Anne Redfern is ALWAYS thinking up new and creative ways to use my Sizzix dies. This adorable mini wreath project is just to cute and CLEVER to boot! Strips of DCWV papers were wound around a wreath form Anne created herself and accented by pretty Poinsettia created using my Spring Leaves die. Yes, that’s right Spring leaves can be Poinsettia too.

Visit Anne’s Blog for a full tutorial on how to create this darling Mini Poinsettia wreath plus tips on how to use my Twist and Style Tool and create your own wreath form from upcycled materials!

Remember Nicole Wright’s Tree Lot Project from last Holiday season? Well, Nicole couldn’t resist adding onto that project with a Sizzix Travel Trailer all decked out in DCWV Cranberry Christmas papers. After all a tree lot NEEDS a trailer am I right? The fact that the trailer has actual working lights has sent me straight to holiday heaven!

Take some time to tree shop and have a look at both of Nicole’s inspired holiday creations new and old. This girl has a crafty bauble collection that would make Buddy the Elf jealous!
