before breakfast...


Before breakfast I just had to try making a wreath template!
I cut a 6” square piece of kraft card stock and drew the lines you see with a black fine line marker.
Next I die cut the largest square from the only square dies I have, MFT Die-namics  “Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX” using the lines as guides I cut one square then flipped it to get the odd shape.
Now to make a card I placed it in my Tim Holtz traveling stamp platform and die cut another square from white card stock.
Then I searched my stamps for a quick and easy card idea and found Stampendous “Petal Plus Set”.
I will not explain how to use the template as there are better videos on YouTube, check them out.
I colored them with a Distress marker.
I used circle dies to make the centers and the verse from the same set.
After I have some coffee I am going to try and make a better template as mine is slightly off but you get the idea.
