Posted on by Creative Memories

Who out there is pining to trim a tree, don your door with a welcoming wreath, illuminate the neighborhood with twinkling lights, artfully construct a sweet gingerbread house or hang stockings by the chimney with care? Well, decking your halls and putting up Christmas decorations earlier actually makes you happier according to health experts.

Well, today we’re taking that very merry scientific study and putting it to the test with this Christmas scrapbook layout with a wreath making technique from blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu! (It’s sure to bring happiness and cheer!)

Sachiyo’s Inspiration

‘Tis the season! Our home decoration starts from hanging a wreath on our front door. I usually make my own wreath for Christmas. Last year we had a little gnome sitting on our wreath. This year, our wreath will look like the design I share today in this blog with Rudolph and snowpeople. Do you deck your home with wreath? What does your wreath look like this year?

Step 1: Use a piece of the red stripe tonal paper as the base.

Step 2: Trim the green evergreen branches designer paper to measure 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″ and add to the base. Draw a circle with a pencil on the paper using the inside edge of the Jumbo Circle Pattern.

Step 3: Using the Candy Cane Chain Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border from Black Solid Cardstock. Cut out individual candy canes.

Step 4: Cut four circles using the inside edge of smallest Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern with the Red Blade from Hot Fudge Solid Cardstock.

Step 5: Cut four circles using the inside edge of smallest Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern with the Red Blade and four circles with Green Blade from White Shimmer Solid Cardstock.

Step 6: Using the Piece by Piece Mini Trio Punch Set, punch pieces from Cranberry, Black and White Solid Cardstocks. We will need heart shapes (all three hues), larger circles (white and cranberry) and smaller circles (black and cranberry).

Step 7: Cut four small triangles from Orange Shimmer Solid Cardstock.

Step 8: Assemble the Rudolphs and snowpeople as shown. Add a piece of Foam Square for Rudolph’s red nose for added dimension. Draw eyes and a mouth for the snowpeople using the Black Dual-Tip Pen.

Step 9: Add the Rudolphs, snowpeople and heart shapes along the circular pencil mark. Once you add all the pieces, erase the pencil mark.

Step 10: Adhere stickers, embellishments and a mat, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
