Charms on a Purse!

Hey everyone - how's your 2026 going so far? I just came home on the 31st from my holidays in Arizona so I did very little to celebrate the New Year. Was too busy unpacking and opening my accumulated mail. I made time last night to watch Craft Roulette #300, though. Here's my card:


Supplies: Paper - TH Kraft Metallic;
MFT Limeade; Paper Studio cardstock;
Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain
Dies - Spellbinders Charmed Life (DOML-Nov25)
Press Plate w/die - Spellbinders You Are Everything Sentiments
3D Embossing Folder - Altenew Organic Linen
Other - foam tape

Host Mary Gunn had Maymay Helms (‪@MaymayMadeIt‬) as her guest. Maymay was making her 5th episode appearance but she's also been part of special Craft Roulette events. She has several regular shows on her YouTube channel, plus a line of stamps on her website. Mary spun the wheel four times as usual for the necessary parameters:


  • Project - Purse Card: I put a purse on an A7 card. 
  • Colors - 1990's: I went neon with lime/orange/pink. 
  • Element - Outdoor Critter(s): I used a bear charm.
  • Random - Textile: I embossed my purse with Organic Linen.
I pulled out a Spellbinders set that creates a purse with dangle elements. It's the first time I've used it and I know I put stuff together wrong but I wanted to get something finished quickly... Die cut the elements I wanted to use and assembled. Embossed the purse using an Altenew 3D folder. Added to an A7 card along with a pressed sentiment. The "button" closure on the purse is a flower center die cut taken from my bits box (brand unk).

Since my purse set was newly used, I'll add my card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82.

That's it for today, friends. Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty weekend!
