“May the sparkle of the season warm your heart and home.” What a wonderful sentiment…and so perfect for today’s sparkly wreath card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s our monthly sketch challenge this week, and the amazingly talented Anne Marie has a fabulous sketch for us. It’s so versatile, because you can use any shape for the focal point. While I created a sparkly wreath, I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors of the Day
Note: Sparkle Glimmer and Tranquil Tide are retired colors. If you don’t have these colors, you can substitute similar hues!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This is such a versatile sketch. I felt it was a perfect one for showcasing the lovely Seasonal Swirls dies. To make my wreath a little fuller, I used two pine bough swirls, one created from Matte finished Silver Foil and one from Brushed finish. A third swirl was die cut from retired green glimmer paper to use for embellishing. Although the green glimmer paper is retired, green foil would be the perfect substitute. The Star swirl was die cut from retired Sparkle Glimmer paper. A small bird with glittery wings, courtesy of the Beauty of Tomorrow stamp set, accents the sentiment banner.

I’m sure Nueve will try his paw at writing soon. He can’t wait to share his story with you. And, it’s always fun to learn about stamping from a puppy perspective!

Fan-tab-u-lous, Ann! Love all of the sweet details you added to make this gorgeous card sparkle and shine. Thanks for rocking my sketch this week!
Ann, this is so elegant and beautiful. I love the clean look with such perfectly amazing detail. Just stunning!
Gorgeous card! I love how elegant the neutrals look with the bit of green! The multiple layers for the wreath is so smart to beef it up a (and show off more papers!). Your pup is so cute and I can tell he’s a very good helper!! 🙂 have a great week!
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! The white embossed background and the gorgeous silver wreath is elegant! The sweet little bird, the sentiment and the bling is perfect!!!!! I love this card.
Sending you warm hugs and prayers. I can’t wait to see Nueve become your new assistant!
Awe, love sweet Nueve! We had a Boxer named Sarge for 11.5 years when he passed away. He was the sweetest Mama’s boy ever! He would say “Ma Maaa” and lay his head in my lap just like that. The card is beautiful also.
Such a gorgeous, sparkly creation! Love the snowflake background too! Thinking of you and wishing I could give you a big hug!
Beautiful wreath and such an elegant card! LOVE!
Lovely card Ann. And Nueve looks so sweet, I just want to give him a hug!
Love your card, Ann! And Nueve’s pic just made me laugh! Such a sweet face. I hope things are better in your neck of the woods! Take care!
I’m sure Nueve knows you are needing companionship and is eager to step in. The love is obviously mutual!
Love your card too!
This card is awesome Ann! I am envious of that beautiful embossing folder (I’ve been waiting patiently for mine to arrive here in the UK for months!!) and that fabulous, sparkly layered wreath is the perfect focal point. Great addition of the bird too!
Beautiful card so sparkly but not too bright. Well done. Looking forward to possible thoughts from Nueve on stamping, boxer life, and just anything and everything.
Beautiful card, Ann. I love your sparkles and that bird!
Nuevo must be a sensitive boy and knows his momma needs extra love right now. What a sweetie! TFS
