3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved….and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.  

March 16 Live Circle Celebration Save

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

    My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous!  I shouldn't be surprised at this point!  

    Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.  

    Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  Look at her amazing coloring!

    The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog.  She used Blends markers for her coloring.  Love that face!

    The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog.  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies. 

    It's also a fun fold 'latch' card!  Here's the inside view:

    Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back!  I just love her playful circles layout!

    She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green.  She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.  

    The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!  


    Sept Candace Bewitching Save

    Measurements:

    • Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border 
    • White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"

    I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!  

    Spooky Treats box Save

    I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

    The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
    • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
    • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

    For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.
