Hi there! Every once and a while I crave a simple, graphic design using simple geometric shapes. Today’s project was inspired by the incredible work of Leon Polk Smith.
I used the Nested Circles dies to create this inspired pattern. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Grateful sentiment strips.
Here’s a short reel showing how I made this card.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun, circle pattern design created using strips of cardstock and a circle die.
The idea for this fun, striped circle pattern came from this gorgeous quilt pattern that I came across on Pinterest.
Isn’t this an incredible quilt pattern? Here’s another great pic. You can find more of Lisa Hofmann-Maurer’s amazing work HERE.
I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock to 1/4″ and adhered them to a panel. Then I cut the strips out using a circle die. The sentiment is from the Take Note stamp set.
I have a quick little reel showing the process below.

Hi there! Today I had the honor of joining Heidi, the owner of Simon Says Stamp, for a YouTube live featuring products from the latest Hello Gorgeous Release.
I created a project on the live featuring the Stained Glass Bird Stencil & Die. I used several Pawsitively Saturated Inks to blend color on the bird as well as the leaves, which were cut using the Olive Leaves dies.
I used one of the Nested Circle dies to create a circle frame and one of the Reverse Foundations Sentiment Strips for the sentiment.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful, geometric project created using nested circle dies.
I used die cut several circles out of solid colored cardstock and pieced them back together mixing and matching the colors. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse And Back Again sentiment strips.
Below is the gorgeous print that I saw on Pinterest that was my inspiration for this design.
Here is a video to show how I created this card.

Hi there! Popping in to share a quick peek at the latest Gina K Designs STAMPtember® 2021 Exclusive Collaboration called Shimmering Snowflakes. This set is unfortunately already sold out, but I share these STAMPtember® projects as inspiration for ideas that you can use with products that you might already have. Perhaps you already have a snowflake stamp set. This could very well be adapted to any larger solid image that could be embossed in white onto vellum.
I used the Nested Circle dies with solid colored cardstock to draw the eye towards the snowflake. The snowflake was embossed in white onto vellum and the sentiment embossed in white onto black. I used one of the Sentiment Label dies to cut out the sentiment strip.
There’s more incredible inspiration over on the Simon Says Stamp blog using this gorgeous new set! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few super simple graphic projects that use very limited supplies. You probably have everything you need to make these today!
I was inspired by some beautiful art that I’ve seen by Andy Westface and others on Pinterest HERE and HERE.
I created circle masks using the Nested Circle dies and blended the color using Altenew inks.
For the mountains I simply masked off the angles using post-it tape.
For the sentiments I trimmed some of the Sentiment Strips-All Things Happy.
For the card below I embossed a sentiment from the CZ Simple Sentiments No. 1 set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Hi there! Today I have a simple little tag to share. Sometimes you just need a little tag to put on a gift without all the fuss. Rudolph’s got ya covered:)
I used the one of the Large Tag dies with some pattern paper included in the November Card Kit. Then I die cut the CZ Ho Ho Deer Circle die into the tag. This die is also included in the November Card Kit. I die cut the deer again with kraft cardstock and rounded the bottom of the deer’s neck using one of the Nested Circle Dies. I also die cut a few more of the deer using white cardstock to layer onto the nose and colored the top nose & eyes with Copics. I added glossy accents to the nose and stamped a sentiment from the CZ Tabbed Sentiments Holiday set.
I almost popped this tag up onto a card, but I really wanted to show how cute it is on it’s own. I just love the open space and glossy nose. You can see more fun inspiration using the November Card Kit HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
