A Stamptember Sunflower for Craft Roulette!

Hi everyone - I've been MIA most of the week but I managed to watch Craft Roulette #285 live tonight & make/submit a card during the show:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio A2 card; scrap of patterned paper (brand unk)
Stamps w/dies - Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Dance (dies)
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 26 (retired, NIB)
Other - printed sentiment from SSS; Copic Markers;
Simple Stories Full Bloom enamel dots

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Tracy Fear (‪@NotAfraidofColor‬) who was making her second appearance. As usual, the roulette wheel was spun four times for the parameters we need to use on our cards.


  • Project - Square Card: I trimmed an A2 card down to a 4.25" square. 
  • Colors - Dairy Aisle: I used yellow/orange/white; rest of colors can be found on packaging. 
  • Element - Leaves: Sunflower stem has leaves.
  • Random - Hexagon: Patterned paper has hexagons on it. 

I stamped, die cut & colored the cute sunflower I got as a free gift from Simon Says Stamp with an order. They offered the die effective with Stamptember so I had to jump in there and order it right away, along with some other stuff! Since the sunflower is getting first play here, I'll add my card to Darnell's September NBUS Challenge #78.

Tomorrow I'm doing an online event Sweet Spells with Scrapbook and Cards Today. There will be three instructors - Cathy Zielske, Meghann Andrew & Mindy Eggen with a special session at the end with Jennifer McGuire. I'll try to share some of the projects if I get a chance, otherwise I'll be back Sunday with my regular Diva post.

Thanks for stopping by & for your kind comments! Happy crafting!!

I love sunflowers!!! Over the past few days, I've been harvesting the sunflowers in my garden. I hung a few heads for the birds, and I removed the seeds from the others. The birds will then get these in their birdhouses over the winter.

Great combination of elements - the patterned paper works well with the focal item.

You are amazing Linda, not sure how I'd do at the roulette. Fabulous choices on your part to meet the briefs.
