Craft Roulette Episode #287

 

Hi friends and welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for Craft Roulette.  If you don't know what that is, head on over to their page to get the deets. I'm always a bit of a lurker when it comes to the show, because I find I don't do so well trying to get a card done in a couple of days to meet the deadline.  My weekends are usually booked, but I was able to make something, and I'm so glad I did!

My little pop up box hits all of the parameters!  It's always so fun to come up with something using the various parameters and do it in a timely manner.  Would I have ever made a card like this otherwise. . .I'm not sure, but I'm happy I did.  I have everything I used linked down below using affiliate links (which are no additional cost to you, should you choose to use them).  I always appreciate the support.  While I don't have a video to share for this card, I do have a YouTube Channel with tons of content, so head on over there for more inspiration if you'd like.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks a Bushel Card Set

Hey there!  Today I have a card set to show you for the Lawn Fanatics challenge #26, which was card sets.  I used the Lawn Fawn set called Thanks a Bushel, along with some new goodies I received for my birthday.  The backgrounds are done with the ink smooshing technique, and I watercolored my images with my Distress Oxide inks.  I have a process video if you'd like to see how I made these:

As you can see they were fun to make, and I've always enjoyed making cards in sets.  That way I have hostess gifts on hand to give out.

Easter Hugs for Lawn Fanatics #25

Hey there!  I'm back after a wonderful weekend away to watch my baby (who's 16) play some volleyball in Albuquerque, NM.  It was super fun and she played great, but I missed getting crafty.  So as soon as I got back and unpacked, I inked up this Lawn Fawn set called How You Bean? for the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #25, which is a color challenge.  I have a process video below if you're interested :)

I definitely learned some things in making this card, but those little jelly bean faces were so worth it!  I can't wait to ink up this set again :)

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn How You Bean?

Ink:  Lawn Fawn Jet Black, Versamark

Paper:  Neenah Solar White, LF Perfectly Plaid, various colors of cardstock from my stash

Accessories:  LF How You Bean? die, LF How You Bean? shaker die, LF Scripty Hugs die, Xyron Sticker maker, Nuvo drops, Copics in BG10, BG23, T3, T5, foam tape

Lawn Fawn You're a Legend

Hey there!  I hope your week is off to a great start.  Mine has been a bit chaotic, but I've still got a card for you today.  I made this for the Lawn Fanatics challenge #24 - Fun with Dies!  I tried something that I call inlay stamping.  I'm not sure if it has another name or if that is actually the technical name.  I just know it's not new, but I enjoyed doing it.  I made a video so that you can see what I mean.

Hopefully you learned something new or got inspired!  I've really been enjoying making these process videos, and I appreciate you all checking them out.

The Last SFYTT

It has been a few days, but believe me I've been creating!  I made about 15 Christmas Cards with a card kit I had, and maybe I'll get a minute to take some pics ;)  This morning after some instruction with the kids, I had a chance to play along in the Lawnscaping color challenge, and in the final Sketch for You To Try.

Here is the sketch for December:

I used the Winter Owl set from Lawn Fawn along with the challenge colors of Red, Kraft, and Turquoise.  As per the request of Amy over at SFYTT here are my previous months cards:

More Hope You Can Cling To

I'm back today with a few more Hope You Can Cling To challenge cards for the HYCCT challenges going on over at Splitcoaststampers.  I'm starting to get all caught up, and it feels good!  If you have some spare crafting time, you should really check them out and get involved :)

My first card for the day was made for Kathy's challenge of making something to inspire courage.  I used the Paper Smooches Stamps set called Hope.  It seemed extremely fitting.

My next card was made for Dina's show tunes challenge.  I was listening to 'You've Got a Friend in Me' from Disney's Toy Story on Pandora, and I couldn't help but be inspired by the theme of friendship.  I used my Friendship Blooms set from Taylored Expressions. . .one of my faves :)

This next one was made for Bev's 'Shine it Out' challenge to use a lot of sparkle.  I made my own glitter embossing powder by mixing some pink glitter with some clear embossing powder with a ratio of roughly one to one.  That way I'm not getting as much glitter all over the place ;)  I used a couple of dies and a set from Taylored Expressions:  Royal Digs, Majestic Border Die, & Royal Treatment Die.  Taking a picture of something with glitter on it is so difficult. . .ya feel me?!

This next one was made for Lynn's 'Pinking Shears' challenge to make a card with a decorative edge.  I pulled out a new Lawn Fawn set called So Thankful.

My final card of the day was made for Ardyth's 'Vital Signs' challenge to make something inspired by your vital signs.  I used a set from Our Craft Lounge called Every Heartbeat.

Whew!  That's a lot of cards that I hope will brighten someone's day!  I'm hoping to have a bit more time today to make a few more.  Thanks for stopping in. . .I'll be back tomorrow for the CDS Sunday Blog Hop :D
