I knew of Trinity Stamps before I got involved with Craft Roulette. They were stocked at my local stamping store Anchor Paper for awhile but not right now. So, since they give random prizes at CR, I started visiting their online store. I recently picked up a die set that I thought would make a perfect card for my bro & SIL; it's getting first play here.
First, I die cut all the toaster pieces & assembled. Same with the slice of bread card. Since D&D have been married 30 years, I added those #s on the inside of the bread slice. A pressed sentiment sits on the toaster front, popped up with foam tape. Here are a couple additional views:
Isn't that little slice of toast card the cutest?! The card base is a full A7 card which I stamped on the inside (no photo) with a Taylored Expression sentiment (see that set HERE; it's a fave). Since my toaster set got first play here, I'll share at Darnell's NBUS #78.
I also made a card early this morning (more vampire hours) for Craft Roulette episode #282:

Host Mary Gunn had Meg Daves (@ITeachStamping) as her guest. Meg has been teaching card making for 20 years; this was her first appearance on CR. She enjoys doing card sketches with a twist. As usual, they spun the wheel four times for the necessary parameters:
- Project - Card for a Teacher: I made a retirement card for my friend, Becky who will soon finish teaching first grade.
- Colors - Classroom: I used primary colors, plus the colors of the animals which might appear on a classroom bulletin board scene.
- Element - From The Country: I used 3 barnyard animals.
- Random - Frame: I used a pierced frame die cut stacked 3 times.
Simple stamping, die cutting, coloring & assembly. The wrinkle on this one is the LF speech bubble that's 5 continuous bubbles. I stamped the 3 sentiments every other one, then used a black marker to draw the missing edges. I trimmed into three pieces, leaving out the extra two bubbles.
That's it for today, friends! Hope to see you back tomorrow and, by the way, the Card Chain sign-up for September runs until 9/6 - details HERE.
Thanks for visiting and have a crafty holiday!!
