Hello

Our Circle Infinity Dies feature 18 nesting dies ranging in size from 4.5-inches to the size of a standard hole punch. So that means there is only 1/8th of an inch difference in each one, which allows you to create the perfect size circle for any project!

Hello by Kelly Rasmussen for Hero Arts

To show off the different sizes of circles you can make, I decided to create a rainbow of circles using a variety of our Layering Papers. I am a huge fan of die cutting with Layering Paper because it cuts so smooth!

I started out by cutting the biggest 4.5-inch die from Punch Layering Paper. Then just worked my way in the center until I reached the size of the “hello” sentiment I used in the middle from the Happy Mail stamp set.

When it came time to assemble the card, it was just like putting a puzzle together. I started with the “hello” circle and worked my way out. Then trimmed the excess off the two outer edges and popped it up on a square white card base.

I kept going back and forth whether I should add something else to the card like sequins or black faux stitching around the border, but my brain just kept telling me to walk away. And now that I see the photos, I’m glad I did!

Hope you have an amazing day!
