Need a paper crafting kickstart? This week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO202) promises to inspire. Meanwhile, the seal may get tired balancing the birthday cake on his nose! He's from an adorable rubber stamp set called Under the Big Top (new in Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog). I love the simple circus images . . . perfect for paper piecing or coloring (for those who dare 🙂
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- Pennants are the rage. Today's sketch was an ideal opportunity to use the Stampin' Up! Petit Pennants Builder Punch and Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die.
- The decorative scallop circle is one of the die cuts on the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die. Such a multi-tasker!
- Isn't that striped texture on the Wisteria Wonder card stock luscious? The new Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is one of my new favorites!

Great card! Love the color combo, very cool. Seals and pennants and Bigz, Oh My! Keep up the great ideas!!!!
What a fun card with such pretty colors! I originally passed over this stamp set in the catalog, but you’ve showed us a couple of fun ideas already. Now I’ll have to add it to my ever growing wish list. I just love the new striped embossing folder. Is it difficult to get it lined up properly so your lines are nice & straight?
Perfect card for this sketch Mary. The colors are so bright and fun to fit the theme of the card.
Fabulous card – love the color combination!
