I decided to make a circle card but with a fun twist - I made it into a doughnut shaped card. It is so much fun and because my son loves pink sprinkled doughnuts I had to make it pink lol! It's only a dinky 4 1/4" diameter but it makes it even more adorable. I hope you love it too.
Here is my shaped card:
A closer look:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by making a 5" x 5" card base from white card and used the largest of my new nesting circle die set to cut out my circle card base. I also cut a circle from kraft card to place on the front on my card. I cut out the next circle down from the die set from pink card and traced a wobbly outline with pencil and cut it out with my scissors for the icing of my doughnut (I should have cut it a little bigger so that the kraft card wasn't showing quite so much but I still think it looks great). I took one of the smaller circles in the set (approx 1 1/2" diameter) and cut the doughnut hole from the card base, the kraft circle and the pink circle. I adhered the kraft circle with liquid glue and the 'icing' with foam squares. I was thinking about what to use for the sprinkles when I saw a die on my desk from a previous project that I thought would be perfect - a film strip die - the bits that fell out of the die cut were the perfect size and shape. I cut out multiples from pink, blue, yellow and white card and added them randomly on the icing with liquid glue. I added some crystal glaze to the sprinkles so that they would stand out and look dimensional. I stamped the sentiment onto white card and cut it out with a sentiment strip die, adhered it with foam squares and then added a cute twine bow above it with liquid glue. For the inside I cut another smaller circle from white card, again cutting the doughnut centre, stamped a small sentiment on either side in black ink and then adhered this to my card base with liquid glue. I added a few of the sprinkles around the sentiment too. I did cut a small piece off the back of the card base so that my card would stand up straight without toppling over. This card really makes me smile and I hope it makes you smile too.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
