Halloween wreath cardIn my world, wreaths aren’t just for Christmas. By using a black and orange color palette, presto-change-o… a spooktacular Halloween card is born! When I find a technique or idea that I love, I use it for all types of occasions throughout the year by making simple changes to the design. This card is super easy to make using our shape hole punches – perfect leaf shapes every time!

Try making this card with a blossom wreath to welcome a baby girl or a bluebell wreath for a baby boy. How about a fuchsia and red wreath for a Valentine’s Day card? The possibilities are endless!

    Thank you! I so appreciate the Paper Source Blog and the how-to videos at your web site. Alas there is not a Paper Source store in Colorado! Darn. Luckily, I occasionally get to Boston or Bellevue, Washington stores.
