Today I’m sharing how to make a mini wreath and how it changed my snowy scene to a festive Christmas card. I love creating outdoor scenes with lots of falling snow and touches of red to create more interest For this card I used the Winter Lamp Post, Park Bench, Greenery #2, Evergreen Trees, Cardinals, Deckle Hills, Tiny Flower Buds and Splatter Background.

Create the Snowy Scene
- Cut all the scene elements to fit on an A2 sized card base. Note: You can lots of projects here using the Park Bench and Lamp Post.
- Use white pigment ink to stamp all the elements with the Splatter Background, apply white embossing powder and heat.
- Assemble all the die cut elements and attach them to the card base using strips of mounting tape and double stick tape.
- Apply white Nuvo Crystal Drops to the park bench and the top sections of the lamp post to create the appearance of piled up snow.
Make the Wreath
- Cut a few greenery branches and punch out or hand cut a 1/2″ circle.
- Cut the individual sections off the greenery branches.
- Use you snips to cut the center out of the punched circle and attach the two ends back together using glossy accents.

- Begin by attaching the tiny branches all the way around the wreath ring using glossy accents.

- Continue until you have covered the whole wreath base.
- Create the second layer by repeating the steps of adding branches and offset them slightly to fill in the wreath. I’m sorry that I failed to take a picture of this step.

- Cut some tiny red flowers and form them using a molding pad and tiny tipped stylus.
- Attach the tiny flowers to the wreath using glossy accents. Note: I use my reverse tweezers to pick up small pieces and to place them.

- Fill in the wreath with several flowers. Use as mini or as few as you would like.

Finish the Scene
- Attach the wreath to the lamp post using glossy accents.
- Attach a couple evergreen branches and flowers to the park bench and attach using glossy accents.
- Apply red stickles to the flowers to add a touch of sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the steps of how to make a mini wreath. Tiny embellishments like the wreath and bows on the bench add such a special touch to projects.
