I played along with the Twofer Challenge #28 this month which is circles/bubbles.
Here are my two cards I made with a round stamp from an old SU! set called "Seeing Spots."
Here's the thank you card, framed with bits from my snippets box, including one frame that was watercolored and spritzed with pinkish/purple inks. I stamped the pink card base with the stamp and versafine ink, then white heat-embossed the images, placing the KaiserCraft die-cut thank you in the center. I added 2 snippets of ribbon and 3 enamel dots to finish this one.
I stamped the image 5 times with black on white, then used MFT stitched circle dies to cut them out. Next I die-cut 6 smaller circles from polka dot yellow dsp, placing them on top, then used an old paper punch to make the flowers, dotting them with black Nuvo drops. The sky was done with TE stencils and Tumbled Glass ink, while the stems were cut from Lawn Fawn papers and the leaves were snipped from a die cut already made. The grassy border was done with SNSS dies and the sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers (now closed).
I'm also entering the thank-you card into the Just Us Girls Trend week #540 challenge to "Frame it."
Thanks so much for stopping by. I may be MIA for a few more days as I started another 1000 pc jigsaw puzzle that will keep me busy for a while :)
Take care and have a fabulous day!

Way to go one getting 2 cards done, Carol! They are both very striking! I love the colors and how you used the circles differently on each card! Well done! Hope you've been enjoying this beautiful weather!
The circle card is so cheerful and those flowers from circle are just adorable. This is a great take on the Twofer.
This is super fun! I love your circle stamps and it is neat how they can be a design or flowers. I like the extras with the stitched dies for the flowers. Hope you are having a nice day!
These are both really happy and pretty designs using that circle stamp Carol! I actually still have both the large and small circle/spot stamp sets!!LOL! It's so inspiring to see you create with the older sets and makes me want to pull them out and do something with them! Thanks for sharing these fabulous makes my friend!
Wonderful cards using the circle designs. Both are fantastic!
Nice to see more of your cards, I love your two different cards especially how you've used the circles to create a bright and happy flower card - genius. Can't go wrong with a pink and black combo and a nice big sentiment x
Two beautiful cards using circles! Love those pretty flowers and the thank you card with the circles in the background is very lovely, too! Great cards!!
Two stunning cards, love the stamping and gorgeousness shown here, just beautifully designed too.xx
Oh Carol, I am so loving your twofer's! You did such a better job with this challenge than I did with it, but nothing new there. lol I love that stamp you used and don't remember this one for some reason. It made great flowers, such a fun patch of flowers. I love the scene you created, it makes one feel the summer through these flowers. And the thank you is just so pretty with the purples and pinks and blacks. I love it! Well done you! Can't wait to see what puzzle you are doing this time around. I put together the frame to a puzzle and then promptly took it apart because of some nosy dog noses. lol Hugs, Brenda
Both beautiful cards love the stamps and how you made then so different-good luck with the jig-saw

Your twofer cards are just stunning, amazing how two cards with one main stamp can be so different and equally beautiful! I now have your posts going to my main email so I don't keep missing them, yay!
I seem to remember that stamp set in my stash a few years back. I think one of the grandgirls took it home to play with, and I don't mind one bit; they're enjoying it! Two wonderful cards, Carol. That thank you card is really striking double framed in black, with that bit of ribbon. Great idea to heat emboss those very cute circles. And your flowers are adorable! LOVE the little yellow polka dotted paper, too. Very sweet card, sure to make someone smile. Thank you so much for joining us at The Twofer Challenge! Bev
All I know is, I wish those were real flowers because I'd love to have some in my garden! They are so festive and detailed, Carol, and I love your cloudy sky and lush grass! This design is sure to bring a smile to someone's mailbox! And your pink dotty thank you card is like a beautifully frosted sheet cake. (Yes, I'm writing this while hungry, why do you ask?) I love all the details: the layers of scalloped frames, the smooched background, the enamel dots, and the awesome ribbon treatment! Have fun with the new puzzle and thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #28! Hugs, Darnell
Your cards are beautiful. I love both of them.
Great use of circles for the twofer challenge
Oh Carol! What wonderful cards!! I love all the circles... such adorable flowers.
