Hi eveyone, it's Jen here with a quick and easy tutorial on making 3-D circle embellishments. I love adding these to my layouts, I think they're cute and fun, and add a ton of dimension to your pages. You will need a circle punch, (I usually use a 1 3/8 size) patterned paper and/or cardstock, adhesive and the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.
1. Punch 3 circles from paper.
2. Fold each circle in half.
3. Hold them together, back to back.
4. Fold down the outside flaps.
5. Staple the inside flaps together, at the very base of the circles.
6. Fan the flaps out and adhere to page.
Supplies Used: American Crafts cardstock, Sassafras patterned paper, Studio Calico State Fair Tickets Please paper, Studio Calico State Fair Guess Your Weight paper, Studio Calico State Fair Pie Contest paper, Studio Calico State Fair Best in Show paper, Studio Calico State Fair Sideshow paper, Studio Calico Countryside Barn Swallow paper, Studio Calico Countryside Wildflower paper, Studio Calico Countryside Picnic paper, Studio Calico Countryside County Line paper, Studio Calico Documentary Itinerary paper, Studio Calico Elementary Alphabet stickers, Studio Calico Countryside label stickers, Studio Calico State Fair tags, Studio Calico Wood Veneer frames, Mister Huey's Piglet, Studio Calico State Fair Butterflies Graph rub ons, American Crafts rhinestone brads, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, American Crafts Precision Pen, Silhouette, misc. tag and twine
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Can't wait to see your creations!

OHGosh Jen....this is awesome!!!! I love your layout too. I just love how you added them to the twine. Just curious....is that a total of four or did you use more than one in each little section? If you know what I mean.

Lindy, Not sure exactly what you mean, but I can tell you that each circle embellishment is made up of 3 folded in half circles cut from patterned paper. The white outline you're seeing is punched from a 1 1/2 punch, and is just lying flat on the cardstock, not part of the paper circles.
Soes that answer your question?

Ha.... you completely stole my idea Jen....lol I've been making those for a while, I just think they are awesome, especially on xmas cards... ;o)

I love this!!! I am wondering, however, how do those fit in an album. Does it squash them?

OMG. . wondering where "boobus" comes from because my husband has been calling me that (as a term of endearment) for 12 years! Thanks for the tutorial!
Posted by: Jaime | 03/08/2011 at 03:16 PM
Mandy, I don't put them in page protectors. They would get squished. Most of my layouts are just lying around though. :)
Jaime...I have NO idea where it came from! Just sort of evolved.

Jen those embellishments are incredible!!!! Thanks :)

Love this!!

Sorry Jen....I meant on your layout. The one's down the left side combined with the twine. I'm not really sure how to explain it but I think you did answer it. You have four down the left side and each one is just one embellishment (made of the three folded in half). Thanks!!!!

So. So. cute! I used these recently with little snips cut on the edges of the circles so it would be a pompom for a cheerleading card. See it at www.facebook.com/Abundant.Greetings

I love these. I've seen them done as cherries & as a grape cluster for a wine bottle tag. Super cool idea!
Posted by: Kaytee | 03/09/2011 at 12:43 PM
Love them! Just one question: are these safe for scrapbooks or are they to bulky for page protectors?
Posted by: Isabel Warrell | 03/09/2011 at 03:48 PM
too (I hate typos) LOL
Posted by: Isabel Warrell | 03/09/2011 at 03:49 PM
These are so lovely, Jen!! :)
Posted by: Michelle Clement | 03/11/2011 at 07:44 PM
Just wondering how many times must you staple these? Can you see the staples once you adhere them to your page?
