You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
I'm delighted to be here as your hostess this week with my first WTUI challenge for 2018. It's an easy one - simply to use circles on your cards.
There are so many different ways of incorporating circles - as elements in your layout, buttons, sequins and so on. But there are some great and inspiring tutorials here, so I have a linked a few that you could consider as an option to "stretch and grow". Why not carry the usual New Year's resolutions of getting fit and personal development into our crafting room?
Tape Roll Trinket Box- I want to try this when I finish off my current roll of wide 3M tape!
Once you've got roundly creative in whatever way takes your fancy, make sure to upload your card/project with the keyword WT670, and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card .
If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
My thanks to Lisa, Carla, Toni and Cathy for their ringingly inspiring samples this week. Virtual cookies for Toni and Carla who stretched and grew :mrgreen:.
I've done the Tape Roll Trinket Box. It's easy and fun - so much so that I am going to use it as a craft for Studio 8, a resident run art group here in the Independent Living section of Greenbriar continuing care facility. Now, to find enough tape rolls!
Haven't decided what I am going to try for this challenge
Hi Sabrina, I will be doing something else for this challenge as well but wanted to share my round box since it is definitely a circle!! Thanks for the challenge!
Sabrina- awesome challenge, thank you! I used my circles for my background and my spruce green "moon" in the upper right corner of my card. Added some forest animals from my stamping friends, along with a sentiment from a seasonal coffee cup sleeve that I got on my walk with my son who visited for the holidays. Here's Season of Wonder

I am going with Bokeh! I fell in love with Lydia's butterfly card, one of my all time favorites but I have never been able to come close to satisfied with my little dots so I went with big fat bokeh circles. You might be surprised how relaxing it is to sponge circles!!
Thank you, Sabrina, for offering us so many options!!! Fun challenge!
I can't say it enough - I LOVE this challenge and all of the options. For tonight, I chose to try the bokeh technique. Other than a little mishap (tipping over a bottle of purple ink), it was fun and easy! Can't wait for this weekend to try the other techniques! Here's my card:

I am finally upload ing my cards for this challenge. I was looking at the tutorial for various round ideas and found the Flap fold card, which I had never made, so I decided to try it.
While I was making my card for this challenge I thought of the Tent topper card which I have made before a long time ago. I decided to make another one.
I sure had fun with this one, and took your suggestion to make a telescoping circle card. In fact, I made a pair of them! Thanks for the great challenge!
