I had fun playing with Circle Punches today. There was a card similar to this I had saved from a while back. For a Club card I wanted a fun and simple card. This I believe fit the bill.

STAMPS

There are two different stamp sets used on the front of the card. The sentiment is a really fun way to wish a Happy Birthday. It is from a new, and stand alone, stamp set named Encircled With Love. It does coordinate, but not bundled together, with the New Circle Punch that is 1 7/8″. But it is not available yet. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea Ink to coordinate with the background DSP.

The second stamp used are the trio of balloons. I have used these balloons several times as they are just perfect for celebrations. They are part of the Spring Corners Bundle that is an Online Exclusive. They are used again on the inside along with a sentiment from that set. Here is a look at the inside.

Dies, Punches, & Embossing

As I mentioned regarding stamps, I have used the matching Die from the Spring Corners Bundle to cut the balloons for the front of the card. The other front layers are from Punches. The circles are created with both the 2″ Circle Punch and the 1 3/4 Circle Punch. Both of these are available as Online Exclusives

To add more texture to the card, I added some dry embossing. The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder is one that goes with almost any project. I was so happy when it carried over to the new catalog.

PAPERS

This color scheme is one I was very happy to have stumbled upon. The Pretty In Pink has become a go to for pink. And pairing it with the new Secret Sea is a great match. This new color is versatile. It looks black, or maybe dark navy, or a little grayish. Definitely there are varying shades depending on what it is paired with. I love it! I did add the new Cloud Cover as a color for one of the balloons as it is the light color in the DSP.

EXTRAS

The last Extra is of course the bling. There have been a lot of extras mentioned, but the bling is always important. For this one I added some that I love and then discovered they have sold out. So Sad. 🙁 These are the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I used the matching ones for Pretty In PInk on the dark circle.
