Circle Sayings Easter Card
In today’s post, I share a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Circle Sayings Bundle. Find it in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Since the catalog launched in May of last year, I’ve been using Circle Sayings a lot. In fact, I made it a goal to create a card for every holiday. So, here’s my Easter version. In addition, I use stamps from the Easter Bunny stamp set, also found in the Annual Catalog.
Note: If you love this set and don’t have these sets, grab them soon. Both are being retired to make room for new Stampin’ Up! product. The coordinating 2 3/8-inch Circle Punch is a carryover item.
Here’s the inside of the card:

With my Christmas card projects behind me, I’m ready to start crafting for the next holiday: Valentine’s Day! And, I’m using some brand-new products from Stampin’ Up! Look for them in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog that launches Thursday, January 4, 2024.
These cards all have one product in common: the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. Be sure to watch the video below. From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I show you how cool this embossing folder and coordinating dies are. This combo offers so many options and choices. This post also shows a total of five card samples.

Are you looking for a versatile stamp set and punch bundle? Stampin’ Up!’s Circle Sayings Bundle (page 17 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog) offers a great variety of images and sentiments to cover the most common occasions. And, pair it with other images in your stash, and the possibilities are endless.
In today’s post, I continue my Christmas in July series using the Circle Sayings Bundle which includes the Circle Sayings stamp set and teh 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. (Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent.) The first card includes a sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set. And, believe it or not, the sentiments are not heat embossed with gold. They are stamped with Stampin’ Up!’s new In Color, Wild Wheat. I love how Wild Wheat looks like gold; it’s a must-have color for fall and winter crafting.
