CIRCLE PUNCH BACKGROUND

November 10, 2021

This is a fun and easy card providing you are able to cut straight! As you will see in the video it is extremely important to cut your paper straight in order for this to work. I used a 2 1/4" circle punch, which is no longer available through Stampin' Up! however, you could use circle dies and it would work the same.


On the Christmas card I used the Be Jolly Stamp set and Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. You will find a list of supplies below and a link where you can order them or any other supplies you may need.


Instructions
Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Real Red, score at 5 1/2

Cut (2) 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White, one for inside and the other for the front
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, using a 2 1/4" circle punch punch out the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I did this on 2 pieces of DSP and interchanged the pieces.

Die cut the largest image from Hippo & Friends for Santa
Stamp Santa and color him with Real Red, Basic Black light, Daffodil Delight & Ivory Stampin' Blends

Die cut the greeting tag from Seasonal Label Dies and stamp in Real Red



Here are two more cards I made with the same style but I used the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used two different pieces from the coordinating pack.

Kintsugi Inspirations

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

Metallic Textures Rub Ons

By Debbie Chronister • May 30, 2025
For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

By Debbie Chronister • May 21, 2025
This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

Impressions Abloom Pop Up

By Debbie Chronister • May 7, 2025
No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
