A Postcard for Craft Roulette

Hello crafty friends - hope you're having a great weekend! I'm back with my card from Craft Roulette Episode #322 with host Mary Gunn & guest Alicia (‪‪@CallMeCraftyAl‬) making her 14th appearance. Alicia was at Paperganza last year and plans to be at Craft Roulette Live '26 in August. I love Alicia's Advent series on YouTube and faithfully watched her 2024 and 2025 daily offerings with Spellbinders.

Here's my latest CR card, my 113th!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio cardstock; scraps
Stamps - Your Next Stamp Holiday Postage (NIB);
Waffle Flower Postage Collage &
Urban Stamps Tall Urban Stamps Craft Christmas
Dies - Waffle Flower Postage Collage;
Memory Box Wreath Sprigs (retired)
Other - foam tape; peach pencil;
Waffle Flower Label Maker Sentiments;
Hero Arts clear enamel dots, Bermuda & Butterbar inks;
Mememto Tuxedo Black ink

As usual, the roulette wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters; I didn't take a photo this time...
  • Project - Postcard: I formed a 4x6" postcard from cardstock.
  • Colors - 1970s: I used a color palette from Googling - Butter yellow/peach/teal. 
  • Element - Wreath: I formed a wreath from die cut sprigs. 
  • Random - Pre-printed: I used a printed sentiment strip.

I tried to finish during the show but wasted too much time looking for the postcard stamp I used the last time we got this parameter (see it HERE). Instead I trimmed a piece of cardstock to postcard size and drew a vertical line in the center. Inked the edges. Added a stamped/diecut postage stamp image which I then stamped with a cancellation stamp, along with a To & From stamp. Formed a wreath from die cut sprigs and added it to the left side with a pre-printed sentiment and a couple stamped/fussy cut flowers. I added enamel dots to the flower centers. Finished just after the LIVE ended.

That's it for today. Hopefully this weekend I'll actually finish a Spellbinders Weekender card from last weekend's event. I'm close to finishing one card - just needs a sentiment...

Thanks for visiting and have a crafty weekend!!

Great take on the CR parameters, Linda! I love how you just went for it and created your own postcard using the supplies you had around you! Turned out great.
