A card does not need to be a rectangle…a square…it can also be a CIRCLE! Would this bring a huge smile to your face if you opened up this card? You all know that I love odd shape cards and I thought that I have not shown a circle for a while…..so today is the day!
Odd shape cards are a cinch now that we have the envelope punch board! Because you can use whatever paper you wish…I thought it would be fun to "play up" the lining and use a crumb cake envelope – it is a 4 1/2" square envelope!
Simple…quick…FUN!
The trick to making a circle card is to leave a gap at the top of the folded card stock. The Circle Framelits were the main focus on making this card come to reality (#8 for the card) and then one the next size down in Coastal Cabana was the POP color!
I have not heat embossed for a while and I think that this stamp lends itself to it! Isn't this a great sentiment? It is a hostess stamp set and the clear mount is just $9.00 when you earn hostess rewards!
You are going to love the new hostess sets in the new catalog, there are 7 in total…that is worth a WOOT-WOOT as they are always such a great value! Please email me and let me help you get this set for just $9.00!
I find when I heat emboss, I like adhering the image down flat using the Mono Glue…many times I think that the paper gets a bit "warped" and if you used stampin dimensionals – it tends to be un-even….
The flowers on this card came from the Boho Blossoms Punch. I gave them a quick "curl" with the Bone Folder and then the glue dots and the Brights Candy Dots made it come to life!
The envelope was lined with the Fresh Prints Paper Stack and you will be happy that we will be having 2 more of these stacks in the New Catalog! I adore them for 2 reasons…love the size and wowzers – a great deal!
Is is one sweet and fun card! I hope that you will try to make a circle card. Tomorrow is Make it Mine Monday…and I know that you are going to like the sketch that I found!
I received my Paper Pumpkin yesterday and naturally I had to "peek" into it and it is super cute….you'll see my take on it on Tuesday….it's a keeper and all focused to Father's Day and a super cute Happy Birthday Stamp!
I truly hope that you go out of the box and make a different shape of a card! It's fun….it's different….and you will smile!
Until tomorrow!
Such a cute little card, and the envelope liner just puts it over the top! : )
Sweet card. Love that sentiment. Thanks for sharing a circle card.
Love that liner on the envelope – great choice for the envelope that you made. My mind goes in circles when I think I want to try to make a circular card! I never know what to focus on – a large sentiment or a stamped image. Then, how to embellish? I think if I didn’t think about it and just do it, I would be better off! Maybe I need to copy your idea and then go from there. Simple is better but I just tend to muck it up! Yours is always just right!
I received my “punkin” yesterday too. I hope you do some alternatives for it. I don’t understand the blue part under the tie. The tie and shirt I totally understand. I was thinking about a tie tack or tie bar – using the gold sheet maybe for the strip with a pearl on it. My sentiments will go inside since my FIL’s birthday is the same as Father’s Day. Totally love the little mini cards. Too bad they didn’t make the tie out of the patterned paper. Am I ever happy? Gotta keep going to catch up with your posts…..
Thanks for the inspiration Susan. It’s good to be reminded that not all cards need corners!
what a great card Susan, I love shaped cards as well and the circle framelits make it easy to do. thanks for the inspiration
