Circle Sayings Card Class, Card 1

Circle Sayings Warm Hello Card

My Weekly Card Class From ME happens to showcase a pretty basic feature: circles. Our focus this week is the Circle Sayings Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. Need more info on this class? Click here.

It is no secret that I love circle punches. In fact, I have a large collection of them. For my first card in this series, Circle Sayings Warm Hello, I was so excited to play with a brand new circle punch, the 2-3/8″ one!

A Warm Hello To Boho Blue

This first card in my Weekly Card Class From ME also features a brand new color: Boho Blue. This is just 1 of 5 of the 2023-2025 In Colors by Stampin’ Up!. This beautiful blue is found in the Countryside Inn DSP collection. Shop for this paper pack here!

These trendy In Colors (IN for just 2 years and replaced by something even more IN vogue) are something to take note of. And this gorgeous blue does not disappoint! When compared to Balmy Blue, another soft core color, Boho takes on a periwinkle hue, looking slightly more purple. I am in love.

Sunshine and Blue Skies

I love that the stamps in the Circle Sayings Stamp Set feature sentiments and images. And I used both on my 2-3/8″ Circle Punch for my card. While I stamped most of these images in another new In Color, Wild Wheat, I also added some ink with Blending Brushes to do some quick and easy coloring (my favorite kind!).

While playing with color options as I designed my card, I tried 2 different color sets. The one on the left has Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue, with the Small Blending Brushes. The one on the right (which is used on my card) has Lemon Lolly and Boho Blue, using the regular sized Blending Brushes. Check out the ink on these blending brushes for huge differences in tones!
