#315 Craft Roulette - Unity Stamp Co.

Hello and happy Sunday!  Today I have a card that I created for the current Craft Roulette Challenge.  I had a couple of ideas but kept getting stumped by the Element parameter - hop(s)/hopping.  I kept looking through my stamps and when I came across this poor little fellow, all I could see was him hopping along with his cane because he had a broken wing.  Perfect! 

Thise weeks parameters:

• Project - Hello
• Colors - Strawberry Fields
• Elements - Hop(s)/hopping
• Random - Big Letter(s)

The stamp and paper are from Unity Stamp Co.  The stamp is called, Wing and A Prayer and the paper collection is Where Little Gardens Grow.

I colored my little friend with Copic Markers in the following colors:

• E34, E35, E53
• YR21, YR14
• G20, G40, G43
• R00, R01, E02

For the sentiment, I used Emily Moore Design's, Hi, Hey, Hello Big and Bold Dies.

This was a really fun and quick card to make.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Arcade Slimline Birthday Card

 Hello!  Today I have the perfect birthday card for that old school arcade game player.  Trinity Stamps has a fun new release that is perfect for a gamer.  

This card features the new Arcade Machine Builder Die Set.  This die set works on their new A-2 Box Card Die Set, but I decided to use it for a shaker card.  

I also really like the new 8-Bit Birthday Stamp and Coordinating Die Set, so I put this card on a slimline base so I could use it as part of the sentiment on the outside of the card.  

I used the 8-Bit Birthday Stamp Set for the inside of the card.  I love how the stamp set gives you so many ways to create the perfect sentiment.  This is the perfect sentiment for the person I have in mind for this card.

I love the way this card turned out and I am sure that I will be using it on future cards - it is perfect for so many people in my card list!

Thank you for stopping by.

Crafty Crew Kit by Crafty Stamp Co.

 Hello!  This is my final card featuring Meadow from the Crafty Crew Kit by Crafty Stamp Co.

This has been such a fun set to play with.  Pre-orders end on April 15th, so jump on over to the Crafty Stamp Co. shop and get your order put it.  Shipping is scheduled for May 5 - just in time for the summer travel season.

I used my favorite pattern from the patterned paper collection in this kit.  I used the stencil, which also comes in the kit with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  I also used the left over ink in my blending brush to dust my edges.  I also watered down some ink to spatter on my paper to add a little dimension and interest.

I colored Meadow with Copic Markers in the following colors:

• E00, E11, E33 - skin
• E50, E51, E53 - hair
• R20, R21, R22 - skirt
• B000, B41, B52 - shorts & top shading
• YG61, G82, G24 - scooter
• C2, C3, C4 - seat and headlight
• T1, T3, T5 - tires

For the sentiment, I used one from the stamp set.  I stamped the flowers at the front and back of the sentiment and fussy cut the piece.  

I popped up Meadow and the sentiment on foam dots to give the card some extra dimension.

To add a little extra to the upper left corner, I gathered a piece of the white organza ribbon that comes in the Monthly Subscriber Kit and anchored it to a pink button, which was included in the January Monthly Subscriber Kit.  

Once my card front was finished, I attached it to a card base.  The card base was created by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 5/5" x 8.5" and scoring it at 4.25" and then folding it.

I think that this makes a very lovely notecard.  What do you think?

I have attached a link at the bottom of this post if you would like to follow along in the process.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope that you have a few trips planned for this summer!
