NEW Circlet MTF Line! PLUS, Challenge 230 Good Goes Around!

Hello, Ai Fans!

Good things go around! Today, we are introducing our new Circlet Mini TryFolds, an extension of our popular three-panel revealing line! Watch as our new circle-based scenes are great for unique interactive ideas, such as rotating circles, book folds, and flip cards! Check out our four new stamp and die sets featuring beautiful outdoor scenes such as our Lighthouse, Cabin, and Cottage sets, and a bursting Birthday set complete with cake and balloons! Expand your TryFold collection and grab all four sets at artimpressions.com!

Today we have a fabulous tutorial by Diane for an inventive way to use these new circular stamps!

Hello friends! You are probably familiar with using the MTF sets to create fun trifold cards so when I made my Circlet cards, I created 4 different card styles to give you extra ideas. Here I used the Birthday Circlet MTF to create a flip card. Keep checking back the next few weeks to see the other 3 card styles I made!

I used the Sizzix Circle Card Flip-its #2 dies to cut my card base and layers but there are tutorials to make flip cards if you want to cut & score your own. I colored and die cut all 3 images with the matching dies included in the set. I also used some Spellbinders circle dies to cut around them. Then I layered the first two onto the front of the circle-shaped part that flips. I cut very skinny pieces of foam tape to place around the edge of the balloon image and pop it up a bit.

Normally the third image would be peeking through from behind the other two but this time I adhered it to the other side.

Here's a few close-ups.

Such a nice sentiment! (a 2 3/8" circle die is perfect to cut this out)

Now it’s your turn to break out your favorite stamps, make a card, and join us in the “Good Goes Around” Challenge! Happy stamping!

Thanks, Diane! What a fabulous card!
