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.

Florals In Bloom Pillar Pyramid Card

By Debbie Chronister • June 25, 2025
Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
