Tea Circlet Card Tutorial

Hello Ai fans!

I used the New Tea Circlet stamp set. I am going to show you the steps involved in making this card.  I also have pointers for lining up the three images for all Circlets. I hope you love the two New sets as much as I do.
I started by stamping all three images onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock with Gina K black Amalgam ink and colored them with Copic markers.  I have the colors I used listed at the end of this post. I then cut the out with circle dies from We R Memory Keepers.
 I cut three circles from the DCWV Garden Tea Party 12" x 12" papers using the same circle dies.  I then used the We R Memory Keepers Lace Circle dies to cut out three lacy circles from cream cardstock.
I distressed all of the layers for the card with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress ink.
I used the Circlet dies that come in the stamp set over two of the colored images and cut them out. 

I then placed the cut top piece over the patterned paper circle and added the die to the cut opening.  I traced the inside of the die with a pencil so I could see where I needed to place the die.  I removed the colored layer and placed the die around the pencil marks and cut out the patterned paper layer.
 I then did the previous two steps to cut out the base layer of the top panel. I glued all three layers together to form the top piece of the card.
 I placed all of the middle layer where I want them and taped them together. I added the next die into the middle opening and traced around the second die.  I took all of the layers apart and cut them the same way I did for the top layer..
I lined the bottom layer up and glued it in the right place.
 I added two brads to the top of the bottom layer and one at the bottom of the top layer.  You can look back at the main picture to see where they go. I didn't tighten up the brad too much.  You want the layers to swivel.
Copic Colors Used:
Flowers - E51, R81, R85
Leaves - YG61, YG63, YG67
Vase - R00, R20, R21
Tea Bag - E50, E51, E55, E57

Very nice. What is the name of the nesting circle dies. II can’t find ones to match the name stated in the post. Thank you.

The nesting dies are available on Amazon & scrapbook.com. They're called We R Memory Keepers Lifestyle Nesting Dies. I found them in a search for We R Memory Keepers nesting dies. Sorry about that.

Sorry about that! I thought you were looking for the Nesting Circle Dies, they are still available. I didn't realize the doily dies were discontinued. They're one of my favorite dies.
