Smile, with Circle Sayings

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

A big thank you to Tamara Bertram for the inspiration for this card today. I just loved the layout of her card, so I used it as a card sketch, switching up the DSP for a different look. Then I did a variation on a theme for the second card. 

I used the Inked Botanicals DSP for my cards. It's a whole different feel, isn't it. You can see a video tutorial of this card on my YouTube Channel. 

I love the way you can combine the stamps from this stamp set. 

Measurements for Card 1:

Very Vanilla Thick 5 1/2" by 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla Cardstock cut 2 - 3 1/2" by 4 3/4", punch 1circle 2 3/8"
Lost Lagoon Cardstock cut 2 - 3 5/8" by 4 7/8"
Vertical DSP 1 3/8" by 4 1/2"
Floral DSP 2 1/4" by 3 1/4", 3" by 6" for envelope flap

On my second card, I switched up a number of items, and kept others the same. 

I used yet another variation with the sentiments inside this card. 

Measurements for Card 2:

Lost Lagoon Cardstock 4 1/4" by 11", scored at 5 1/2', Deckled Circle 2 1/2" diameter
Very Vanilla Cardstock cut 2 - 4" by 5 1/4"; punch 1 circle 2 1/4" diameter
Lost Lagoon DSP 1 1/2" by 4 1/2", 3" by 6" for envelope flap
Bright Floral DSP 3 1/2" by 4 1/2"

You can shop for the products used to make these cards with a couple exceptions in my online store. For the second card I used a retired 2 1/4" punch, and "soon available" Deckled Circle Die. The Deckled Circles Dies are available September 6, 2023.  For a complete list of products used, see My Projects on my web page.
