Staggered Circle Dies Cards with Rachel and Lexa

Hello everyone!  It's Rachel here and today I am sharing a project that features the new Staggered Circle Die.

I decided to go with an underwater-themed card and used the cutout circles as shaker windows. To start, I first trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and then cut out the stitched windows with the Staggered Circle Die. I then blended a separate piece of smooth white card stock with some Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Sapphire) to go behind my top panel.

I used images from both the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids stamp sets and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers and used the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids die sets to cut them out. I adhered them to the ink blended panel after lining up the windows and deciding where I wanted to place them.

I then glued a piece of acetate over each of the windows (except for the top left one) and added some clear 3mm sequins and white seed beads for my embellishments. I used some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape to give my shaker elements room to move.

I cut a piece of Velum Paper with one of the Wavy Border Dies and glued it within my top circle to make my dolphin look like he's popping out of the water. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto black card stock and added it to the front of my card.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card featuring Staggered Circle Dies. This time I use the circles to highlight sentiments, it's even more stand out with the bright colors. Let's get started!

I stamped the whole herd from Barnyard Buddies Stamps with Versafine black ink and then watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut each pieces and get ready to arrange them on my card. I use Staggered Circle Dies on a piece of 4.25"x5.5" white cardstock.

I color the negatives with red, orange and yellow use Distress Inks (Barn Door, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade) and then stamp the sentiments from the same stamp set. I blend Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the sky, as for the grass I use Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. A red gingham patterned paper for accent on the bottom part of my card and some red twines too. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy today's blog post and have an amazing day!
