The Sweet Stop sketch was used for my first sample.
Creative Nugget: The layers of the sketch were made by stitching lilybeedesign patterned papers to Cherry Cobbler card stock and mounting them to a Vintage Cream card base. The fall wreath was stamped, cut with a Classic Circle Nestie, and colored with Copic Markers. The bow was paper pieced, piercing was added, and the wreath image mounted to a Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Circle. Small Leaf Dies were colored and attached with a button to the sentiment banner. Pearls were added to finish the card.

I had fun creating a circle easel card for my second sample.
Creative Nugget: THIS tutorial on Splitcoaststampers was followed to make the easel base using Scalloped Circle Nesties. The circle panels were pieced with Solar Crest and Bo Bunny papers. The wreath used could be perfect for any time of year depending on how it is colored. Piercing, a paper pieced bow, seam binding, and pearls were used to give this Christmas card a festive look.
