Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

I love using non-traditional colors for Fall. I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.

Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

September 21, 2021

Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards? You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are.

Save

Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!

Save

It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set.

There's a template for the card stock below. She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to. If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments. It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar!

Save

She uses a mini velcro dot for closure. The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.

Save

And here's the template for the card stock insert.
