Hello, Diane here with you today on the Classy Cards 'n Such blog.
Today I have a fast and easy card to share with you, though it looks as if you spent hours creating it!! It took me about 30 minutes to create!

I first embossed my white card stock, then drew a light circle on so I would have a starting point for my wreath. I had a button jar sitting on my table, so I just traced the lid from that.
I used the Cheery Lynn Designs Wreath Strip to cut my twig branches. I cut 6 strips, you get three large branches and four small, all from one die cut.
Each twig branch has a little piece on the end to connect one to the other with a brad if you want, but for this design, I snipped each off. It only took a couple of minutes to do that. I placed all the bigger branches on first, then filling in with the smaller ones.
To adhere the branches, I put some Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive on my mat and dipped the ends only of the branches in it.

I know it does not show in the picture, but I painted Stickles here and there to give a bit of sparkle to the wreath.
I added a bow and left my wreath as is, but you could decorate it any way you want by adding either a few

Pearls or Rhinestones to change the look.

Your wreath is lovely, and the little bits of Stickles add so much depth to it! I love that Cheery Lynn Wreath Strip die. It sure beats punching out the leaves one at a time!
