Welcome back to Day 7! Hard to believe there are only 17 more shopping days til Christmas! Is your home decorated yet? If not Beckie has created a beautiful spin on the traditional Christmas wreath to inspire you. That's right Beckie has chosen to create a special holiday wreath and all from our Holly Jolly collection:
Isn't this adorable! Using die cuts like these older Sizzex ones that Beckie used for her wreath.
Here's a close up of the cute snowman family. Love their little bows!
Beckie offers these tips for recreating the wreath: For added stability after I had cut out the centre of the wreath I added a sheet of acetate behind and this allowed a clear background for the snowmen and other items to be placed on.
To create the depth, I cut strips of paper and loop folded them in half before adhering around the edge of the circle.
I spritz the whole thing with some pearl glimmer mist when I had finished for a frosted look
Thank you Beckie for an amazing project today and thanks to you readers, for making us a part of your day!

Spraying the whole thing with Glimmer mist is just genius! Love it!

So so cute! I'll have to dig out my Sizzix and see what dies I have to make that cute wreath!
I make cards and minialbums for Christmas, but I'm thinking I need to vamp it up a notch after seeing all of these fabulous ideas here this week!
