Craft Roulette #80

Craft Roulette #80

Hello friends! Craft Roulette is a weekly live YouTube crafting event where host Mary Gunn and a crafty guest create a card using the 4 randomly-selected parameters. Episode 80s parameters were: 

Project: A2 card side fold

Colors: Yellow background

Element: Postage stamp

Random: Masking

Supplies used: 

To make this card, I started by sprinkling some Solar Flare and Sunray Crossette Shimmer Powder across a misted piece of watercolor paper and let it dry. Then I stamped the Happy Mail stamp over this paper and heat embossed it with the Black Sparkle embossing powder. Next, I used one of the medium sized deckle edge die. Then I used the Lotza Semicirclz stencil as a mask using Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink and then ink blended Hickory Smoke and Carved Pumpkin around the edges of the paper. At this point, I decided to try my new Paper Distresser and distressed around the edges of this card. I then ran the Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink around the edges of the panel again.

Then I turned to the background paper. I diecut a piece of yellow patterned paper in my stash with the largest deckle edge die cut and then ink blended some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink across the whole paper. I then used the Lotza Semicirclz stencil and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink across the edges and then heat embossed the pattern with some Holographic embossing powder. I ink blended some Tea Dye around the edges and then some Carved Pumpkin around the edges as well. I then put the two layers of paper together with foam tape.

Next, I pulled out a few of the pieces of mail that I had left over from a previous card and fussy cut them out. I added foam tape behind them and arranged them over the same pieces of mail found on the yellow watercolor paper. I tried to arrange them so they were clustered towards the middle, and was able to cover up a few heat embossing problems. Then I added some of the yellow and clear sequins from the Phoenix sequin mix around the card. 

To finish the card, I lightly ink blended the residual Carved Pumpkin ink on my blending foam around the edges of a white A2-sized side folding card base. Then I adhered the whole card panel to the cardbase with liquid glue.

Thanks for reading!

 Summer Treats! Today's card was created for a few different challenges: Make the Cards Challenge #21 (for the first card), Retro Rubber Challenge #161 and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge (red, white and blue). Today's card features the Sweet Friends stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn as well as my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers   and Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set.  To create the card, I stamped the froyo 3 times, the s'more twice and the strawberries (they are stamped in groups of 3) twice on a piece of white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Ink in Twilight ,  heat embossed them with Holographic embossing powder from Ranger, and die cut them with their cooresponding die cuts. I then colored them with my Zig Markers with the froyos exclusively in red, white and blue while the s'mores were a variety of browns. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the same Sweet Friends set in Twilight ink and heat embossed with more of the Holographic embossing

A Red, White, and Blue Flower and Striped Card Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a card that I made with a few challenges in mind: Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge (red, white and blue), The Flower Challenge #58 (adding spots or stripes), the Paper Players Challenge #548 to create an encouragement card and the Color Hues Challenge #21 (also red and blue). The card started with a watercolor cardstock panel I cut with the largest rectangular die from Gina K's Master Layout 2 die set. I ink blended some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide with a few different stencils (Scrapbook.com's Mixed Stripes , and Tim Holtz's Dot Fade Stencil and Tinsel Stencil ) and used some Wow! Embossing Glitter Platinum Sparkle . I also found out that you can use water to temporarily adhere embossing powder to a piece of paper from this wonderful video from Gerry's Craft Room and added some random splatters of water and painted a border around the panel with water and used more of
