding the Bow & Final Embellishments for Extra Holiday Cheer! šāØ
No wreath is complete without a festive bow!
ā¢ The Bow is cut from Real Red and White Willow cardstock using a CTMH Digital Art Kit and the CricutĀ®ļø.
Before assembling, I inked the edges with CTMH Intense Black and Real Red Classic Stampinā Pad for added depth.
Hand-drawn stitching details with a white gel pen give it that extra handcrafted charm!
ā¢ Finishing Touches ā To make the bow pop, I adhered it with foam tape for dimension and added adhesive-backed dots For Days in the center for the perfect finishing sparkle.
This final touch ties the entire layout togetherābecause every holiday project deserves a little extra magic! šāØ
