Have you ever heard of Creative Circles? How can we make paper crafting fun this week? So many people are feeling like they are running in circles these days, so I decided to explore the positive and negative aspects of circles and use an easy technique to make not one but two handmade cards!
There’s no time like the present to introduce a fun technique to Mystery Stamping, and of course, I want you to join in on the fun, too! To get started you need a circle punch or craft die, a blending brush or sponge, stamps, ink, and cardstock.
How To Use Creative Circles In Card Making: Video Tutorial
To create the template with your circles, you can use vellum, printer paper, or cardstock. I used Vellum cardstock with a 2-3/8” circle punch but use what you have.
Do you like this technique of making creative circles and using the positive and negative space?

Cris Witker says
Thank You for another great Mystery Monday!!
I know all about Matt but somehow missed the memo on Chad. Who is Chad and where did he come from.
Sharon Armstrong says
I am thrilled you enjoyed this week’s Mystery Cards! Matt got lonely so Chad came along! When I was doing the Rose Gold and Black Cards there were a lot of bits and I called them Chad! If you missed those cards you can see them here https://txstampin.com/diy-mothers-day-card-tutorial/
Cris says
Oh my…I did miss this wonderful video.
I have that foil paper. Got glue all over a project. Now I know how to use this paper. Thank You Sharon. I also love the addition of Chad. Matt and Chad make the perfect couple!!
Sharon Armstrong says
I am glad I pointed you to that video and that it was helpful to you! I am not sure what kind of Shenanigans those two will get into so we will keep an eye on them!!! LOL
