Cuttlebug - Christmas - Snowy Wreath!

Hello Cuttlebug fans, I'm Shantaie Fowler and I have a snowflake bejeweled wreath to show you.

This wreath is whimsical and elegant at the same time. I hope you like it!

To make this wreath you will need to gather the following supplies:

wreath form {square used here}, low temp glue gun, heat embossing gun,

2 feather boas, embossing ink, glitter embossing powder, round mirrors, silver paint, sponge dauber, snowflake dies,card stock in white, ribbon, pearl head pins

Cut out several snowflakes using your cuttlebug, and coat with embossing ink. Sprinkle generously with glittered embossing powder I used Stampin'Up! hologram highlights.

emboss snowflake, using tweezers to hold in place. Designers tip *you will need to cover your work area* glitter will blow around a bit while embossing! a swiffer cloth is great to pick up all the fly always.

The snowflake has a shiny surface and the glitter is encased in the embossing powder. The act of embossing causes a slight curling that is lovely.

Add a small mirror or gem to the center of each large snowflake.



To cover the wreath form wrap the feather boa around in an angled direction to cover completely. If you still have a few "bare" spots add white feathers to fill in. As you wrap add a small amount of low temp hot glue, use caution as glue can seep from under feathers.

Add snowflakes where desired in a random pattern, using hot glue.

Attach smaller silver painted snowflakes with pearl head pins to fill in design. Tie ribbon to top and make a large bow. Your wreath is ready to hang! I bet you can think of a new version for every occasion!
