It’s Circle Circus that is! This stamp set has been in the catalog for
quite some time, and I always wanted it, but didn’t get it until recently. I’ve
only used it once before, so I just had to play with it more! That led to this
really fun and playful birthday card which was the second card at the July Make
and Take!
- Stamps: Circle Circus, Friendly Phrases
- Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Basic Grey, Whisper White
- Ink: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
- Accessories: Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon
I started off with a piece of Sahara Sand card stock cut at 4-1/4” x
11” and scored it at 5-1/2”. Then I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock
4-1/4” x 3-1/2”. I stamped the images from Circle Circus in both Daffodil
Delight and Basic Grey ink. My Basic Grey ink pad was running low on ink when I
made my sample, which is why the grey circles are so light. You can achieve the
same effect by inking the stamp, stamping onto a scrap piece of paper, then
stamping on your card stock. After I had
all the circles I wanted I adhered the card stock onto the bottom of my card
front.
Next I cut a piece of Basic Grey card stock 3/4” x 4-1/4” and adhered
it on top of the edge of the Whisper White card stock. I stamped the greeting
from Friendly Phrases onto the top of the card front in Basic Black ink. To
finish it off I wrapped a piece of Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain ribbon
around the card front and tied it into a knot.
That’s it! Super easy, super fast, and super cute! Even though it has
more subtle colors it just seems so cheerful and fun. What do you think?
