For the last inspiration challenge of 2025 Amy has chosen the "Little Obsessed" site and Pinterest boards. Where I came across these bitty wreaths and just smiled. At this time of the year simple works best for me & I knew that I have these In 1" size and 1 1/2" size from Darice, I have them from Recollections larger than that, I've even bought these sisal wreaths in cream color. And I just do not use them, I don't make miniature things. And I think they would be crushed mailed on a card front. So, they are a "I have them because they caught my eye" but, I don't use them things box in the closet.. and I decided to try to get one to work on a tag like a proto-type for next years "gift wrapping season gift boxes" is I guess the thought here.
The way the wreaths are shown in their store site the image is just the wreaths with no content around them I did decide to go clean and simple here with white for a backdrop. I die cut an Ornament from some old Recollections white glitter paper with a Sue Wilson snowflake baubles set die ( its the larger one in the set) and then that was "OK" so I wound the gold string that came on the wreath through it's hole and decided it needed an "ornament hanger" and I wanted something a little bigger and I wanted it to sparkle so I found this hanger from the Simon Says Stamp reeded Ornament die set cut from some (its almost a teal-ish sparkle green paper) and decided it worked with the color of the wreath so, I did cut a second ornament to back the sparkle paper and thought OK put this on a tag. ( that wreath has 2 glue dots under it holding it from sliding around on the ornament) and I found this "be joyful tag that I had stamped previously on that justrite tag diecut and tied it on with some May Arts gold cord. The Schoolhouse red tag behind it all is from the set that was part of the Tim Holtz / SSS Festive tag dies set from last summers class. That gold sheer ribbon is old and unknown, I am halfway thinking there are too many gold cords on this but, that is how proto-types evolve for me is to just try something and then discard the parts that I don't like as well for the next one. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping b
