Today I’m sharing a Stampin’ Up! Dotted Circles Card Tutorial that really brings on the sunshine! Oh, how fun it was painting Wink of Stella “glitter” on the larger embossed dots (Stampin’ Up! Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder). Could the “Wink” possibly pair any better with the “glitter” reference in the sentiment (Happiest Day Stamp Set)?

As a bonus to today’s Dotted Circles Card Tutorial, I prepared a 1 Minute to WOW! video to demonstrate how I added a “Wink” of glitter to the embossed areas.
WHAT I LOVE! I discovered that when the sentiment is cropped with the Labeled with Love Punch (one of My Favorite Things) it fits neatly inside the 2 3/8” Circle Punch. Such a cool look and combo!
