One of my favorite things about the circle sayings bundle is that you can create cards for just about any occasion! The bundle also works well with a variety of other stamp sets and products! Let’s take a look at how I used the same card layout to create four different cards.
Circle Sayings Layout
First let’s talk about the basic layout for the cards. Start with a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 inch piece of cardstock. Score the 8-1/2 inch side at 4-1/4 inches to create the base of the card. The patterned paper layers include a 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 inch piece and a 3-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch piece to create the background. Matte out the patterned paper on a 3-3/4 x 5 inch piece of cardstock. Coordinate the cardstock colors with the patterned paper you are using. These cards feature the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. The focal point features the 2-3/8 inch circle shape from the Circle Sayings Bundle. It’s a super simple layout you can use over and over again to create cards for just about any occasion.
I used the same layout for each of the cards, I simply changed out the colors and the focal point. For example, the focal point on the first card features the stamped images from the Circle Sayings and Beautiful Balloons stamp set. Plus, I added a few Petal Park flowers around the circle.
The focal point for the second card features stamped images from the Circle Sayings stamp set too. However, this time I used the Alphabest stamp set to add the number “2” in the center. It’s a great way to personalize birthday or anniversary cards!
Beautiful Balloons
The last two card ideas feature the same layout as the first couple of cards. However, this time I used the half circle stamp image from the Beautiful Balloons to create the focal point for each of the cards. The “Let’s get our celebration on” fits on the 2-3/8 inch circle shape with some very simple maneuvering! So, be sure to watch the video for some tips on how to line up that half circle image so it stamps perfectly on that 2-3/8 inch circle shape.
I hope you enjoyed this simple card design and a look into how you can combine other products with the Circle Sayings Bundle to create some fabulous cards! For more card ideas featuring the Circle Sayings bundle, check out my patriotic cards HERE. Have a fun and creative day my friends! ~ Lynn
