Craft Roulette 123

 Today, I took part in the Craft Roulette challenge on YouTube.

The parameters this week were: 

Project: smaller/larger

Colors: blue, yellow, pink and red

Elements: stars

Random: stripes

At first, I found the parameters a bit overwhelming, but after some ideas from the comments section, I got creating! 

I made the rainbow by blending the blue with the yellow and the yellow with the red. I used the pink on the balloon, as well as on the elephant's ear. I used masking on either side of the card (stripes) as well as stripes in a sunburst stencil. I also stamped tiny little stars that came in two sizes (smaller/larger!).

And I made a video!

Twin baby card

The daughter of a friend of mine had twins last year. I made this card at the time, and then completely forgot to post the card here! Oh, well, better late than never!

Case me a Christmas Card with Susan Opel

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2021 - a Christmas Card blog series! 

From October to December, I will link to a series of guest cardmakers on my blog. I will CASE one of their cards, and they will CASE one of mine! CASE stands for either Copy And Share Everything, or Copy And Selectively Edit. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends, but making a new card that is our own. And, of course, the card we each make has to be a Christmas card!

Background

In November 2016, I started this a little series on my blog. It started with me wanting to challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone with my Christmas cardmaking, so I asked friends to challenge me to do something different. 2016 challenges included using embroidery thread on a card, making a food themed card, making a geeky Christmas card (it had the Tardis on it) and making a dinosaur themed card. 

In 2017, I asked some of my cardmaking friends to join me with these challenges. Then, in 2020, I changed things up a bit by asking each of my guests to CASE one of my cards and I would CASE one of theirs. Ardyth Percy Robb made a video in 2020 (linked here) of a 5 step process that I use all the time when I am making a CASE of anybody's card, so I encourage you to check out her video!

Today's guest

Today, my guest is Susan Opel. I have CASEd one of her cards that you can check out HERE. 

Some of the products I used are discontinued - I used a Merry Christmas die from CASual Fridays, and the Peace Love Joy 6x6 paper pad from Lawn Fawn.

 This is the card I Cased: 

Susan also Cased one of my cards - you can find it HERE

Case me a Christmas Card with Kylie Purtell

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2020 - a slight variation on my annual Challenge me a Christmas Card blog series!

From October to December, I will link to a series of guest cardmakers on my blog. I will CASE one of their cards, and they will CASE one of mine! CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything - but it's not about just copying a card. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends, but making a new card that is our own. And, of course, the card we each make has to be a Christmas card!

Today, my guest is Kylie Purtell (who also designed my graphic for me - thanks so much, Kylie!) I have CASEd one of her cards that you can check out HERE. 

 All of the products I used are linked below :) 

I used the Toboggan together set from Lawn Fawn

 This is the card I Cased: 

Ardyth came up with a genius acronym to help you make a Case of a card without making a direct copy of it - LIMES. I am going to be using this acronym for all my Cases from now on: 

List: cute images, pirate mice, treasure chest, birthday, blue ink-blended background with masked edge, black sentiment, white border on either side

Include:cute images,  blue ink-blended background, black sentiment

Modify: penguins

Exclude: pirate mice, treasure chest, birthday,white border on either side,

Spin: Christmas penguins!  

Kylie also Cased a card of mine - you can see it HERE!

 

I'm submitting this card to the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp, where the theme is Anything Goes.
