Craft Roulette #247 For My Crafty Friend

This week's Craft Roulette was rather fun.  The Parameters were:  Project/Card for a Crafty Friend; Colors/Pretty Paper; Element/Bell(s) and/or Belle(s); and Random/Something Gold.  Using the Karen Burniston Landscape Accordion die, I was able to include all four parameters.


The sentiment on the front indicates that this is definitely for a crafty friend, and I used pretty purple patterned paper around the edges.  There are two gold-colored bells on the front panel.  That took care of all four parameters.

I've had that scrapbooking girls stamp for many years, but the sentiment on the third panel is a relatively new acquisition.

Here are all three panels close-up:






I'm always up for a new challenge, and Craft Roulette definitely gives me a challenge every Friday night.

Craft Roulette #246

I have recently been doing challenges with Craft Roulette.  The idea of this challenge is to take four different parameters (project, colors, element, and random) picked by spinning a wheel and make a card.  This week's parameters were Project/Holiday Card, Colors/Trees, Element/Drinking Vessel, and Random/Something from your floor.

I met these parameters as follows:

    Holiday Card -- New Years card

    Trees -- shades of green (even though they appear tan in the photo)

    Drinking Vessel -- Champagne glass

    Something from your floor -- My cardstock is in boxes stored on the floor.


I used several of Karen Burniston's dies on this card:  Postage Pop-up, Fireworks, and Mini Alphabet and Numbers, as well as a stamp from her Season of Cheer stamp set.

I'm enjoying the challenge each week and was glad I could incorporate some of Karen's dies in my card.

December Designer Challenge

It's Designer Challenge Day for the Karen Burniston design team.  The theme this month is "Happy New Year."  It's hard to believe that 2024 is almost over.  For my card I created a little Christmas scene on the front . . . 

. . . and a festive Happy New Year fireworks display on the inside.  I decided to use a die that I hadn't used in a while -- the Spinner Square.  



 I was so happy when I saw that the latest release included these really cool fireworks.  I don't know if you can tell, but I used glitter paper on them -- they really sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by today.
