A Tag Card for Craft Roulette 248

TGIF everyone! Just finished watching Craft Roulette Episode #248 LIVE and made my project during the show! Doesn't happen as often as I'd like but the show ran a bit long and I was able to get it done.

Supplies: Paper - Copic white; scraps;

Paper Studio Textures 12x12"

Cricut file - Doodletype (tag)

Stamps - Hero Arts Laughter & Joy &

Holiday Sayings (both retired)

Dies - Whimsy Penguin Pals;

Sunny Studio Layered Snowflake Frame

Other - Copic Markers; scrap of ribbon; foam tape

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Sara Lihz Staroska (Sassys LLC) as her guest. The wheel spun some interesting parameters:

• Project - Tag(s): I made a tag card.
• Colors - Disney: I used red/black/white/yellow for Mickey; orange for Donald & green for any frog!
• Element - January: Snowflakes, since MN gets plenty of snow in January!
• Random - Branch(es)(ing): A Christmas tree has branches.

I used a Cricut which I hadn't done in AGES!! Kinda fun. Cut two 5.5" long tags in white and scored the back one, gluing above the score line. Also cut one in a patterned red and adhered to the front tag. Added a scrap of ribbon to the tag.

Next I trimmed a white piece to be a snowbank. Adhered to the tag. Stamped, fussy cut and colored the tree & added into the snowbank. I'd die cut and assembled a bunch of penguins for an upcoming Die Cut Diva post so I went ahead and used a couple here. Die cut and added the snowflakes, plus a stamped sentiment. Done!

I always love to get something done during the show, reminds me of the old Hero Arts Scrambles!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend!!

December 2024 Card Chain Reveal

Hi friends - I hope 2025 is treating you well so far! I'm here to reveal cards that went around the world for the December Card Chain Challenge. Nineteen people participated - fewer than usual due to the busy holidays; you can see the full reveal HERE! My card went to dear Michaela (Bastelmichaela) in Austria. I got an early start and mailed it in November to beat the holiday mail rush; she received it quickly as a result.

Supplies: Paper - Recollections A2 card; Tim Holtz kraft metallic;

Hero Art Glitter Basics; Neenah Solar White;

Hobby Lobby Oh Holy Night (plaid);

Authentique Colorful Christmas (striped)

Dies - Spellbinders Stocking Full of Joy (DOML-Jul23;  retired)

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

Stamps w/dies - Taylored Expressions Season's Sweetings (dies HERE);

Hero Arts November 2024 Hero Studio Card Kit of the Month

Embossing Folder - Darice Stars (retired)

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape

Gail created one massive 5x5 "Fiendishly Festive" tic-tac-toe board for us to use on our December cards:

I went with the top left to bottom right diagonal to create my card: Sapphire/Sock/Stars/Sparkle/Silver

I started by die cutting a stocking from a sapphire plaid pattern. The stocking details were die cut from glittery white cardstock. Next I die cut a stitched rectangle into kraft metallic cardstock which I embossed with a Darice starry folder. I cut a smaller stitched rectangle from candy cane striped paper to cut down on the glare of the silver background. Next I stamped, die cut and colored a poinsettia for the stocking top & stamped/die cut a sentiment. Assembled and done!

I received the card below from my sweet friend Gundi (papierelle) in Germany. I just love that sweet Santa & she also included the 3D trees which I arranged behind the card:

That's it for today. If you'd like to join the January 2025 Card Chain, you have until the 6th to sign up - details HERE.

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!
