Introducing Background Basics: Circles

Hey there! Welcome to day 1 of the Papertrey Ink November Countdown. Today I'm super excited to be sharing with you a couple samples using my new set for this month, Background Basics: Circles...

Background Basics: Circles

  • features 6 background strips and 6 individual images/fillers
  • will retail for $24
  • can be purchased through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th

Now, how about a couple samples?!...Fist up a super simple creation without a stitch of embellishment. I stamped this single background strip across the card in a color combo of Smokey Shadow, Summer Sunrise & Sweet Blush.Stamped a couple sentiments, from All About You & Additions, in True Black. Finished the card off by attaching the stamped panel to a Soft Stone card base.

Next up, another simple number but this time with a bit more dimension and embellishment. Using one of the individual images, I stamped a pattern in a color combo of Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet and Summer Sunrise onto a masked white circle.Masked off the pattern and stamped a butterfly trail and sentiment, both from Happy Trails. Attached the circle, with dimensional adhesive, onto a Soft Stone card base. Attached a die cut and stamped butterfly (also from Happy Trails) and embellished with a Berry Sorbet button. Finished the card off with a single rounded corner.

Well, that concludes my first look at Background Basics: Circles. I truly hope that you've enjoyed! I'd love to know what you think, so please share!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady and Besty Veldman for more Background Basics: Circles as well as Tiny Tags II, Erin Lincoln will bring you Mega Mehndi Medallion. Also, Dawn McVey, Heather Nichols, Beth Silaika & Melissa Bickford have peeks to share with you of their newest sets for the month.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I told myself, don't even go to Maile's blog today because there's going to be trouble. And there is! Haha. That circle set ROCKS.

    HOw funny, on reading Christina's comment...I entered your blog with trepidation too - lol. I knew I should have waited until after work, I am going to be so distracted at work, thinking about this release. Absolutely fabulous, Maile. On Nicole's blog, she mentioned the strips will be a little too long long for the CD case, may I suggest a DVD case??
