Casology, Dynamic Duos and Simon Says Stamp and Show







I have a card today for this week's CASology #33:  Circle and Dynamic Duos DD#41.  I used PTI colors of Ocean Tides and Aqua Mist and added kraft and white as my neutrals.  My dear friend, Kim, is the Guest Designer at CASology this week, and when I saw her card and she wrote about her Spellbinders dies, I knew just what direction I would head in.

I took several different sizes of spellbinder circle dies and cut out lots of different circles, and then moved them around endless times to get what I thought looked like a random pattern.  I did make small cuts in some of the open circles, so I could intertwine them, and then hid the cut parts under another circle.  I think I read somewhere that curves like lines or something like that, so I used a herringbone embossing folder on the raised panel with all the circles.





My next card is for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge, which is to use "the stamp you love (but don't use)...I chose to use the Hero Arts Starbursts stamp, which was on my wish list for about a year before I bought it.  Since then, it has been sitting in a box.....  I recently got some new colors of Zing embossing powder, and I thought they would be fun with this stamp.  I used Ranger Black Enamel Accents for the centers of the starbursts.

  5. Joyce...all of your cards are so pretty but I particularly like the one you have submitted to SSSS this week! That Starbursts stamp done in Zing embossing powders against that black background is just amazing! I know how you feel about just HAVING to have a stamp and then it sits in a box! :) I think we are ALL guilty of that! Anyway, your card is lovely and you've done the stamp proud! Thanks for sharing your card with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

  26. These cards are super beautiful and I especially love the circles. Would you be able to tell me what the product number is for them. I see plenty of Spellbinder circles on the web, but none that fit the design you used. Thanks so very much, jackiei@rogers.com
