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

November 9, 2020

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!

Save

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.

Pretty Friends for Life card with video tutorial & free project sheet

June 18, 2024

Here's the 2nd card I made during last week's video with the Friends for Life bundle.

Save

My colors include Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and White. I've always loved pink & orange together for some reason. The white circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. They are in low inventory right now.

Isn't this Full of Life designer paper stunning?!

Save

The pretty designer paper can be seen here.

There are two 'friend' die-cuts. One layers over the other. I cut the larger layer from the designer paper – it's an ombre effect.

Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial

June 17, 2024

On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper. Here's the first card:

Save

I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut.

This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here.

Save

Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card.

Save

I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!

June 14, 2024

I spent a few relaxing minutes putting together these pretty cards last weekend. It's the Hello Hollyhock kit from our Kit Collection.

Save

They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here. It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.

Save

My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp.

Save

She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!
