Use nested circle dies to create this greeting card from coloured paper or card
I recently got a set of nested circle dies and had an idea of putting random circles onto a greeting card. It didn't quite turn out how I imagined but I am pleased with the result. It's really quite a chirpy card.
It's such a generic style card so could be used as a greeting for anyone. Also if you have square, rectangle or star shaped dies, you can use them to create a similar card.
Follow the below link to find out how the card was made
You will need
- A6 white base card
- Coloured card or paper (I used sheets from Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper pack by Lawn Fawn)
- Dotty patterned paper (mine came from the Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper pack by Lawn Fawn)
- 3 circle dies of graduating sizes (I used a 2 cm, 3 . 5 cm and a 5 cm circle die)
- Happy Birthday white peel off
- Small white birthday peel off images (mine were on the peel off sheet with the greeting)
- Glue
- Die cutting machine
- Guillotine
- Cover the front of the white base card with dotty paper
- Die cut 3 different sized circles from various colours of paper or card. I cut some from yellow, pink, orange, blue and green.
- Put the greeting onto one of the largest circles
- Lay the circles onto the base card until you are happy with the layout. They can overlap each other but just make sure the greeting can be fully seen. I put my greeting circle in the bottom right of the card
- Carefully glue the circles into place
- Stick a few birthday peel-off images to some of the circles
