Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Hi all - Happy WCMD!!! Today Mary Gunn FUNN is hosting a bunch of wonderful crafting luminaries at Craft Roulette but, sadly, I will have to watch it on replay. My chorus has a show this afternoon so I will miss the entire event, oh well... But we had a pre-event during CR Episode #235 last night & I made this card during the show:

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders Betterpress Bisque;
blue cardstock by unk
Pressplate - Spellbinders Christmas Gospel
Distress Inks - Weathered Wood, Tumbled Glass, 
Crackling Campfire & Tattered Rose mixed with Antique Linen
Spellbinders Betterpress Ink - Coastal
Other - Memory Box Merry & Bright chipboard sentiment

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Amanda Stevens, an owner of Pear Blossom Press, (YouTube ‪PearBlossomPress) as her guest. They're the ones with the lights to put behind candle flames that you can blow out!!

The Wheel was on "vacation" so was pre-spun; a big surprise by Mr. Wheel - oh my!! And these are the same parameters that are being used today by all the Craft Roulette WCMD participants!!


  • Project - Not Single Fold A2: I made a mini-slimline card.
  • Colors - Mood Board: I used the Mood Board from Christmas Kickstart Challenge #91.
  • Element - World: My sentiment banner contains the word "World".
  • Random - Star: Nativity image has a star.

Here's a photo of the CKC moodboard (exact match not required & neutrals allowed):


My blue card base looks a bit off but I was trying to match the ink on the letterpress, oh well. Die cut both the cardstock and pressed image with stitched mini-slim dies. Loosely watercolored the images with Distress Inks; the sky was ink-blended after masking off the hills and Nativity. Added the sentiment banner. Quick and easy - great for mass production!!

Since I used the colors from CKC, my card is going there too! I'm also linking up to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #67 since my Nativity press plate is getting first play here and to Merry Little Christmas #58 where Anything Goes Christmas. Oh and by the way, we're doing World Card Making Day all month long for the Die Cut Divas October Challenge. Pop on over if you've made a card which includes any die cut or dry embossing!! We'd love to see you there!!

Thanks for stopping and enjoy WCMD!!
