I had been pining after these Geometric Circles since they were released and I took advantage of Simon's Black Friday sale to pick them up.
These are just so much fun to play with and there are so many possibilities.
For this card I used the basic die which has the circle in the square, and used the pinwheel inside circle die.
I selected an autumnal rainbow of colors from Papertrey Ink (Limeade Ice, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Terracotta Tile, and Pure Poppy), and cut the pinwheel circle once from each of the colors and the basic square frame six time from white cardstock.
I then cut six squares of white cardstock (I used a thinner cardstock for this) just under 1 1/2" (which is the size of that basic square die) and ran them through my Xyron machine to get an even coat of adhesive on them to use as bases.
Then it was just a matter of adhering all the little pieces to my bases.
Once these were done, and I had decided on the basic layout of my finished squares, I decided to create a color blocked background that would match the diagonal lines of some of the circles. To do this I cut three pieces of cardstock, using a few of the darker colors from the pie shapes, into 4" squares and then cut them in half diagonally from one corner to the other. These were then adhered to a scrap piece of cardstock to create the color blocked pattern, and then trimmed down as needed.
Once the background was done, I adhered the six die cut squares with foam tape.
The sentiment is from my old So Many Sentiments set for Neat & Tangled and was embossed in white and popped up with foam tape.
I am loving these dies, and have several other cards in the works...I got the Geometric squares too, so be prepared for lots of geometric cards!
I got these too and just started playing with them. I love this card and can't wait to see more (and yes, I got the squares as well). Thanks so much for the inspiration!
