Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!


As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders.  I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator.  I create the cards and my husband makes the templates.  You can see them all here in my Shop.  

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set.  You can see the stamp set here.  

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight.  I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded! 

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own. 

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece.  I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea. 

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side.  After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial.  The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed. 

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28.  It includes the following:

  • Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
  • 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
  • The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
  • The complete PDF sent via email

*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations. 

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here.  Opt in for both and save on shipping!

  • Look at this incredible Lazy Days card swap!


    I was blown away by the card swap Paula made for our Flowerbug's Team swap in May.  Check it out…..

    See what I mean?  The scene she created is so real & life-like!  This card features the new Lazy Days bundle seen here.  And she used many of the stamps & dies in the bundle.  I counted them – 9 stamps or dies! 

    Here's a photo of the bundle she used: Lazy Days seen here. 

    I think her soft colors set the tone for a real porch scene. That rug, lattice, fence and sponged sun – well just everything works! I'm so very proud of her talent.  AMAZING!  

    Her background is white but she lightly blended blue ink for the sky and likely crumb cake for the porch. 

    What do you think?  I think it's incredible well done.

  • New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!


    I'm just a little bit in love with this special fun fold layout!  I've made three versions of it this month…. 

    I featured two new colors in our Stampin' Up! catalog – Boho Blue & Pebbled Path with returning Misty Moonlight & White.  

    I hope you watch the video here or below to see how to make this neat card.  It's so much easier than it looks!  

    I knew this stamp set would be fun to play with.  The greetings are wonderful and of course the botanical images are beautiful!

    Details:

    • I stamped the large leaf repeatedly onto the Boho Blue layers using Versamark ink. I let it dry and then textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.  I love this new folder!!  
    • How did I get the two-tone colors on my flowers?  I used both an ink pad and markers. I inked the flowers first in Boho Blue. Then I colored the stems using a Pebbled Path Stampin' Write marker.  Huff and stamp!  Why huff?  Huffing with your moist breath re-moistens the ink on your stamp. This can be especially helpful with solid type stamps.  
    • After stamping I used the same Pebbled Path marker to add more detail to the base of each flower.  
    • For an easel card you need something to hold it open.  I stamped the flower in the set onto a piece of Boho Blue and punched it out with the Petal Park Builder punch. I curled and distressed the petals and added it with a few Mini Dimensionals.

    The card does lay flat for mailing.  

    I added a looped piece of the 2023-25 In Color Jute trim under my punched Oval greeting.  I did sponge a bit of Boho Blue on the edges first.  

    In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.  I made two of them for swaps on the Stampin' Up! incentive trip I'm on right now!  A Norwegian cruise!  

    You can watch me make this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!


    Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me!  I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap. 

    I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together? 

    This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.  

    After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink.  We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now.  For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

    Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks.  It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad.  *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process! 


    Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!  

    When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first.  If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it.  Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!  


    In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.
