The wreath and pine cones are from an Avery Elle Thanksgiving set and the bow from a Stampin Up set!
I remembered the wreath and dug it out, perfect size. The set has leaves etc. to make it more fall-ish.
But easy enough to mix & match all the stamps and dies we own :D

Sit down. I made cards.
I started to see how long I've had this unused stamp set but it would be too embarrassing. I even had the die for the wreath. A bad attempt at the door led me to simply using wood grain paper instead. Are you impressed with the little bells? :lol:

Woohoo Pam! Great idea using woodgrain printed paper. I think your wreath die is the same one I used on my first card...Memory Box? Terrific!

Bonus points for using an old (age not to be mentioned) stamp set.

Mine is from Papertrey Ink. Rustic Wreath, I think?

Jill that turned out beautifully. I think the wreath is fine and when you color the birds...wow! Love the sentiment inside also.

Very nice cards, Jill. I love your color combinations too.

I immediately thought of my Grandma's front door decorated for the holidays when I saw this challenge back at the end of December. She used to always wrap the whole door in foil and then put ribbons and a swag on it. I remember anticipating this as we drove to her house on Christmas Day. Finally got to give it a try yesterday and like the result. It really sparkles. I'm including a picture of my Grandma's door from 1965 so you can see my inspiration. I want to do some more with the panels, so I think I'll save this one to give to my mom next year.
