Baking this World a Better Place!

Hey crafty friends - I've been busy crafting, including the latest Hero Arts Stamp Along today. Fun but draining - I didn't finish all the cards so I'm not ready to share them yet. Instead I'll share the card from last night's Craft Roulette Episode #309 where I completed my 100th card! The occasion, called Mug Club, nets me a stamp set courtesy of Craft Roulette - woo hoo! Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Paper Studio, Hero Arts & Spellbinders cardstock

Stamps w/dies - Taylored Expressions Seasons Sweetings (dies)

Dies - Waffle Flower Just Mitts;

Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage 

Stamp Edge dies (retired);

Other - foam tape; SSS Starshine Embellishments;

Hero Arts ink

CR host Mary Gunn had the very talented Sara Lihz Staroska (‪@sassysllc‬) as her guest, making her 6th appearance on the show. Sara Lihz has hundreds of videos on her channel and also some free ephemera downloads. The wheel was kind to us for my 100th card.

• Project - Mini Slimline: I made a mini slim card base using mini slim dies. 
• Colors - Jolly Colors: In the chat, someone remarked on Jolly Rancher candy so I went that route with red/blue/green/purple. 
• Element - In the Kitchen: I used baking mitts or what we call pot holders around here. 
• Random - Mask(S)/Masking: I masked the green panel to put darker ink around the edges. 

We had mini slimline a few weeks ago and some weren't excited about seeing it come up again. I was!! I die cut two red mini slimline panels, scored the back one and adhered to the front to form a shaped card. Next I die cut the next smaller layer out of green, then the next smaller from copy paper to use as a mask. I put the copy paper one centered on the green and inked the edges in a darker green. I loved how the postage pattern emerged. Adhered the green panel to the red card.

Next I die cut two baking mitts and their top edging, assembled and added to the card using foam tape. I pulled a sentiment from the stash, perfect for a baking theme & added it to the card. Some SSS Starshine dots finished it off.

I had just purchased my baking mitts die set at Anchor Paper on Thursday so I was glad to give them a play so quickly. Since newly used, I'll add this card to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge #84.

That's it for today, friends. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to get over to your blogs soon! Happy crafting!!
