Circle Circus thinking of you...

Kim's club members made this card for one of their projects this month.

Circle Circus is a fun stamp set because it works hand-in-hand with the many circle and scallop circle punches Stampin' Up! carries.

The "thinking of you" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. It was punched out with the Modern Label Punch, then Kim added two Tempting Turquoise brads for another pop of color.

Country Morning, Circle Circus, Medallion...

Though these stamp sets vary widely in style, they're great to play with - especially at a stamp-a-stack, which is where I used these designs.

The first uses the Level 1 hostess set (free with $150 order) Country Morning. It's stamped in Basic Gray and colored in with an aqua painter and ink pads. The Whisper White layer is on Rich Razzleberry with a mini library clip.

The top two layers are adhered with dimensionals to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Razzleberry Lemonade paper, which is adhered to a strip of Rich Razzleberry that's been punched using the Eyelet Border punch, then to the Crushed Curry card front.

The Circle Circus card pictured here uses only Bermuda Bay ink, card stock and ribbon. The saying comes from the Short & Sweet stamp set, which is then punched out with a large oval punch.

The Melon Mambo Medallion card is so simple - just stamped on Whisper White card stock with a Build-a-Brad in the center.

I used the 1/2-inch circle punch and Razzleberry Lemonade paper to punch out a flower, adhering it to the brad with a mini glue dot, then securing the clear bubble over the top.

The sentiment is from the Level 3 hostess set Kind & Caring Thoughts.

Circle Circus...

Circle Circus is a very versatile stamp set. With all of the different patterns, simply stamping them in different colors lends projects different looks.

The first card comes right out of the catalog. It's a great make & take. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, and the card stock colors are Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo.

The second card was made by Heather. She shows how easy it is to use our circle punches with this stamp set.

The designer paper is from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack. Then there are silver brads. The sentiment is from the hostess set, Wings of Friendship.

New In Color fun...

Have you seen the fabulous new In Colors? They rock!

At my stampin' retreat, I sat down with the new colors in card stock, designer paper, ribbons and ink, and cranked out enough new projects to fill two display boards.

Here are a few of the 3" x 3" love notes I made.
