Clear and Simple Stamps Meets Caardvarks

Clear & Simple Stamps is the sponsor for the latest challenge at Caardvarks. The challenge is to make a circle-shaped card.


I went 3-D for my holiday themed circle card. I used a few scalloped circles, cut from shimmery red paper, to create this ornament card. The card base is a pair of scalloped circles, cut so they’re still attached at the top. The rest of the card was constructed by folding 3 more scalloped circles in half, then attaching the folded sections to one another. Easy to do—but hard to photograph!

The snowflake image from the Cookie Bake stamp set is stamped on the folded circles using silver ink for even more shimmer. I used a scrap of silver cardstock to fashion a “hanger” for the ornament. I embellished it with a silver button-embellished bow.

We hope you’ll join us and play along in the challenge. You can link your entry at the Caardvarks blog.

Materials Used:
Cookie Bake stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); silver ink (Encore); red shimmery paper (Target); silver paper, silver cord (Stampin’ Up!); scalloped circle die (Nestabilities); Pure Poppy button (Papertrey Ink); silver ribbon (Michaels)
