DT bastel-traum.ch Challenge November

Good morning everyone,

it's time for the bastel-traum.ch Challenge with the new theme «Shaped cards».
The challenge runs until December 15th, 8:55 am CET.



I created a circle card for Christmas.

When I bought some patterned tapes (actually for gift wrapping) I immediately knew
I wanted to create a card background with them. I adhered them to white cardstock leaving just a little gasp between each strip. Then I cut out a circle using one of my Spellbinders dies. I also cut a round card base with the same circle die without cutting the top where the fold is meant to be. I adhered my panel with an angle so the strips are orientated diagonally. Since I love deers on my holiday cards, I cut two of those cuties using the «Deer Trio» dies from Impression Obsession. Because of the big pattern in the background I decided to add a vellum circle before attaching them to my card. I went a bit crazy with die cutting on this card ;o) and created this gorgeous white frame with the Marianne Design Craftables «Circle & Flower Stitch» die and another Spellbinders circle. For my sentiment I cut a banner with a Simon Says Stamp «Small Folded Banner» die out of red cardstock. I slightly curved my text stamp (Stampin' Up!) to fit the banner and heat embossed it in white. I adhered it using foam tape. To finish my card I added some metallic red sequins ans white enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
