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!

    Are you enjoying these sneak peaks from the new 2021 Stampin' Up! Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs?  It's always fun to play with brand new products.  Today I'm playing with new 2021 Sale-a-Bration (or SAB) items.  

    The Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper is full of flowers and fun color combos!  I decided to use my Stitched Rectangle dies to create this layered effect.  If you want to watch a video on how to do this click here.

    I used the third smallest and the third largest die in the Stitched Rectangles set.  It looks like I wasted a ton of paper but the entire card is made with one piece of DSP measuring 5 1/4" X 4".  It's so cool!  

    Navy layers are:

    • Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Smallest rectangle is 3 3/8" X 2", middle is 4 1/2" X 3 1/8" 

    You might wonder what I used for the greeting.  The White piece is a new die from the Potted Succulent dies seen here. The Rococo Rose layers are punched pieces; 2 of them.  I used a 1" X 3 3/4" strip and the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch for the ends.  The center piece is the Story Label punch.  The pearls on the label are the NEW Pastel Pearls on page 19 of the new Spring Catalog seen here.

  • Free Quick & Easy One Sheet Wonder template for 12″ designer paper

    When I saw the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper I thought it would work wonderfully with a one sheet wonder.  It's amazing and gorgeous paper that you can get FREE during Stampin' Up!'s 2021 Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It starts on Tuesday, January 5th so I cannot give you a link to the products quite yet.  But I can show you my cards!

    Berry Delightful OSW Red Save

    Aren't they sweet?  All are made with just one sheet of 12 X 12" Berry Delightful paper.  I needed just a few additional strips and layers along with greetings. The colors are Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, White & Flirty Flamingo.

    Here's the template I created.  You can watch the video below to get some tips on making these cards.

    I used the Berry Blessings stamp set which is included in the free bundle along with the Sweet Strawberry set & punch bundle from the new Spring catalog. 

    This stamp set & Designer Paper are free with a $100 purchase during SAB.

    Here's the Sweet Strawberry bundle I used.  I love that the punch has 4 parts that match the stamps!  (You can tell which images coordinate with the punch; they're highlighted.) And notice how the fonts in both of these sets match?!!

    After I made the strawberry cards I wanted to try the blueberries sheet so I made these cards with that one.
