Here’s what I made:
The color is a little off in this photo, but you can see some of the sparkle and shine of the Gold Shimmer Vellum and the heat embossed sentiment:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Gold Foil Sheet layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Gold Shimmer Vellum layer cut to 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
- Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Christmas to Remember stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed in gold
Cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies:
- sentiment
Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:
- a ring from a scrap of Gold Foil Sheet using the two largest plain circle dies
Made the Wreath:
- adhered Gold Holly Leaves, one by one, around the gold foil die cut circle, using Mini Glue Dots
- I used a little over 2 packs of the leaves. You could use fewer by making the circle base smaller and making the wreath thinner.
- The silicone craft sheet is the perfect surface to create the wreath. I happened to have the backing sheet from some labels on my table, and I would’ve had to stand up to get the craft sheet, so of course I used the label backing. But the craft sheet would’ve been better.
- back of the wreath
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Gold Foil layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Stampin’ Seal+
- Basic Black CS layer adhered onto the Gold Foil layer using Stampin’ Seal+
- sentiment adhered onto the Gold Shimmer Vellum layer using Stampin’ Seal+
- wreath adhered onto the Gold Shimmer Vellum layer using Mini Glue Dots
- Gold Shimmer Vellum layer adhered onto the Basic Black CS layer using Stampin’ Seal+ under the wreath and sentiment, so it wouldn’t show through
- Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
This is so pretty! I love the gold shimmer. Your wreath looks perfect and should be hanging on a door! I love this one!
Thanks so much, Jackie! It would have to be a tiny door. Maybe for a Barbie house? 😀
Gorgeous card..wow on all those leaves!
Thanks, Windy!

Love love love the wreath. At first o thought you die cut them all and was impressed with your diligence. However. The gold leaves work much better. Stunning.
Thanks, Lynn! Die cutting would be less expensive, but less spectacular, I think.
Wow! This is so pretty! I never paid attention to the gold leaves. I totally missed the Gold Holly Leaves. I’ll definitely be adding them to my next order. Thanks!
Thanks, Sheryl! You’ll love them.
You sure put the shimmer in that gold! Great card! I would never have thought of that!
Thanks, Renae!
That wreath is a show-stopper!!! I thought you die-cut each leaf, but noticed the dies do not include the embossing and saw you used the gold holly leaves. So elegant!
Thanks, Sheryl!
Wow, Candy!!!! I am in awe at all those little gold leaves placed so perfectly!!! Amazing!!!
Thanks, Joanne!
Your wreath is absolutely perfect! I just love all the shimmer and shine on this card!
Thank you, Sue!
Amazing!!! Just amazing…Its so pretty. Love the gold shimmer. Just perfect
Thank you, Lisa!
