To Another Year Circle Card




Happy last week of summer.  Here is a quick card that I made using a tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis.  I sent this one off to my stampin' friend Elaine for her birthday and she really liked it and wanted to make one for her self.  

I had never gotten around to trying the circles technique and it is a quick and easy bold way to add a focal point to a card.

I used the Saleabration Amazing Phrasing stamp set which has great bold sentiments for embossing.

Just a few more days to earn this stamp set for free a $100 purchase during Saleabration.


Card Base:  Thick Basic White 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" 
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Basic Black: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"   2" x 4" scrap for sentiment
In Color Glimmer Paper: 4 x4 squares of  die cut with 4 various size circles

Cut each circle in half and then glue circles all the way over to the left side on each half set.

Emboss your sentiment on black cardstock then trim with scissors with an angle on each side.  

Mat the white layer on black then adhere to card base.

Adhere the circles with the top half on the right side of the card and the bottom half on the left.  

Glue the sentiment over the seam of the circles.  

Embellish with Iridescent Rhinestones.

Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card

I am so proud of how this Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card turned out.



I absolutely love this card layout.  It is a twist on one of my favorites where I just pivoted the stamped layer at an angle on the card front.  I made this card for a new meets old swap using a retiring In Color along with a brand new stamp set from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

I chose Misty Moonlight as my retiring color and did a monochromatic card using the beautiful paper from the Heart & Home Suite.  This paper is sadly also retiring at the end of the January- June 2022 Mini Catalog period and I am so sad. Thankfully the stamps and dies will be carrying over into the new annual catalog so you can still get the gorgeous Honeybee Home stamps that I used here.

I used the Flowers of Home dies to create an embellishment for the left side of the stamped image and went over the cardstock with lots of Wink Of Stella to make it shiny.  I also colored in the floral image using my Misty Moonlight ink applied with the Wink Of Stella pen as a watercolor wash.

The new stamp set that I am featuring on this card is the Good Feelings stamp set and will be available for purchase on May 3rd.  It is an all sentiment set with bold large fonts and I used them on both the card front as well as on the inside of my card.





Card Measurements: 
5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Misty Moonlight Card Base 
(2) 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White Mat Layers 
3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Designer Series Paper Layer 
2 7/8 x 3 7/8 Basic White Stamped Layer 
3 x 4 Silver Foil Mat Layer 
3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Misty Moonlight Mat Layer 
2 x 4 1/4 Misty Moonlight Scrap for die cut 
2 1/2 x 3 Basic White for punch
