NESTING CIRCLE CARDS

I've used the "Lots of Circles" die from Paper Roses and square singlefold card bases from Regal Craft Cards to make two different very quick cards.

Use two contrasting colours - in this case, metallic gold, and gloss blue.  You can save time by sticking your paper to double sided Jac before cutting, and running the dies through whilst they are nested inside one another. (i.e.only one pass for each colour is required) .

Then its just a matter of peel and stick, following the examples shown or making up your own.

I've added an embossed gold heart and a greeting sticker to the first example, and added rounded corners to the second, just for a bit of variety.

The gold hearts are available from Regal.  I should mention that they are quite thick, so if you are embossing them it might be necessary to adjust the stack that you use so that it will fit happily through your machine.  If the A plate with the two B plates are too thick then try A plate, embossing folder with heart inside, B plate and some cardboard shims to make up the right thickness.  Experiment by adding one shim at a time, then note down your stack so you'll know for next time!
