A really fun trend I’ve seen popping up in stamping and paper crafting is the Circus. Use bright primary colors for fun cards and layouts, they are perfect for children’s birthday party invites or for a card for anyone who is young at heart. Here are some fun stamping products I’ve found with a circus theme.

My Cute stamps has an adorable clear circus set:
