This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #295 whose parameters included a map fold, planter colors, from the sky element, and three in a row. I used stamps and dies by Hero Arts and Karen Burniston to make this card.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Watch the video to see how the card base was made using digital paper by Carnation Crafts into a map fold card.
Nutcrackers were die cut using Hero Arts’ Fancy Dies Toys.
Sentiments were stamped on white cardstock using Hero Arts’ Stamp & Cut A Little Nuts set and cut out using Karen Burniston’s Greeting Labels die set. Three 1-inch circles were cut and marked with an “X” and a center circle to show where to stop when cutting the tabs. The tabs were folded to be inserted through a 3/4-inch hole in each of the card’s panels that will have sentiments. The oval sentiment labels are then glued onto the unfolded tabs and swiveled to make sure they are not glued to the card base.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope.

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #287 whose parameters included “saying hi”, crisp colors, sun/sunny(ies) element, and pennants. Today’s card uses Karen Burniston dies and her new Fall Phrases stamps.
Watch the video below to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: (Watch the assembly video for this die set located at the bottom of the linked page.) Cut three of the Landscape Rectangle Accordionframes from brown cardstock. From one frame die cut two apertures in the pivot panel using the stitched rectangle die in the set. Decorate the panels first and then glue the frames together as shown in the assembly video.
Leaf Pennants: From the Tree Pop-Up die set cut two sets of oak leaves – once from yellow and one from brown. Daub the leaf edges with brown ink and then splatter with white paint and bronze ink to age them. Sandwich a piece 8-10-inches of black sewing thread between two leaves (of the same color) and glue in place. Repeat with remaining leaves. (Note: I lost one of my leave pairs, so I only added five dangling leaves to my card.) Using a thin sewing needle, piece a hole into the top of one of the window apertures panel and pull the thread through the hole, adjust length of leaf thread and tie off the thread. (Make sure to only wrap thread one the window frame below the hole as any thread above the hole will be seen and won’t be covered by the decorative frame.) Repeat with other leaves. Cut four picture frames from dark brown using the wood embossed picture frame die in the set. Glue picture frames over the openings to be centered on panel and cover the thread knots.
Gourds and Leaves: Cut two of each of the leaves and pumpkin dies in the Autumn Elements die set. Daub the edges with brown ink and then splatter with white and black paint to age them. (Note: I cut the yellow leaves from a scrap of paper I had inked with red to get that orange mottling effect.) Cut two tiny pumpkin gourds from orange or white with brown stem vines using the dies from the Haunted Tiny House Add-Ons set. Decorate the first and last panels on both sides using the leaves and pumpkins and gourds.
Sentiments: Using the new Karen Burniston Fall Phrases stamp set, stamp “Hello Gourd-geous!” “Warm Autumn Wishes” and “May your fall be crisp, cozy and colorful” onto white cardstock. Die cut using the last two phrases using the two smallest label dies in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set. Using a paper trimmer, cut the first phrase into a .8-inch wide stripe and cut a triangle from each end to make it into a fishtail banner. Using the Tropical Scene die set, cut the sun rays from orange and the circle from yellow and glue together to illustrate “Warm Autumn Wishes.”
Card Assembly: Line up the accordion frames in the order you desire after decorating the panels front and back. Train the folds on the frames and panels. Glue the large frames tabs first. Trim off the unused tab. Once the glue has set on the tabs, train the pivot panels movement. Decide which way the panels will move when open and closed. Glue the panels together having one connection behind the joining frames and the other connection going in front of the joining frames. Trim off unused panel tab.
Envelope: The card fits into a mini slimline envelope.

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #286 whose parameters included a dude’s card, sunflower field colors, bird(s) element, and soot. Today’s card uses Spellbinders’ dies and embossing folder and Karen Burniston dies and stamps.
Watch the video below to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: Cut from blue cardstock one 1.5×5.5-inch strip and one 3.5×5.5-inch rectangle. Score and fold .5-inch from the edge on both pieces to form 1.5×5-inch strip and 3.5 x5-inch rectangle. From an 8×6 sheet of heavy blue cardstock spritz with water and use the Spellbinder’s 3D Nautical Knots embossing folder to emboss the piece. Let piece dry flat. Trim down to two pieces that are 3.5×5-inches. (I made the mistake of cutting my cardstock to finished size I wanted before I embossed, forgetting that the embossing would consume some of my cardstock. So it is better to emboss a piece bigger than what you need and then trim down.)
Ships Wheel: Cut two ships wheels with stitching holes – one from black and one from brown cardstock using the Spellbinder’s stitching Ahoy, Matey! die set. Cut one ships wheel without the stitching holes from brown. Glue the two with holes together, keeping the glue from filling the holes. Stitch the pattern using two strands of brown embroidery floss. Glue the last brown wheel to cover over the back threads. Cut one “Ahoy” sign from silver using the die in the same stitching die set. Go over the letters with a thin-tipped black marker. Glue to bottom center of wheel. Using a pencil trace the openings of the wheel onto the blue strip as shown in the video above. Cut the openings out using a kraft knife. Glue wheel to blue strip.
Walrus and Seagull: Follow the directions on packaging of the Spellbinders Shipmates die set to assemble the pair. (I glued black eyes onto the walrus and used a pink marker to color the cheeks on both animals. Also did some shading on pipe with brown ink. ) Attach each creature as shown in the video above.
Card Assembly: Glue the strip with the ships wheel to the lower right side of one of the 3.5×5-inch rope embossed rectangles. Glue the 3.5×5-inch rectangle with the walrus glued to it on the left side of the rope embossed rectangle. Glue the remaining rope embossed rectangle to the back of the card to cover the card flap tabs.
Pop-Up Mechanism: Cut one of the L-shaped mechanisms from blue cardstock using theKaren BurnistonKatherine Label Pop-Up die set. (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page for the die set.) Attach inside the card as shown in the video above.
Sentiments: Using the Karen Burniston “Happy Birthday” and its Shadowdies, cut the inside sentiment and glue together. Adhere the seagull to the top of the words. Glue entire piece onto the pop-up mechanism, checking that it is hidden inside the card and does not become a catchpoint for the mechanism. Stamp “Ahoy Matey!”to the card front using Karen Burniston’s Pirate Sentiments stamp set.
