STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
Rows of 1" circle punches create a quick and pretty background. I used Stampin' Up!'s Circle Circus stamps to jazz them up.- The trick to tying 5/8" grosgrain? Tie your knot but tighten on one side (for me it's the left) while holding the other side steady. Ahhhhh. Much better.
- A Stampin' Up!' Build-A-Brad allowed me to create a custom center for my sentiment. The pattern in the middle is cropped with a 1/2" Circle Punch and is a perfect fit.

Another beautiful card, Mary! Love how you used Circle Circus for this! So pretty!
I had to bail on this one- just couldn’t pull these colors together for some reason?! Fun use of Circle Circus too!
Love this card! You do great work!
Beautiful! I would never have thought of using those colors, even though I absolutely adore all three.
So gorgeous!!! I love that stamp set, and just can’t figure out what to do with it. This helps trigger my creative side… Thanks Mary. Hugs
Love the card Mary! I used Circle Circus for my PPA11 challenge as well – I love that stamp set! I also really like how you were able to get the “Celebrate You” perfectly in the scallop punch!
As always, perfection. 🙂
The Build-a-Brad is a great touch! Super bow, too! I have a problem getting my knots just right! Great job, as always!
Cute, cute, cute! Makes me want to break out my circle punches! XO
Beautiful card, Mary! I love Circle Circus, as you’ve probably guessed by now. The Build-a-Brad and ribbon give your card its stunning finishing touches! Love how you packaged the blog candy too!
Very cute! Love the added build-a-brad. It’s the perfect touch for a perfect card. Nice work as always Mary!
What fun colors! And such a perfect knot!
These colors scream fall and Halloween to me and you made them look springlike and new – how did you do that? Love the card!
I didn’t even realize that the Celebrate You fit perfectly into the scallop punch until I saw this card.
How cool!
Love the colors–fresh and vibrant. Great card.
