I have always liked this card from page 75 of the catalogue. Now that I have the Circle Scissors Plus I can make my own version.





The Circle Scissors Plus can create circles from 1" to 16cm (and everything inbetween) so is an extremely versatile tool.

Materials:

Stamp sets: Wanted (currently reduced to $38.21) and Wonderful Favourites (currently reduced to $35.21)
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze
Inks: Not Quite Navy and Craft White
Accessories: Circle Scissors Plus, Glass Mat, 3/4" Circle Punch, Crop-a-dile, hemp twine, dimensionals and Urban Garden Designer Series Paper.

Have fun creating today.

Use Your Catalogue, No.2. From Stars To Jandals

The above card is copied from the Ideas Book and Catalogue, pg 141 and is a great layout and colour combination for boys.

With my version of the card from pg 141, I have used the Occasionally stamp set, currently reduced to $41.48, to produce a card that could also be used for a boy. I really like the use of the Whisper White Craft ink on a darker colour to create the stars. The hemp twine adds to the beach theme.

Try this layout at home today and see what you can produce. Remember the stamps and colours can be totally different, but keep the layout the same. You will be suprised at how good your result will be. I would love to see your version, so e-mail a photo through when you have finished.
