Today I am sharing the cards made for the January Christmas Stampathon. The theme for this month is ‘Circles’.
My first thought was the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, but I have used it so much that it felt a bit obvious. I was thinking about what to do and attempting to tidy up my desk when my hand fell on my box of sponge daubers………..and just like that I knew what I wanted to do. As per the rules of the challenge I have made 4 cards.
Card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose 2 in Sweet Sorbet and 2 in Tahitian Tide Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 4 Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 8 – 4 for the insides Gold Glimmer paper – 4” by 1” x 4 Basic White card – 4” by 4” x 4
You can never have too many circles when you have a circle theme so I used the dotty 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the 4 Basic White panels for the outside of the card. This panel was then adhered to the Early Espresso layer. I glued the piece to the card bases.

This month’s theme for the Christmas Stampathon is ‘wreaths’ and my first instinct was to use one of the wreaths from the Cottage Wreath stamp set. However, when I pulled the stamp set off the shelf, I was drawn to the leafy sprig image instead and ended up using this as the basis for my card.
To recreate the wreath Christmas cards, you will need:
5 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”- I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock 5 matting layers – 5⅛” by 3⅜ – I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside Scrap Distressed Gold dsp On some of the card I rounded the bottom, right corner on some or all the layers.
I sketched a rough circle using a pencil in the upper half of the smaller panels of Basic White card. Around the circle I stamped the leafy sprig in Lost lagoon ink. The pencil circle was then erased.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies used to make 5 cards for the Christmas Stampathon
The trio of flowers, from the Ringed with Nature stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink, three times around the wreath. I cleaned the stamped and inked up only the smallest flower and added a scattering of these smaller flowers.
