Craft Roulette Episode #254

 Hi friends!

My 6th contribution for the Craft Roulette show is here for episode #254.

 The parameters for this episode are: 

Project: book binding card

Colors: Candy

Element: Rhymes with "ogg"

Random: Letter(s)

My card is book bound on the left. I used the colors of a Tootsie Roll wrapper. Dog rhymes with "ogg" and the letter are "woof woof!"

 There are so many things that rhyme with "ogg" such as hog, frog, bog, fog, log, dog and I almost chose frog. I decided to pick dog because Tootsie Roll candy popped in my head and that made a lot of sense for a dog. 

The background color and the dog's food dish are that orange-red color seen on the wrapper and the dog is two shades of brown. I am getting better at grabbing backgrounds from my giant stack of scrapbook paper.

The inside greeting is "I ruff you" --- so cute!

The stamp/die/embossing folder set I used for this project has been retired, however, there is a stamp set available that includes the same elements and more that I include in the supply list.

CRAFT Challege Blog #747

 Hi friends! I will be doing some catch up on some blog entries so they might be out of logical order. It's really okay. I had considered participating in Creative Fabrica's 28 Days of Love for February by making something each day with what bundle they highlighted but I took a step back for two reasons: 1. I've had some health things going on that took center stage and 2. Most of the bundles have been fonts and that's okay sometimes but I just wasn't up to making a card most days highlighting a font especially when I wasn't feel all that well. 

Today I am highlighting a card I made for CRAFT Challenge Blog #747. The theme for that week was Christmas and the sponsored designer was Doctor Digi's House of Stamps The design I received is: Christmas Chaos. I was thrilled to work with this design because it is how December goes around my house. 

I colored the image with colored pencils. I added a sentiment, embossing in white. I added some border detail with a white gel pen and some sequins for sparkle.

Birthday card with Diamond Press

 Hi Friends!

Today I am making a birthday card with Diamond Press's new set called Lucky Celebrations. A big trend in card making is postage collage cards. This is a take on that but leans more towards a collage than a postage stamp. Doesn't matter, I love the trend and I love this version. I will get add on sets to go with this in the future as it was an Auto Ship deal on HSN. This set is still available at this time.

 Each pack of the auto has a background die in each A2 and slimline size with different borders. For this card I chose slimline. Each pack also has a theme or two this one is birthday and also St. Patrick's Day. Today I chose birthday.

 I love blending rainbows using these 3 colors of distress oxide. It is so satisfying blending the colors. I started the background with a full rainbow.

 There are 3 stencils for each of the the 2 background dies that block each part of the collage. I decided to use one of the rainbow colors for each stencil to intensity colors. First is pink.

 Second is yellow. 

Third is blue. 

Then I total forgot to photo the reveal to this point!!! oops!!

I proceeded to  stamp and heat emboss sprinkles, a sentiment and added candles and banners that are also included in the set. Finally, added sequins and splatter in white. I did a lot of inking but kept the rest pretty simple.
