Elf Stack!

Hey there - I'm sharing my card from Craft Roulette Episode #293 featuring Mary Gunn & her guest, Catherine Pooler (‪@CatherinePooler‬). Catherine has her own line of products (online store HERE) &  has been a guest several times. We were lucky enough to get one of her stamp sets in our swag bag for Paperganza this summer & my local stamping store Anchor Paper carries a lot of her inventory. Here's what I created during the LIVE tonight:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Paper Studio A2 card, green & glitter cardstock;

Stamps - Hero Arts Collage Music Background (retired)

Stencil - Taylored Expressions Ho Ho Holidays 2

(freebie with order - not in store yet)

Dies - Merry by unk

Other - MFT & Hero Arts inks; Copics for shading;

May Arts string twine

The Craft Roulette wheel was spun four times, as usual, giving us four must-use parameters. I was happier this week than last week, for sure!

• Project - Book Binding Card: I used an A2 card which I scored 1" from the fold & glued this part down after I added the layering piece and twine.
• Colors - Sandwich Shop: Green lettuce/red tomato/yellow cheese/beige bread
• Element - Music: Layering background pieces were stamped with a music pattern.
• Random - Wrap(s)(ing): The stenciled elves have wrapped gifts.

I had the stenciled/fussy cut elves in the bits box along with the sentiment. All I had to do was form the book binding card, stamp the mat layer & trim to fit, then assemble. Very quick and easy! Here's a standing view - the space for the inside sentiment is 3.25 x 5.5":

Since my stencil set (a freebie with a recent TE order) was newly used, I will add my card to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #80.

That's it for today. Tomorrow I'm off to a Hall of Fame brunch for chorus honorees over the years. We welcome the newest inductee and get to visit with a lot of retired chorus friends. I found a simple antipasto recipe to make as my contribution to the menu.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!
