Tuesday Tips/Tricks: Circle Design Technique

Tuesday Tips/Tricks: Circle Design Technique

Using the Botanical Textures 12” X 12” DSP #165545

Any pattern paper would look great with this technique.

1. Choose a circle punch ((I’m using the 2-3/8” circle punch. This gives a more noticeable circular shape to play with. Slide the point on the corner of the paper all the way into punch until tip reaches the other side of circle punch. Punch out the circular shapes on two corners of pattern paper.

2. Once you have created circular shapes you are ready to put together the design. I cut both ends of circles out at same time to make it easier to mix and match the patterns.

3. Start by adhering each of the 5-1/4” X 4” then add the corners. Create your sentiments as desired. I used my Stampin Write marker to add a tad more color to the one.

Give it a try and mix up your own designs. Simple yet intricate design.

Tips / Tricks: How to re-ink pads

Tuesday Tips/Tricks: How to re-ink pads.

Is your ink pad looking a little dry? Let’s fix that!

Refreshing your ink pad is super easy! Just add a few drops of ink refill across the surface, then use the tip of the bottle to spread it evenly. For the final mix, simply press a stamp around the pad to distribute the ink—good as new! No more uneven stamping or faded impressions!

 

Day Four Raleigh, NC. - Onstage

Last day in Raleigh before heading back home tomorrow, was not short of a day filled with all the things. Feeling rather worn out. The trip has been enjoyable as usual. I appreciated reconnecting with friends, participating in dance parties, learning about new craft ideas, and more. Stampin' Up! Team deserves praise for successfully managing an event with 2800 participants.

These two ladies defitanly kept me on my toes. 

So much fun was had by both. 

So glad we decided to go explore this cute little chocolate factory. 

Today was a truly amazing and fun-filled day. Following our registration check-in,

we had the opportunity to visit the Videri chocolate factory during our downtime.

The day also included encounters with numerous inspirational ladies,
