Wreath card with Stamparatus and Positive Thoughts

Hello and welcome to my blog, Today’s card was created with the Stamparatus and the Positive Thoughts stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I deliberately kept these cards clean and simple but it would be real easy to build up the wreath by moving the stamp or adding other images.  Below is my first sample.

Sweet Sixteen birthday card ideas

Birthday Celebrations
