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!

  • Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)


    Do you normally shop on Black Friday?  Online or in the stores?  I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year!  That's my plan anyway.   

    I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

    Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping.  Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift. 

    All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands! 

    And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too! 

    Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer! 


    I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors. 

    If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US.   They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

    Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday.  Here are the cards we're making: 

    It's all about the trees this time!  I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.  

    Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am.  Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come.  You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!


    I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today!  I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to.  It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions! 

    I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week.  I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family. 

    She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here.  You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both! 

    If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge.  I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess.  What's your guess??   

    As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets!  That's 176% over their predicted amount!  Whoop!  I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

      CS – same color as base 4 1/8" X 3 5/8"
      2 pieces designer paper 4" X 1 1/4" for sides and one more at 7/8" X 5 1/4" for top (or a textured piece of CS instead).
      2 pieces neutral CS for front and inside
      A die-cut flower, snowflake etc
