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.
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.
