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.

This birthday card uses a strip of 6 x 6 Brights (Granny Apple Green) Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst Card Stock embossed with the dot pattern from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive). I love how the 2 3/8-inch circle punch fits perfectly in the second largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
This bundle enables you to create a variety of cards and is compatible with different papers and colors. Here, it’s the Fresh as a Daisy 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

If you’re looking for a fun and versatile flower stamp set with a coordinating punch, Stampin’ Up!’s Petal Park Bundle meets and exceeds that expectation.

In this post, I include the finished product of what I’ve been creating in my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. The ideas start to flow when I get to playing. I hope you enjoy these and are inspired.
The card featured at the beginning of this post uses a fun fold. The how-to video at the end of this post gives the measurements and provides step-by-step instructions, showing you how I put this handmade greeting card together. This birthday card also uses a sentiment from Stampin’ Up!’s Go To Greetings, the “sprinkles” from the Beautifully Happy stamp set, and Enamel Dot Essentials Embellishments.
Here’s a look at the inside of the card.
I’ve created so many cards with the Regency Park 6 x 6 paper, I have some small pieces (strips left). They’re perfect for use with the card below. I pulled the sentiment from the Fragrant Flowers stamp set.
The flowers in the set work well with Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies. Aren’t they fun in this card below? The Regency Park 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper includes flower images that can be punched with the coordinating Petal Park Builder Punch. I grabbed the sentiment form the Something Fancy stamp set.
