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

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. 

Dec Retro Circles Club[1] Save

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.

  • How to get more use of your Fragrant Forest stamp; cut it up!

    I shared this pretty card in last week's Live video. I featured the Fragrant Forest background stamp set seen here in all 3 projects. 

    Fragrant Forest with Beary Cute Save

    Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now.  But the stamp set is still available. 

    I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut. 

    The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White.  The lower strip for the greeting is torn. 

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click on this link to see it. Download Fragrant Forest & Beary Cute card  *subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a thing and can access all of my project sheets in one place!

    Are you wondering how I achieved the inside trees image without inking the entire stamp? Here's how!

    Fragrant Forest Beary Save

    I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers.  It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'.  I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought.  It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!

    Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block.  It just makes sense!  I encourage you to try it.
