Sending a Warm Hello with Circle Sayings

 Greetings!

I was so excited when I saw the Circle Sayings bundle in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.  Any time there is a bundle that includes a great punch I am thrilled.  This allows those who don't have a die cut and emboss machine to still easily work with a fantastic set using the punch for the purpose of highlighting and layering images and sentiments.  It's a winning combination!

The Circle Sayings bundle is filled with wonderful imagery, and I don't know what it is, but I just LOVE when images and sayings are "in the round".  My inspiration for this card started by using one of the samples in the catalog that features this bundle, then changing it up a bit to make it my own.  


Isn't it fun!  I love having the focal point floating on this gorgeous background, and stamping the shells in the corner carries through the beachy vibe.    

The beautifully scenic background paper is from the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) and inspired the color palette for the circular image.  Two sheets of this DSP are printed with panels of various sizes of images and patterns to be cut out and used on your cards.  This is a fantastic feature and provides a great starting point for a card.
