Optical Illusion Square card using Two Toned cardstock circles

Hello,
I was inspired by this video to create this card. It was called an Optical Illusion, and I love the look of the "square" on the circles! When I first saw it, I said to myself,  "Challenge Accepted!"

You needed 8 circles with 8 circles of a lighter color and I thought, why not use the Two Toned cardstock for this?
I started with these 8 circles, going clockwise:  Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, and Poppy Parade.

Then, you punch another set of circles from the same Two toned cardstock, but flip them over to see the lighter side of the circles on top of the regular side on the bottom.  The color difference is really subtle, you really have to look closely to see the difference.
Then you cut the lighter side circles in the same order. Half circles on the top, left, right, and bottom. Quarter circles for the four corners
Once you glue the cut pieces to the cooresponding circles, it really does look like a lighter square "on top" of the circles, but it's not. Isn't that SO COOL?
Here is the full video tutorial:

Side Mini Pillar card

Hello, 
Have you seen this Side Mini Pillar card?  I followed Connie Stewart's instructions and used the Pop Up Petals bundle.
I like how the card can stand up by itself, and I like using the pop up  mechanism I have used before to hold the sentiment.
The mechanism is a one piece that is scored to make this "Omega" shape.





Here is the full tutorial.
