Be Strong Circus Swap Card

Stampin up under the big top birthday card 2

One of the artistic highlights of the Stampin' Up! Convention this past week was a card swap with my Stampin' Pretty Pals.  I am thrilled with the "oo la la" talent and will be sharing many card samples with you!  Today's card is my personal contribution to the swap.  My favorite part is the Red Glimmer circles on the barbell!  It's just as fun with circles of designer series paper, too.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up under the big top circus rubber stamp punch Are you as glad as I am to have Tempting Turquoise 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon back in the Stampin' Up! line-up?
  • The funky circle rings add a touch of whimsy.  See my Circle Punch Rings Video Tutorial.
  • The tiny circle of Red Glimmer on the strong man's belt was cropped using the Owl Builder Punch.

  1. What a fun & whimsical card! Love the fun circle rings & new Big Top Paper. Tempting turquoise is one of my favorite colors and I love the combination with the real red. Just can’t go wrong with that combination. Thanks for sharing such a great card with us again today!

  2. Cute card. It reaffirms why this set was on my top ten list of items to buy from the new catalog. It was the seal that stole the show though. Thank you for your daily inspirations.

  3. Mary, I am in love with this little guy (or should I say big guy!) The glimmer paper is perfect for the barbell! I have been a little challenged with some of the bold patterns on the circus dsp, not anymore, you used it perfectly!

  4. Another great card, Mary. This set is on my wish list along with the matching dsp. I can use it for cards for my Sunday School children and for adults. Plus, I like that the sentiment can be split and the lower part used inside the card if I wish. Yes, I’m glad that the turquoise ribbon is back, but mine was always nearby since my retired items just change temporary locations! I can’t wait for you to share your swaps!
