Hello friends! I am so excited to share today’s card with you! It features a couple of the new products from our Nordic Forest release, now available in the shop, mixed in with some previously released products. Let’s take a look at the steps taken to create this multi-layered card.
The first layer is the Evangeline Pinpoint Frame. I die cut it, popped out the little petals, then adhered it to a white card base.
The new Nordic Sweeping Branch is a must have for your collection. There are so many possibilities for it’s use! This time, I die cut the branch three times (MB: Gladiola Plaid 6×6 paper pad) and then easily formed it into a wreath. The fact that it has little polka dot veining is another big win in my book!
If those polka dot veins weren’t enough cuteness for you, there’s even a die included to created some of those darling layered Nordic leaves! Mine are layered in cardstock colors pulled from the plaid wreath.
Since this card will be going to my cousin and her husband for their anniversary, (their daughter is throwing them a surprise party!), I added some champagne colored leafy sprigs to the mix.
Two of our new Nordic Birds of a Feather were popped on with foam tape. They were cut from white cardstock. Some of their layers were colored with Copics to compliment the wreath. A simple congrats sentiment from the Hooray Stamp set was all that was needed.
The final layer consists of a few flowers from the Handpicked Bouquet die set and a sprinkling of Fairy Jewels. As you can see, there were several layers used to put this together, but they went together so easily! I hope you like the results… my in house critic did!
Hurry on over to the shop to check out the new products… and the old! You won’t be one bit disappointed, I promise!

Layer by layer your wreath just keeps getting better and better, Lisa. Those birds are adorable and the leafy branch is so versatile.
WOW! What a beautiful wreath with the added Nordic leaves and sweet flowers! The Nordic birds are the stars of this show though.
Oh, my gosh, this is fabulous! You started with the branch and ended up with this amazing piece. I love the detail in those leaves. And with the little birds — too, too tweet!
Adorable wreath with gorgeous colours and patterns. Especially love those sweet little birds. They make me smile! 🙂 Loll xx
I love how you turned the branch into a wreath, Lisa!! Perfect in plaid & I love all the elements you’ve added too!!
The wreath with the cubby little birds is just so darn sweet, Lisa! Love the soft color palette you used.
Oh my goodness–definitely one of my favorite cards! You’re right about the Nordic Sweeping Branch being a must-have!
This card is breathtaking in every way. The papers are so gorgeous and thus the colors. The composition of your wreath is so wonderful with all the leaves, birdies and blooms. It is absolutely fabulous!
