Last week's Craft Roulette Play

I finally had time to play with the challenge that the Wheel set for us at
Kraft Roulette. 

The turn of the wheel came to rest on
Project: Include an envelope
Colors: Party
Element: Crown
Random: 3 strips of paper

I just got this in at almost the last minute because I was working on some other projects.  I have a photo list of all my stamps, dies and stencils saved under the manufacturer/seller names.  Every time I order something, I put it and a photo on my list and I love being able to SEE what's in the stamp/die set, not just what the name of it is.  So very helpful.

I'd forgotten I had this envelope full of flowers that I had colored, but never used and it was obviously perfect for the challenge.  I hit project, colors and crown (the top or highest part of something) just with this one set.  Then I looked up and the Altenew die stared me in the face challenging me to use it, again, never used before, wait, never even die-cut before.  The die has so many strips that I couldn't help but use the die.  I think the peach color makes it feel soft and warm.


Supplies:
Altenew Letter Flowers Bundle (stamps & dies)

Birthday Card for February

Craft Roulette 

February 16, 2024 Parameters
Project: 
5"X7" card 
Colors: Formal & Informal: 
(Black on wheels & Gem = formal. Girl on bike = informal.)
Element: 
Warm colors in background
Random: Crisscross - hashmarks on baskets on bike
I cut two sets of the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die, then cut off the end of one and added it to this 5 X 7 inch card to extend the background. The aquamarine gem in the girls hair was in a bag of gems, no idea what brand they are.
I used the Waffle Flower shader brushes (double ended) and found I really like these for getting into small spaces.  They feel so soft and I love them.
I couldn't post this until I was sure my friend had received it.

35th submission

Supplies:
Scrappy Tails Flower Shop
Sunny Studio - the hearts
Waffle Flower Shader Brush 1 plus - double ended
Birds - not sure what company
Happy Birthday from Linda, DT
Distress inks Antique Linen & I think Scattered Straw
Copic markers
Waffle Flower Hello Friend Sentiments stamps & matching dies
Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die

My February Card for Card Chain Challenge

 


I thought of balloons and flowers (no balloons or flowers were hurt in this post). I knew the exact die I wanted to use (I absolutely love this die and it's not been for sale for a long time - it's a keeper).  I looked for some paper and found this in my stash.  I've never been able to use this pattern before and I have no idea what company brand this is - no brand name on the back.  



Supplies:
Elizabeth Craft Design Big Balloon
Waffle Flower Hello Friends Sentiments
NO COLORING on this card (I know, unbelievable)
Unknown Paper in my stash
Vagabond die cut machine

I'm entering the following challenges:
Ally's Angels #79
Digi Choosday "Anything Goes"
Polkadoodles "Anything Goes"
The Creative Crafters "Anything Goes" #73
Scrapping for Fun "Easter or Spring" - it's certainly a spring card.
