This Encircled In Beauty You’re the Best Card is made with the Encircled in Beauty Dies which are retiring on May 2, 2022. They are such pretty dies I can’t believe they are leaving! You can use one or more die cuts for the card front. There are several to choose from of different sizes in the package.
The card base is Basic White. I originally thought I would use Granny Apple Green but it seemed like too much. The designer paper, this Granny Apple Green floral page, is from the Host Stampin’ Reward that has been available in this current catalog. It is called Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and was available if you had purchased at least $150 on your order for the cost of $18. However, there is something similar in the new catalog called Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper. The catalog description is incorrect. The catalog states the quantities of Design a Daydream 12″ x 12″ Host Designer Series Paper as 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. This is incorrect. The correct quantities are 48 sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. I loved my Pattern Party Designer Paper so I’m looking forward to the new designer paper for a Host order.
Using the Enriched In Beauty Dies I cut out a Basic White larger one and a smaller Daffodil Delight and layered them. I also used a retired 1 1/2″ Circle Punch to make a Basic White center. I actually thought it kind of looked like a fancy flower and I almost added a stem and leaves to make it look like a flower!
The ribbon is the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon that I used for a bow, but I colored it first with a Dark Daffodil Stampin’ Blends Marker. Just make sure you have scrap paper underneath the ribbon because the color is likely to bleed through to the other side. I tied the bow and adhered it to the card with a Glue Dot.
Since the Genial Gems are retiring (also discounted!), I used a few of those up by the greeting and around on the card. The greeting is stamped from the Encircled in Friendship Stamp Set, which is retired and no longer available apparently.
Check out the Last Chance List in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store before more products disappear! As I write this the fancy Enriched in Beauty Dies are still available and then you can use them with a variety of other products. Here is a card I made previously with the die set and stamps that might give you another idea.
Time to shop! Time is running out!
