Circle of Spring

Circle of Spring.0316I LOVE it when a plan comes together!  This card turned out beautifully!  If you like the picture, it’s even better in person!  🙂

I saw a similar card and just had to try it.  I love the way the center of the wreath is cut out on both the background piece and the wreath itself.  It’s really striking when you pop up the wreath with dimensionals.

Another thing I love….my new favorite punch….the Curvey Corner Trio Punch!  It just adds so much to a card.  It’s the perfect finish to a card.

This Circle of Spring stamp set has 6 different sentiments which makes it perfect for any occasion.  Guess what?  I’m going to use my favorite stamping word….COORDINATION!  Yep…The Circle of Spring stamp set coordinates with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  Woo Hoo!  Coordination!

I have a great tip for you when you use the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  Instead of stamping your image first you want to die cut the middle of the wreath.  There’s a little “arrow” on the framelit.  Note which direction it’s pointing when you die cut the center.  Now you want to line up the stamp with the “arrow” on the stamp pointing in the same direction the framelit “arrow” pointed.  This should make it easy-peasy to line up the stamp around the die cut center!  If you stamp first and then try to line up the center framelit you can’t really see where things go.  The first time I tried this I was amazed at how much easier it went.  Give it a try!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
