This is post is to show how versatile the Stampin' Up! Wreath of Blooms Kit really is.
If you are not really wanting this kit because of the home decor, then how about purchasing the kit to create a card or scrapbook layout?
I decided to create a scrapbook layout using everything in my kit with only a small amount of twine left. Of course, I did use additional items to complete my page and using everything in the kit was a "feel-good" accomplishment for me!
The additional products I used are the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, Alphabet A La Mode Dies, Enjoy the Journey DSP, various cardstocks and ink pads as well as Iridescent Pastel Gems.

I began with DSP from Enjoy the Journey as my background. The idea was to match the colors from the kit as closely as I could to make a cohesive page.
This photo is of my sweet little pup, Chloe, sleeping in her bed. It isn't very often I can get a photo of her sleeping as she is the most active pup I've ever had!
I matted the photo on Calypso Coral cardstock.
Adhesive Foam Strips were used behind the Petal Pink cardstock and the photo because the wreath created a bit of dimension and I didn't want the cardstock or the photo to bend.

The flowers were constructed a little different than the kit. As my creativity began with this layout, other ideas emerged and I just had so much fun creating this layout!
One of the larger flowers in the kit has three layers, but I used only two layers, leaving another flower to use elsewhere on my page.
The petals were curled under using a bone folder. As you can see, the flower centers are curled upward, which gave a little more interest to the flowers.
For the yellow flower, I adhered it as the kit shown, but I distressed it a bit by folding the bending the "petals" and adding a little Blushing Bride to the tips with my Blending Brush, which didn't show well enough, so I added a light dusting of Calypso Coral randomly on the petals.
For each flower petal, I added brushed Calypso Coral ink with my blending brush only on the flower tips to darken the petals.
The leaves were also darkened on the tips with Garden Green ink.
The letters were die cut using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. I started by adhering Adhesive Sheets to the back of the cardstock, die cut the letters and simply peel off the adhesive and add on your page.
The Pear Pizzazz cardstock was stamped using a leaf image from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and Pear Pizzazz ink.
The So Saffron cardstock was stamped using the sentiment from the same stamp set with Petal Pink ink.
For the Petal Pink cardstock background, two more images were used from the stamp set to create my own DSP using Pear Pizzazz and Petal Pink inks.
The heart was stamped using Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz ink. I fussy cut the heart and blended a little color around the edges with a blending brush and Petal Pink ink.
The third tiny flower was added on the heart with an Iridescent Gem in the center.
And in this photo you see where I used the third layer of the flower and leaf, which were tucked just under the heart and a Gem added in the center.

These flowers were so cute.... but placing them on the wreath didn't quite work for me, so I added them on the right of the photo with the stem tucked behind the photo.
The tiny flowers were supposed to be doubled up, but I liked them used as a single flower, giving me more options to add them in other places. I brushed the tips of the the flowers with So Saffron and Calypso Coral inks. Iridescent Pastel Gems were added in two of the flower centers.
This photo shows some of the highlights used to darken the leaf tips with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush.
Iridescent Pastel Gems were a perfect match for my layout.

The twine was doubled up, tied in a bow and added just below the yellow flower to "fill-in" some of the dimension of this flower.
You can just see the chipboard wreath behind the leaves. I colored the wreath by using Calypso Coral ink and Blending Brush.
The wreath was adhered onto the DSP with a hot glue gun as well as the larger flowers and leaves.
I hope you enjoyed my layout using the Wreath of Blooms Kit and that it inspires you in some way to get creative with this kit and thinking outside the box is sometimes really fun!
