PTI January Blog Hop Challenge - Round & Round

Time for another PTI blog hop.  This time the challenge is to use a never before or seldom used stamp set.  I selected the Anniversary set Round & Round, maybe used once.  If the card looks familiar that's because the layout is from one of Maile's cards in the original release of Mat Stack 3 that inspired me.


The card is an A2 using Simply Chartruese cardstock.  I then adhered paper from Cosmo Crickets Early Bird collection after cutting the Mat Stack 3 die out of the front.  I punched two circles, a 2" from Dark Chocolate cardstock and a 1.75" from Ocean Tides.  I stamped the image from Round & Round in VersaMark Dazzle on the Ocean Tides and added gems.  The punches were layered and adhered to the card.  This card was being sent to one of my friends for her birthday so I kept it as flat as possible for mailing.  The sentiment was stamped on the card in Dark Chocolate and is from Communique Sentiments also first time used.

I have been trying to add a little something to the inside of all my cards.  In this case I stamped the border from Round & Round and the flower from Beautiful Blooms II in the VersaMark Dazzle.  I added a little pattern paper to the center of the flower and stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Basics in Dark Chocolate.


I couldn't ignore the envelope so I used more of the Cosmo Cricket pattern paper to line the envelope using the Envelope Liner die.

I hope you enjoy the hop!
