Celebrate Spring!

Time to celebrate spring in the Wild West. We’ve really had spring for far too many weeks already. But officially, it came last Friday. What better way to usher in the official start of the new season that with a beautiful spring wreath that includes a sweet little bird.

A few friends and I did just that on Sunday, March, 22nd. We gathered around, packin’ glue guns, BandAids and of course the Simply Created Build a Bouquet Kit (#137952). The kit is featured on page 29 of the 2015 Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up! The wreath and bird were purchased at a local craft supply store.

As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator we receive the Stampin’ Success Magazine with all kinds of tips and ideas. This wreath is one of these ideas. Adding the little bird was inspired by a dove behind our shop. Nature will take over anywhere it likes.

She was very patient with us as we snapped a few pictures. We’ll keep an eye on her and share photos as long as long as we don’t scare her.

Celebrate Spring Wreath Tips:

Create the flowers as instructed in the directions or video.
Don’t fasten the leaves or wrap the entire stem.
Snip the wire close the bottom of the flower and fasten to the wreath with hot glue.
Fasten leaves, bird and anything else that tickles your fancy with hot glue.
The wreath shown here is about 8″ inside diameter and about 4″ outside diameter.
With this configuration, one kit will give you enough flowers to create two wreaths. However, you’ll have a total 30 individual blossoms (5 different kinds of flowers) to create with. Click here to view all of the blossoms in this Stampin’ Up! Video.

Everyone left with this little gift box also inspired from our latest Stampin’ Success Magazine. By now you’re probably asking, “How do I get my hands on the Stampin’ Success Magazine?”
