Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.
Tonight I'm joining in a fabulous Blog Hop to Celebrate World Cardmaking Day TODAY!!
One of the projects we made today at our event featured this marvellous bundle - Cottage Wreath, and I have paired it with the Santa's Express Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. I've made cards in 2 different colour ways to show off these great cards!
The first thing I did was to fold my Santa's Express cards into a Z fold featuring the gorgeous printed cardstock on the front and inside the card (normally the cards are totally white inside, but I've folded them inside out!!!)
I've used Mint Macaron, Garden Green and Sweet Sorbet inks along with Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade cardstocks.
The finishing touches for both of my cards is some Linen Thread and Iridescent Rhinestones. These 2 cards will be part of the projects in our Retreat Day in October. Mostly they feature simple stamping with a couple of die cut elements under the greeting!!
I hope you're really enjoying our blog hop tonight!! Make sure you keep hopping to see everyone's amazing projects!!

Ooh, you are so clever to use those card bases inside out! Your cards look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat design with the fold on the card, I missed having this wreath set when I created this afternoon and you are encouraging me to add this to my wish list. I really like the sentiment too. Thanks for joining the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteThese are great versions using the wreath stamp set, love the way you folded the cards too.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely cheerful cards Julia, sure to cheer someone up!

Two great cards Julia. Love the Z fold with the focal panels. Your use of the card bases is very clever. Love your use of the wreath stamps. Andrea xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Julia. I wasn’t taken with the wreath set initially, but I do love how your stamping looks, thanks for showcasing that set so well
ReplyDeleteThese are great cards Julia, I love this version of the z fold card with the panel on the front hiding the one on the inside! Love that you are using the wreath it makes lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteOh these cards are so fresh and Christmassy. Love your choice of Memories and More cards for the bases. Really wonderful Christmas cards that are very impressive looking. Cheers.
