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.  

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!

  • Fancy Easel Fold card with the Arrange a Wreath bundle


    We made this fancy fold card at October card clubs. The Easel really shows off the wreath from the Arrange a Wreath bundle in the Annual catalog. You can see it in the video below.

  • Curvy Christmas; paired with the Curvy Dies


    I've always loved the look of curves and swirls so these new Curvy Celebrations products are right up my alley.  I've made so many projects I could share one each day for weeks! 

    Here's one of my favorites.

    See what I mean?  The curves make this project 'stand out' special.

    My colors are Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and White.  The designer paper is from the new Classic Christmas 6 X 6" pack seen here.  This is only available through January 4th or while supplies last.  

    The same is true for the Curvy Christmas stamp set seen here.  It will not be in the upcoming catalog so get it now while you can. 

    As you can see I cut two pieces of Navy card stock using the dotted curved die.  I heat embossed the greeting and the long stars image.  I die-cut two White sprigs from the same Curvy Dies and added them with a double Linen Thread bow.  

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products! 

    I chose to get it all at once with the entire Curvy Celebrations bundle seen here.  

    Here are some sneak peaks of the projects in the free PDF: 

    Above are ideas featuring the Quite Curvy set and below are projects with the Curvy Christmas set.

  • Curvy Celebration ideas!


    Here are a few more projects I made with the Curvy Celebrations products. 

    Above is a super simple card made by cutting just one piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock in half with one of the Curvy dies.  Separate them on the Vanilla card and add a curvy greeting.  Finish with a few punched leaves from the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle. 

    On this card I added the White curvy die-cut layer to a piece of Artistry Blooms designer paper and finished it with a few Blossom punches and Artistry Blooms sequins.  Easy!

    The card above features my strips technique I shared here in this video.  So fun and a great way to use scraps of Designer Paper! 

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products!
