3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

March 22, 2021

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!

CUTE Pillowbox ‘treat box’ you’ll love!

September 21, 2022
I made this cute box using the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Does it look like a pumpkin to you?

Save

It does use the Pretty Pillow box dies for the flat shape of the front of this box, but the box itself is made from a piece of card stock (see measurements below). I found this idea from fellow demonstrator Lynda Emerson. As usual I changed it up a bit from hers.

Products used:

Crumb Cake card stock, He’s the Man DSP, strips of Mossy Meadow for apple die trim & for the leaves die-cuts, Pretty Pillow Box dies seen here, Stylish Shapes (for the circle die-cut), Penned Flower & Apple Blossom dies, Stripes & Spatters EF, Linen Thread for the bow, Simply Scored Scoring tool

The inside of the box would hold quite a few treats; it's a good size!

Save

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5 ¼” X 7 ¼” scored at 2" on all 4 sides, plus two die-cut pillow box pieces
- He’s the Man DSP 2 ¼” X 4 ½”
Here is what the Pretty Pillow box dies look like:

Here are all of the projects I made. The other two cards feature the Hello Harvest bundle.

Use the stamp in a new way on this card! Hello Harvest projects

September 20, 2022
Here's a pretty card I shared on last week's FB live video; it features the Hello Harvest bundle.

Save

I cased the idea from my friend Dawn Olchefske; changing it up a bit. The main floral image is stamped twice (once upside down) and the greeting covers where they meet. You can see this image in the stamp set below.

It might look like there's an entire strip of designer paper under the main card layers. But it's just a few small pieces of the Rustic Harvest DSP at the top & bottom of the Vanilla card. Check out the Hello Harvest bundle here.

Save

I colored the floral image in with Blends markers in Daffodil, Fresh Freesia, Light Old Olive and Calypso Coral. I also added a bit of color to the pretty greeting banner.

Measurements are:
- Vanilla 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 3 ½” X 4 ½” & scrap for greeting
- Espresso 3 5/8” X 4 5/8”
- DSP is 1” X 2 ¼”
