Card on a Card!

Hi all - we had snow overnight on Friday but I was cozy watching Craft Roulette Episode #302. Since I was busy doing chores yesterday after posting my CKC card, I waited until today to blog my CR entry. Here ya go:

Host Mary had Mari Clarke (‪@MariClarke‬) as her guest. Mari is a talented crafter and educator who designs for Honey Bee and Crafter's Companion. As usual, the wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters for our cards.

• Project - Card on A Card: I did a top folding mini-card on an A2 card.
• Colors - Unicorn Farm: I used colors of the rainbow, plus white. 
• Element - Light(S): I used a light bulb die cut.
• Random - Label(S): One sentiment is on a die cut label.

I crafted along during the show but, like last week, the member cards didn't appear onscreen during the LIVE - oh well. As usual, I craft more quickly with dies - everything was made from scratch on this one, except the hearts on the inside of the card-on-card.

I started with an A2 card and added a striped LF paper die cut with a stitched rectangle. Next I made a mini card out of MFT paper (a bit less than 3" square). Stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a few hearts from the bits box. I die cut the light bulb, label, hello & friend from scraps and assembled onto the card. The light bulb is one die that cuts the bulb and the heart (with "wire" outline) in one pass. I cut it again from silver metallic and pieced the "wire" and the bulb bottom, plus the heart from red. 

Here's a photo of the inside of the card-on-card (I left the A2 inside blank for now):

That's it for today, friends - hope you're enjoying your day!! Part of my chores yesterday & since Wednesday has been to take down my Christmas decorations. I managed to get two of my living room trees down so far - making good progress! Since I was gone over Christmas, I left the decorations up a few weeks more than usual so I could enjoy them longer.

Thanks for stopping by!!
