Square Wreath Engagement Card with Foliage Adornments

Cut three layers from craft card and red patterned paper in decreasing sizes. Layer and adhere these onto your square card base to create a mat and layer border effect.

Cut a square panel measuring 3.5 x 3.5 inches from kraft card. This will form the centre opening of your wreath.

Die-cut the foliage adornments from craft card using your die-cutting machine. Arrange multiple die pieces on your cutting mat to cut a variety of leaf and stem shapes in different sizes.

Run the foliage die through your cutting machine a second time to create additional pieces. These extra die-cut foliage elements will be used for layering and filling out your wreath design.

Ink the edges of some foliage pieces with Frayed Burlap distress ink to add brown tones and prevent them from disappearing into the red background paper.

Ink additional foliage pieces with Forest Moss distress ink to add green tones. This creates colour variation throughout your wreath arrangement.

Adhere the stamped square panel to the centre of your layered card base using foam pads to raise it slightly. Ensure the panel is centred evenly on the white card layer.

Arrange and glue the inked foliage pieces around the edges of the square panel to create a wreath frame. Start with the larger pieces in the corners and along the sides, then fill in any gaps with smaller foliage elements.

Glue small curled foliage pieces into the gaps of your wreath to add dimension and fullness to the design. Use dry clear glue to attach the brown foliage adornments, filling in any sparse areas around the wreath.

Add iridescent sequins to the foliage leaves and centre details using clear glue. Space them out to catch the light without overwhelming the design. Mount the completed wreath card onto your card base using dry clear glue. Add a sentiment such as 'To both of you on your engagement' to the centre of the wreath to finish the card.
