Retro style circles layout; super easy! Catch the Live video tonight!


Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live.  Click here to join me.   You can also see this video below!

Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout.  Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two. 

Watch how on my FB Live replay!

Measurements:

  • 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
  • 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
  • 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
  • Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles. 

You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper.  Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP. 


Products used:

  • Designer papers – Heartwarming Hugs, new Classic Christmas & Snowflake Splendor
  • Stamps – Tree Angle, Snowflake Wishes & Curvy Christmas
  • Colors – Real Red & Olive, Seaside Spray & Night of Navy, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler  
  • Other: Stitched Shapes dies, Curvy Dies & Pick a Banner punch

  • Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video


    I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too.  See this stamp set here.

    I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line. 

    The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge. 

    Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

    I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer? 

    Here's the inside view of the upper left card.  I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here. 

    You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here. 

    I cut my stamp apart! 

    Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!

    On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful. 

    I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful. 

    Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here. 

    Here's the inside view:
