Welcome to day 4 of the Impression Obsession Fall/Winter Release Designer Hop. We have some beautiful new stamps to share and gift certificates to give away each day!!! You will want to hop on over to the Impression Obsession design team blog to get all the details. I know you are going to love all the team projects you are going to see this week.
Today’s hop list!
Kittie Caracciolo (that’s me)
My project today was made using the new Gingham Texture stamp paired with the Twig Wreath, Fir Sprigs and candy canes from the Bare Christmas Tree set.
The wreath made with evergreen, candy canes and red multi loop bow with the gingham background is the perfect combination for an old-fashioned Christmas card. I started by attaching the gingham stamp to the mega mount, applied red ink and stamped on white cardstock. I layered it with red and white cardstock and attached to the card base with mounting tape.
I cut the wreath using kraft cardstock and applied brown ink to it using a Color Box stylus and foam tip. I laid the wreath face down on my molding pad and formed it with the stylus. I cut several pieces of evergreen and attached to the wreath to create the foliage spray.
I cut several candy canes in white and applied the red stripes with a red marker. I attached the red bow with glue dots and tucked the canes into the evergreen and attached with glossy accents.
The darker green cardstock made it a little hard to see the candy canes in my other photos so I took a close up so you could see them better.
I hope you have been enjoying see all the other design team members projects. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Love that gingham stamp. What a great background for you wreath.
Wouldn’t it be fun to add gingham to some other diecuts! hmmm – got me thinking now! a cute gingham border…..
Beautiful as usual
Gorgeous,anyone (like me) would love to receive your card.
Wonderful ward. Love all the texture and dimension and the gingham stam is fabulous.
Another winning card. You are such a great artist. I love your wreaths, I have tried making them but don’t quit have the knack yet. You inspire me.
This card is stunning!
Nobody does die cuts with so much dimension and style like you! I love the sweet little wreath over the gingham strip and the dainty foliage and tiny little candy canes. The bow is the perfect finishing touch.
I was wondering though, how you attached the wreath to the background? It’s so open and with the shaping there wouldn’t be many places to adhere it.
Thank you so much for sharing all your lovely work. This has been such a great blog hop week. I am going to hate for it to come to an end tomorrow!
Love the added candy canes!
Cool way to use the stamp.
Gorgeous card. Love that wreath. You got a great impression on the background
Kittie, this is so pretty…. I love the wreath and the gingham background… very homey feeling…. and I can’t believe the amount of work you put into making the candy canes…. really amazing… Again, I loved your idea… thank you for sharing your sensational creativity
Emily, I’m sorry I didn’t say in my post how I attached the wreath. I attached three large glue dots to the back of the wreath where the foliage is. That held the wreath in place and allowed the grapevine part of the wreath be free from any attachment. I hope that made sense! 🙂
Darling card. Your work with those little dies is always so amazing. I love the little candy canes & the gingham background stamp. Thanks so much.
You always have the best dimension on your cards. Love them.
A gorgeous Christmas card, Kittie!
Beautiful, traditional colors and everything fits so well together.
Kittie, you inspire me to try making such a Christmas card, Thank you!
Hugs, Eva.
