Hello! This is Sukie and today I have a super fun card to share! There's another new die release in the store with some spectacular Circus themed sets. They are perfect for all types of occasions! I'm showcasing a couple of the new die sets on my card!
I used colored card stock for my die cuts from the Build-A-Burger and Circus Snacks die sets. The die cuts were inked on the edges for added dimension. I printed out the sentiment on my computer and used the Nested Wacky Stitched Oval to cut it out.The adorable paper for my card base is from the DCWV Good Eats stack and it was layered on a red background. The paper coordinated perfectly with my die cuts.Wednesday, January 20, 2021

Circus Birthday!
Hello Friends
I have three little ones to make cards for and they love bright happy cards. So this fun new release fits the bill! It just screams vibrant colors especially the wonderful primary colors. Today, I have used 5 of the new dies to make this cute side step card.
Here is my card to share with you today!
I started my card by cutting all of the pieces out using the Leaping Lion, Balancing Elephant, Circus Tent, Circus Side Show and Circus Signs. Assemble them and then make your side step base. Use some cloud DP and green card stock to cover the base.
Glue the pieces to the base arranging them as you wish and your card is complete.

Missing You
Hi!
It's Anja here. I have another card for you today. This time I made it with a window and a cute lion on the other side.
Next I cut another two windows and the lion. I color all the pieces and glued it together.
Then I cut out the window using a cutting knife.
Then I put a piece of foil between two windows and glued it together. Before that I folded the smaller parts of the window so that I can glued the window to the background.
Next I colored the background directly to the card base. I used a plastic stencil to color the sky.
Then I used a bit of color to emphasize the edges of the background. I also shaded around the edges of the open window.
After that I added the sentiment.
That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.
Anja Z.

Ringmaster of My Heart
Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today and I have another Valentine's card for you. However, this would also be wonderful for an anniversary or just an "I love you" card. I adore the new release of Circus dies; they make for some really fun cards! And they are on sale right now for a limited time!
I started by cutting my Ringmaster from white cardstock and coloring the face, hands and hair with Distress Oxide inks.For his suit, hat, megaphone and staff, I used various colors of cardstock including gold foil for the top of his staff.I assembled the Ringmaster.
I used a stencil and Daffodil Delight ink to create a background. I wanted a burst and although this is a sun burst I knew the sun would get covered up.
Using the largest of the Wacky Stitched Oval Dies I cut an oval from my stenciled background. I also cut an A2 panel from Poppy Parade (a red-orange color) and a white panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches.
Next I heat embossed my sentiment in white and created a banner by fishtailing the ends of the strip.
I assembled all the elements on the card. With its bright colors and fun theme this makes for a very happy card!
