Five Incredible Roundabout Cards by June Guest Designer Amy Tollner

Hi everyone!! Today is, unfortunately, my last post as the Newton’s Nook Guest Designer for June. I am honored for the opportunity and have had a wonderful time! I LOVE the new Roundabout stamp sets and went a little crazy with them as I have 5 cards to share with you today!

Thanks So Much Card

For this card I stamped the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set in gray ink on colored paper and colored it with Copic markers. It took a little while to find colors that I really liked the look of on the colored paper, but I think I found some good combos! I left the stamp in my stamp positioning tool. After coloring the flowers, I re-stamped them with embossing ink and gold heat embossed the image. I then used the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set to cut out the Floral Roundabout. It came out so beautifully that I knew I didn’t want to cover up too much of it! I used a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set and gold heat embossed the sentiment. I then rubbed the embossing ink pad along the sides of banner and dipped it in the embossing powder. I liked the look so much I used it for the banners on my other circle shaped cards as well!

Oh, Happy Day Card

For this card I used the same process for stamping, coloring, and embossing the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set as the previous card except that I used silver embossing powder instead of gold. I used the same color Copics, and just switched them around a little. I used the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set to cut out a piece of silver glitter paper. I then cut out my Floral Roundabout Stamp Set with the largest stitched circle die and adhered it to the scalloped circle with liquid glue. I used a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set and silver heat embossed the sentiment. I then rubbed the embossing ink pad along the sides of banner and dipped it in the embossing powder. I decided to use the Hummingbird Stamp Set, and again used the same stamping, coloring, and embossing process to create a silver heat embossed hummingbird. I fussy cut the hummingbird along the embossing lines so I wouldn’t have any excess white around it, and popped it up with foam tape.

For finishing touches I added silver Stickles to the flower centers and berries, and gave the Hummingbird a sparkling underwing with a glitter pen!

You Are Amazing Card

For this card I stamped the Floral Roundabout in black ink and colored it with Copic markers. I used the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set to cut out a piece of gorgeous purple glitter paper. I then cut out my Floral Roundabout Stamp Set with the largest stitched circle die and adhered it to the scalloped circle with liquid glue. I used a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set and gold heat embossed the sentiment and edges of the banner. Then, I wanted to have one of the beautiful butterflies from the Monarchs Stamp Set fluttering its wings on this card! I stamped two of the same butterfly, using dye ink, leaving the stamp in place in my stamp positioning tool. I colored both butterflies, then stamped them again, this time using black pigment ink, and embossed them with clear embossing powder. That way I was able to get a great contrast with the pigment ink being so dark, and was also able to make them shine! I then cut them out with the matching die set. I adhered the first butterfly with foam tape, then glued only the body of the second butterfly on top, gently bending its wing forward.

Hip Hip Hooray Card

This time I used the Birthday Roundabout stamp set, stamping the image in gray ink, and coloring it with Copic markers. I used the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames die set to cut out a piece of beautiful hot pink glitter paper. I then cut out my Birthday Roundabout with the largest stitched circle die and adhered it to the scalloped circle with liquid glue. I used a banner from the Banner Trio die and gold heat embossed the sentiment and edges of the banner. I then used one of my favorite stamp sets, Newton’s Birthday Bash, along with the matching die set, to stamp, color, and cut out a party hat and Newton holding the balloon. I just love that stamp! I popped Newton up on a Mini Action Wobbler for some added fun!

Happy Birthday Card

For my last card I cut down a 5"x 7" card to an A6 size card, 4 ½" x 6 ¼", because it was the perfect size for the card I wanted to make. I used the Balloons Stencil with one of my favorite things, glitter paste, to make a sparkling background! I then cut out the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set and blended Distress Oxide Ink colors Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Mermaid Lagoon. I cut out a banner using one of the Banner Trio dies and blended the same ink colors onto it. I stamped the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set onto my ink blended scalloped circle with embossing ink and white heat embossed the image. I also white heat embossed my sentiment onto my ink blended banner. I then stamped and colored Newton holding the balloon and a party hat from Newton’s Birthday Bash Stamp Set and cut it out with the matching die set. I once again popped Newton up on a Mini Action Wobbler in the center of the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set!
