<\/p>\nAll you had to do was ask! (Several hundred times!) :)\u00a0One of our top product requests was to bring back the Custom Cutting System Circle and Oval Patterns, and wouldn’t you know it – we did! And, to kick off their\u00a0intro into our product line in style, our amazing team of Advisors that form our Content Contributors team have put together another sweet blog hop featuring all sorts of fab ideas. We’d also like to welcome our newest contributor, Advisor Noreen Smith, to the team!<\/p>\n
Before you send you hopping on your way through the blogs, we wanted to share a couple of fun ideas showcasing the cutest thing on the planet that you can make with the circles – snowmen!<\/p>\n
OH, and one other totally fun doodad… because we’re SO excited about these awesome tools being back, we’re giving away one entire Custom Cutting System with all the accessories to one lucky blog hopper! After you’ve visited all the stops along the way in the blog hop, stop back here and leave us a comment on the funnest (yes, that’s a word!) thing you discovered along the way! Friday, December 11 around noon CT, we’ll randomly select one commenter to win this batch of goodies:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Best of luck, and happy hopping!<\/p>\n
First\u00a0up is this totally adorable top-view snowman card. He’s too, too cute!<\/p>\n
![\"SnowmanCard\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/snowmancard.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
To create this card, you’ll need:<\/p>\n
Step 1: Cut a piece of white cardstock to measure 5.5″ x 11″. Fold in half to create a 5.5″ square card.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Cut a piece of grey snowflake pattern paper to measure 5.25″ square, then adhere to front of card.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Using CCS with red blade, cut circles from white cardstock as follows: (1) using red blade with outside of medium pattern, (1) using red blade with outside of small pattern, and (1) using red blade with inside of medium pattern.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Layer and adhere circles as shown using foam squares.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Cut two small strips of blue cardstock to measure approximately .5″ x 1.5″. Cut a “V” shape into one end of each strip, then adhere as shown for scarf.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Using scissors, trim small “carrot nose” shape from orange cardstock, then adhere to snowman. Add eyes and mouth using black pen.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Cut two “stick arms” from brown cardstock that measure approximately 2″ long as shown:<\/p>\n
![\"SnowmanArms\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/snowmanarms.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Step 8: Using scissors, trim “fingers” into tops and trim length of each finger until it looks about right. Adhere stick arms to snowman between bottom and middle circles.<\/p>\n
Cute, right?<\/p>\n
Next up is this totally fun snow day page layout – just in time for the fluffy stuff that’s due to arrive any time now.<\/p>\n
![\"SnowmanPageLayout\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/snowmanpagelayout.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The layout shown above (isn’t peeky Mr. Snowman the cutest?) features simple\u00a0straight cutting with some circle making that’ll make you giddy! How excited are we all that the circles & ovals templates are back? :)<\/p>\n
To create this layout, you’ll need:<\/p>\n
Step 1: Adhere blue background piece to white page.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Cut a piece of blue cardstock to measure 12″ x 5″ and a piece of white cardstock to measure 12″ x 4.5″. Layer and adhere to page as shown. NOTE: black cardstock was\u00a0placed where photos would go.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Using Custom Cutting System (CCS) and green blade, cut 7 circles from blue cardstock using inside of smallest circle pattern. Using red blade, cut 7 circles from white cardstock using inside of smallest circle pattern. Layer and adhere as shown.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Adhere letter sticker to each circle, then adhere across top of page using Foam Squares for added dimension.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Using CCS and red blade, cut 1 circle from white cardstock using outside of medium circle pattern. Cut approximately in half, then adhere to bottom of page as shown.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Cut a skinny strip and a rectangle, trimming as necessary to fit, for snowman’s hat. Adhere to page.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Using scissors, trim small “carrot nose” shape from orange cardstock, then adhere to snowman. Add eyes using black pen.<\/p>\n
Step 8: Cut a strip of white cardstock to measure 3″ x 4.5″. Cut a “V” shape into one end to resemble the end of a banner. Adhere to page as shown to finish.<\/p>\n
NOW… On to the BLOG HOP! Totally creative inspiration awaits. Here’s the order of blogs you’ll be hopping to – hop right over to Julie’s link, and on each blog you’ll be directed on to the next. Happy hopping!<\/p>\n
