Cards made for the circle themed Christmas Stampathon challenge using the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and Sponge Daubers by Stampin' Up!

Circle themed card for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on January 26, 2024January 25, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards made for the January Christmas Stampathon. The theme for this month is ‘Circles’.

My first thought was the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, but I have used it so much that it felt a bit obvious. I was thinking about what to do and attempting to tidy up my desk when my hand fell on my box of sponge daubers………..and just like that I knew what I wanted to do. As per the rules of the challenge I have made 4 cards.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate 4 circle themed card, you will need:

Card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose 2 in Sweet Sorbet and 2 in Tahitian Tide
Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 8 – 4 for the insides
Gold Glimmer paper – 4” by 1” x 4
Basic White card – 4” by 4” x 4

You can never have too many circles when you have a circle theme so I used the dotty 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the 4 Basic White panels for the outside of the card. This panel was then adhered to the Early Espresso layer. I glued the piece to the card bases.
