Christmas Wreath

This is an advent wreath I made leading up to Christmas.  This idea was published in a Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft (CSP) magazine and was designed by Marelle Taylor.  It took a while to collect the tools and products I needed to create it but I was happy with the end result. 

The little envelopes were made using the "scallop envelope" die through the Big Shot, one of the small circle punches was used as a backing for the numbers.  Inside the envelopes at the back a "sweet treat cup" was inserted, inside the sweet treat cup, rub ons or stamped images were placed. A Christmas message was stamped on the opening inside flap of the envelope.  Inside the "sweet treat cup" was of course a sweet treat.  The envelopes were tied with 1/8" taffeta ribbon and some 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon was used around the wreath for further decoration.  The envelopes were attached to the wreath using a hot glue gun.
