Layered Circles, Version 2

Here's another Layered Circle version. This one uses the Stitched Shapes Dies, but you don't use both halves of these circles for this version.  You can actually almost make 2 cards from this set of circles!  Love the colors!! Love how it turned out!!  Thank you to do demo that figured, and shared this one! Share what color combos you come up with!

Measurements:  

  • Basic Gray : 1/2 sheet
  • In Good Taste DSP(N): 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Pacific Point: 3 3/4" square, 1 5/8" square
  • Bermuda Bay: 2 3/4" square, 2 1/8" square
  • Granny Apple Green: 2 3/4" square, 2 1/8" square
  • Daffodil Delight: 3 3/4" square, 1 5/8" square

To Make this Card:

  • Attach DSP to folded Basic Gray Card.
  • Cut Largest and Smallest Stitched Circle from Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point.
  • Cut 2 Medium circles from Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green.  You should now have 8 circles total!
  • Set the Smallest circles aside.  These do NOT get cut in half.  
  • Cut the remaining circles (6 total) in half.  You will only need half of each of these circles, so set half (6) aside.
  • Make one semi-circle by starting with Largest Pacific Point, then add the next sized Bermuda Bay to the far right side of the circle, with straight edges UP, then add the next sized Granny Apple.
  • Then, make the other semi-circle.  Start with the Daffodil Delight, Add the next sized Granny Apple to the far right side of the circle, with straight edges UP, then add the next sized Bermuda Bay.

Layered Circles

 I've been wanting to try this technique for a while, so finally got to it to share at my Downline ;meeting on Sunday! It's called Layered Circles and is really fun and easy to do!  Stay tuned for some more twists on this technique!  



Measurements:  

  • Basic Black: 1/2 sheet, 1' x 4"
  • Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Cajun Craze: 3 1/8" square, scrap
  • Calypso Coral:2 5/8" square, scrap
  • Mango Melody: 2 18" square, scrap
  • Daffodil Delight: 1 1/4" square, scap
To Make this Card:

  • Cut 4 circles from 4 different colors using every other die, starting with the largest, and ending with the smallest.
  • Cut each circle in half. Arrange each half by matching the far left (or right) side and having it even along the cut edge. Repeat for other half.
  • Arrange on card base.  I used Whisper White. You can either butt up the cut edge to the black strip of cardstock, or I actually placed the cut edge under the Black strip about 1/8".
  • Then, cut out your chosen "word" from the Playful Alphabet.  I mounted my pieces of cardstock to a piece of Foam Adhesive.  Love that dimension!!  Attach to black strip.
  • Finish with some scattered gems or sequins and mount to folded Basic Black card.

  • Cut 2 large and 1 small “leaf” from Copp
