Creating Kindness Blog Hop – Circles
Hi and welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK, thanks for stopping by. It’s Jay Soriano here with the Creating Kindness Design Team blog hop. Our Special Guest Designer this month is the fabulous Ashley Fifer of Stamped AF
You may have arrived here from Jenny Hall’s blog or started here, you will find all the blog links at the end of the post to continue along the hop and check out all the projects by the design team
Our theme this month is Circles which can be interpreted in any ways. For my projects, I created 2 wreath cards using the new Peaceful Noel & Sprig Punch bundle from the Autumn / Winter Catalogue
I used the circle die from Stitched Shapes Framelits to create my 1st wreath. This was decorated with a flower using 3 circle die cuts (the smallest circle die from the set), stamped with Peaceful Noel designs in Lovely Lipstick ink. These circles were snipped into and rejoined to create a cone like shape for height to the flower
I embossed the Smokey Slate card with the Corrugated DTIEF and sponged Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint. Before constructing the card, I also stamped on the Very Vanilla layer with the shimmer paint
I added the Lemon Lime Twist punched sprigs, Silver Mini Sequin Trim, Call Me Clover Tinted Faceted Button and Soft Suede sentiment
I created a Twisted Easel fancy fold for my 2nd wreath card. The twisted easel is a new fold for me that I have been wanting to try for ages. It’s such an easy fancy fold card, I don’t know why I waited so long!
I punched 15 sprigs in Tranquil Tide and 3 in Lemon Lime Twist to create the wreath. I folded the Tranquil Tide sprigs in half and glued only 1 leaf on the bottom side onto the next sprig until the wreath was formed. The Lemon Lime Twist sprigs were cut in half and tucked in the middle
The Whisper White layer was embossed with the Pinewood Planks DTIEF (which was hard to photograph), adding a strip of the Joyous Noel DSP and the sentiment from Peaceful Noel stamp set
The Joyous Noel DSP was also used to decorate the inside of the card for the matt and triangular stopper which has Stampin’ Dimensionals in one corner only.

Great way to use the elements from Peaceful Noel! It gives the set a life outside of the holiday season.

Your blog looks good, you should monetize it. There are number of monetizing solutions available in the market like RevGlue.com as its an authentic UK based registered company.
