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.

The strip of Gold Glimmer card was then glued across the the card fronts.

From the 4” by 4” squares of Basic White I die cut 4 circles using the Everyday Details Dies. In the centre of each die cut circle I stamped the twiggy wreath in Early Espresso ink.

Using Sponge Daubers I added circles of colour around the twiggy wreath. I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis. Love these colours together.

The sentiment was stamped in the centre of each wreath in Early Espresso ink. The die cut decorated circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
