Craft Roulette #92 Entry

 A little late in posting, but here is my entry for Craft Roulette #92,held on Dec 17!

The criteria was gatefold card; blue, green plus 1 for colors; in or under a tree and random was tied.

I hand cut a bird and tree and placed it in the hand of the snowman. I think this paper is retired from Stampin up and the ribbon is retired CTMH item.

Craft Roulette is coming New Year's Eve, so if you are needing something to do check it out on YouTube.

Thank for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

Craft Roulette #91

The craft wheel was generous this past Friday! A2 card, bright colors, cozy and sequins or gems. You know I am all about the bling!

Here's my entry using a retired stamp set. The title is
from two different stamps that I cut apart! Easier to cut than masking off!

Craft Roulette #86

Once again the roulette wheel threw a challenge our way! Diagonal cut, pattern paper inspired, folded corner and the element was kid(s). Here is what I came up with.


My kid element was cookies left out for Santa! Its all in the interpretation!

Santa came from the CTMH Holly & Ivy Cardmaking Stamp Set C1907

Hope this inspired you to try your hand at the roulette parameters, and would love to see your ideas!

Thanks for stopping by!

Craft Roulette #84

I know I have been away for a while! I have been scrapbooking and on vacation! Took a National Parks trip through Wyoming and South Dakota. It was fabulous even though we had 50 mile an hour wind and we also had snow...lots of snow!

I am back now and was able to participate in Friday nights Craft Roulette. The parameters were a slimline landscape card, orange background, jar or glass and have 3 layers.  So here is what I came up with!



I used stamp set C1886 Cheers My Dears for the glasses and sentiment!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cards made from leftover kits

I came across leftover kits from NSD, so I made some different cards with them. The kit was called Cheerful Humor, I don't have the stamp set that came with it but I certainly have many other stamp sets to use. I pretty much followed the guide that came with it and added my own twist.



Stamp sets used where from GinaK, CTMH and Stampin UP. Hope this inspires you to use your scraps!

Craft Roulette Challenges

Been away for awhile but still crafting! Here are my entries to the past

Episode #78- easel card, black background, camping and tone on tone!

I submitted this one but felt it was missing tress so I redid it!

Added trees and removed the tent! I think it looks much better.

Episode #79-FUNN Flap card, favorite 3 colors, under the tree and crinkle inkle



Window is my funn flap

Episode #80-A2 side fold card, yellow background, postage stamp and masking!

Had a postage stamp die and made my own. Strange colors for Christmas but it matched the postage stamp idea!


Hope these have inspired you to join in every Friday on YouTube and see what the wheel will do!

Thanksgiving Time!

Since my Halloween cards are done, I decided to work on Thanksgiving cards. I have the GinaK original wreath builder set so I thought I would attempt a slimline. She did a video on using her new larger wreath builder and made a mini slimline card and a regular slimline using her original wreath builder.  So I attempted it using the original wreath builder and my Stamperatus. I used our new Pumpkin Spice Scrapbooking Stamp and Thin cuts Z4315 for the gourds and leaves. Also used a stamp from GinaK's new mandala maker stamp set. There was a spot that just needed a little something!

Added some bling with our new Autumn Loose Sequins Z4298.


The sentiment is a retired CTMH stamp set.  So here is my card!


Almost forgot....I used one of our new colors on the 2 gourds and the card base called Harbour.


This color is growing on me! 

Hope you liked the card. Please don't forget to stop by my store for these and any other crafting needs. 

Happy Crafting!

Craft Roulette Challenge #77

I can't believe I have entered the Craft Roulette challenge 35 times! Whoa!

This weeks submission parameters were a card with a tag, red, yellow and violet colors, starts with B and random is ombre technique.

Here's what I came up with all by myself!


The tag is the dog tags, the B is the bird(eagle) and ombre affect with the colors. I love this card! Had to fussy cut the eagle and tags to tuck them under the birds feet!

I hope you have checked out Craft Roulette! It does challenge you!

Thanks for stopping by!
