A Wonderful Wreath on a Picket Fence

We are really wondering why we even hesitated to add the Wonderful Wreath Framelits and coordinating Wondrous Wreath Stampset to our collection.  Using three coordinated stamps to create a gorgeous holiday wreath, this one with a wintery face, couldn't be more fun and easy.  Much to our delight, our Chocolate Chip Hardwood fence is a really nice way to show it off.

Wreath on a Fence Card

It only took a little trimming on our paper trimmer to come up with a set of pickets and some cross pieces to build our fence.  The Hardwood Stamp stamped on Crumb Cake with Chocolate Chip has clearly defined boards which made the cutouts much easier than using a saw on a hunk of wood!  The first panel was cut off and slit in half to make the cross sections.  The Woundrous Wreath stamps have tabs to help line up the layers and they do double duty when it comes to the cutting out part too!  Thank goodness for the Big Shot and Magnetic Platform.  We absolutely love this wreath framelit with its accessories--like the little bow to decorate with.  Dimensionals give us a hand in hanging our handiwork on the fence.  Our Christmas greens are Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow, our reds are Cherry Cobbler of course!  We thought about snow on the fencetops, but we don't want to give Mother Nature any ideas too soon!  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ©
