Layered Circle Technique for Card Makers

2 Ways to Use the Layered Circle Technique in Card Making
In this video I have a super fun and simple card making technique to share with you! You will learn how to use layered circles to create a unique card design. And I have 2 different ways you can use this technique in your card making.
The cards in this video feature the Snowflake Splendor (Stampin’ Up!) Designer Series Paper and the Gnome for the Holidays (Stampin’ Up!) stamp set. However, you can use ANY stamp set or patterned papers you have on hand to create these cards.

Stunning. I’m so thankful that there are creative people who come up with these designs. Really grateful to people like you who teach us how to make them. Excellent demonstration.

[@StamptasticDesigns]

Thanks so much Debra!

[@sharonmoreau8793]

Thanks so much for sharing these instructions ,will definitely be doing this for Christmas . Sharon from Montreal Canada .

[@StamptasticDesigns]

You are very welcome. Have fun with this design!

[@wendywilson1736]

I think they are both neat. This will help me use up some ATC sized winter print papers that I've had for awhile. Since I'm cutting half circles anyway, I can use larger circle diameters, to make better use of the paper sizes. Thanks much!! I don't have that adorable gnome stamp. ☺️ But, I do have snow people stamps, so they will be cute, too.

[@anniekempton9193]

After watching ur video, I tried this but w/ a Valentine heart shape....o my goodness that turned out AWESOME!! Thanks soooooo much for sharing 😀

[@StamptasticDesigns]

Super! I am so happy to hear this! It's such a fun card design and works well with most supplies :)

[@VBoddicker]

I just made two cards using your instructions. Thank you!

[@jaytee2642]

That's the coolest! And to think that I almost didn't watch this video because the thumbnail made me think it was going to be VERY complicated! How wrong I was! It's easy to do and looks like it requires an engineering degree.😄 Great way to "wow" someone.👍🏻

[@EvelynKampf]

HI Lynn, I've just made kind of "sketches" for the two design in grey and black. And now I can use these sketches to create lots of different card with them by using all sorts of cardstock and DSP. GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Thanks for sharing. Your explanations are so good and I like the way you're presenting your ideas! Love from Germany and stay safe

[@StamptasticDesigns]

Super! This is such a fun card making technique! I plan to make a few birthday cards using this design! Thanks so much for your feedback. So happy to hear the instructions are helpful. Sending love from Wisconsin! Stay safe and healthy.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Lynn, these are both great. I like them both, but my preference is the first one. I think the designs would make for awesome masculine cards. Thanks so much. 😊
