Circle Circus CAS

This is a clean and simple on a hump day when I don't have much time.  I used the Circle Circus stamp set in Soft Suede and Bermuda Bay. I punched the center of the stamp out and put them on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is in suede (and a little crooked I might add .... pffft!) I do love my CAS cards. This one was a variation on a CASE. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Circle Circus Punch Happy

Rock on Melon Mambo! I really love that color of pink. This was a great card for club to showcase punches. I used various sized circle punches and the Circle Circus stamp set (#115778). The base card is Chocolate Chip, the circles are stamped on WW, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie. The ribbon is Melon Mambo 1/2 inch polka dot grosgrain ribbon.

The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (#115370) which is totally worth the money. You get 24 stamps for $36.95 (plus tax and shipping). That only comes out to around $1.50 per stamp and you'll have every holiday and then some! It's one of my "go-to" sets for greetings.

The Saturn type ring was punched by using the smaller circle punch first, then the large one. Some of the circles are raised with Stampin' Dimensionals to give the artwork more pop.

That's it for me. I'm on the fly today. Much to do, then dinner plans so I need to get hobbling (still on crutches from the total hip). My biggest problem is carrying my purse. It slides off.

Thanks for stopping by,
Much love and joy,

It's Thursday Already!

Here I am with Circle Circus again! This card was so fast and easy!

I used:
  • Card stock in Textured More Mustard, Melon Mambo, WW and Old Olive
  • Accessories: Metal Tag, Markers, Three for You punch, Mustard brad, Scallop Edge punch.
That's it! I did stamp the image onto WW card stock and then glue it to the tag otherwise I kept catching the edge of the stamp in the metal rim and coming up wit a skewed image.

Also, I have a question. I received some Spellbinders Nestabilities for my birthday a few days ago. I was able to cut the shapes by using the sandwich recipe for the Big Shot on the directions, how do I emboss? What's the sandwich on that one? Everytime I do what it says I cut an image. It mentions tan embossing pads in the directions but I don't want to buy more non-SU stuff, KWIM? Any help would be appreciated.

Have a great day and see you tomorrow for 3D Friday!

Much love and joy,

Happy Hump Day!


Good Morning everyone!

It's hump day and it feels like it. This cards is a direct CASE from a wonderful designer on Splitcoast. I'm so sorry I don't remember the name to give you credit!! But ... if you see it, know that I loved it and that you are thanked. ;-)

This card uses the Circle Circus stamp set (#115778) as well as the Smarty Pants set (#115070).The card stock is Kraft (what WILL be known as Crumb Cake!) Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip. The images were stamped on WW. The DSP was from Razzleberry Lemonade (#115675). I used 1/2 inch Polka-Dot Grosgrain ribbon in Melon Mambo and a Chocolate Chip Corduroy button.  I love this set so you may see a few cards posted with it in the next few days.

Hope all is well with you and that you're finding time to scrap and stamp! Check out some of the Links I Love and see what my stampin' pals are up to. They are some amazing women!
Much love and joy,
