I finally got a chance to try "circle" stamping with the
Stamparatus, and was really thrilled with the outcome. Look at this:
Look at that gorgeous wreath!
I started with a template that I made from a 6" x 6" square. I then took the largest Layering Square Framelit and cut one square smack in the middle, and then rotated it 90 degrees and cut again, creating a hexagon shape in the middle.
Then I took another of the same largest square framelits and cut another piece of Whisper White. I fit it in the template and stamped the Lovely Lipstick flowers from Tropical Chic. I rotated the piece of paper in the template, using every other corner for the Lovely Lipstick flowers and then did it again with Mango Melody. I loved the effect!
The sentiment is from
Eastern Beauty, and stamped in
Garden Green ink. I fussy cut around the flowers to create the wreath.
This is a pocket card - I cut the
Mango Melody base at 5-1/2" x 11" and scored it at 4-1/2" and 9". This gave me a 2" flap to create the pocket. Before adhering it closed, I ran it through the
Tufted embossing folder. So pretty!
The inside pull-out is 4-1/2" x 5-1/4". I put a little tab on the top so it can be easily pulled out.
For the card front, I cut a piece of
Garden Green and used the
Trio corner punch on the top corner. Then I made a bellyband from the
Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper. The leaves were stamped and/or cut with the Tropical Chic sets and the Tropical thinlits.
I'm traveling at the moment but will put together a tutorial for the Stamparatus circle stamping technique when I get home. It's so easy, and such fun!
