A Spin of the Wheel

Another Craft Roulette experiment and I think a fun one.  I went literal on this one. #163.

The Wheel spun round and round, round and round. The Resulst:

Project: 3 tags
Colors Rose Garden
Element: May
Random: Masking

I searched for a stamp beginning with the word "May".  I found a sentiment and the cute little penguins to go with it.  Next I chose my papers to work with.  Would you believe I went with the smallest tag die I own, which led me to making a mini-slimline card.

I have three tags out of this great patterned paper, and very RED Rose garden colors (you can't see anything but the flowers).  My sentiment starts with the capitalized word "May" and the middle penguin is actually wearing a small black mask, thought the two candy canes are doing quite a good job of masking that face too. 

Supplies:
My Favorite Things Penguin Party stamps & matching dies
I can't find the large red panel dies as this red panel was on my desk

A Month With Kat Scrappiness at Die Cut Divas

  Die Cut Divas' sponsor for November is Kat Scrappiness and the Divas thought Slimline and Mini Slimline cards were perfect to make your holiday cards, no matter the content.  So let's get making those wonderful SLIMLINE and MINI-SLIMLINE cards.

Kat Scrappiness is offering a prize of a 

Kat Scrappiness Gift Pack valued at least $25.

The standard size of a slimline card is typically 3.5" X 8.5" (8.89 X 21.59 cm).  The card base for a mini slimline card is typically 3" X 6".   These are approximate sizes and we won't be checking to see if your card meets the exact standard for either size.    

I made both a mini-slimline and a regular slimline card.  The sentiment comes with a background in the set, but I used it without the background in the mini-slimline and with the background for the second card.  

It just worked out perfectly that I had some amazing cardboard ads showing a sunset & dark silhouette which I used for the sentiment backing die.  This may be simple, but in real life (RL), it packs a punch!

Supplies:

Mini-Slimline

Kat Scrappiness Mini-Slimline Diamond Wire & Wood Grain Frame die

Kat Scrappiness Mini-Slimline Embossed Edge die

Eyelet Outlet & Brads Enamel Dots

Altenew in August

 Spending time with Altenew this month.

Die Cut Divas challenge for the month of August is "watercolor real or faux".

"Watercolor real or faux" includes splattering of water on distress inked panels, application of a water spritzed stencil to pull up distress inks from a distress inked panel and smooshed backgrounds, so there's lots of techniques you can go with for watercolor real or faux.

I actually tried water-coloring. It's not too bad for a beginner; it could be better; not bad. LOL I made a mini-slimline card because the water stamp is narrow and it works great for a mini-slimline card. I chose a dark blue folder to die-cut a panel surrounding the scene, which really pops the entire scene, making the card feel crisp and clean.

Supplies:

Altenew Be a Lighthouse stamp set

Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Embossed Edge Dies

Distress inks (ink pad applied on acrylic block sprayed with water)
