Craft Roulette

Quilted Square Interactive Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #318 whose parameters were: Ardyth’s Square (4.25-inch square) card, May garden colors, textile element and three layer random. I used Relatively Thoughtful digital papers as well as dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Essentials by Ellen, Scrapbook.com, The Greetery & Waffle Flower.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×8.5-inch square of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded at 4.25-inchs on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for directions.) Decorate front and back with quilt blocks and the sides cover with 4.25-inch squares of colored paper cut in half diagonally.

Quilt Blocks: Using the Scrapbook.com Mini Quilt Block die set, cut six of all the die pieces from solid color decorative paper and another six sets from patterned paper. (I printed all my digital papers on thin computer paper.) Use a fine-tipped black marker to add stitching lines.

Sewing Notions: Using The Greetery’s Notionable die set, cut one pair scissors from silver foil cardstock. (I cut a second set from white as my silver cardstock was thin and tended to curl.) Cut the thimble, needle and seven pins also from silver cardstock. From white cut the three pieces for the spool of thread and color using a light brown for the spool and light gray for the thread. Leave the thread label white, but highlight the writing with a fine-tipped black marker. Cut the curling piece of thread from white and color light gray. (I used scraps of solid colored cardstock for the pincushion and pin heads.) The card of pins uses an image printed on cardstock from the Relatively Thoughtful Walter Crane In The Garden A4 digital paper collection.

Sentiments: The outside stamped sentiments of “You’re sew sweet” and “Made with love” are from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool. The inside sentiments come from Concord & 9th’s Sew Lovely stamp and die sets as well as Waffle Flower’s Quilted Hug stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “What’s sewing on?” stamped on the back flap. Stamp is from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool.

Giant Birthday Cake Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #317 whose parameters were: A9 project, florist shop colors, birthday(s) element and something from your MESK (messy desk). I used This Calls for Confetti stencils, dies and stamps for this 5.5×8.5-inch card.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×11-inch sheet of single-sided floral cardstock (110lb) and scored and fold it in half to form a side-fold 5.5×8.5-inch A9 card. Next, I glued two solid pink 4.5×7.5-inch mats to the center of the front and back panels. On top of these two panels I glued pink floral 4×7 rectangles.

Sentiments: The sentiments are all on a single stamp (Alice’s Story Birthday Sentiments) that goes on over the stenciled cake layers. Then the cake is die-cut using the Three Tier Cake Layering Stencils & Die.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) envelope with some of the cake sentiments stamped on the back flap using Alice’s Story Birthday Sentiments.

Which Came First The Chicken or The Egg Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I like discovering new craft companies by perusing the Spin Sponsor section of Craft Roulette. That’s how I found this amusing stamp set of snarky birds from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I pared it with a nested egg shaped die set from Simon Says Stamp!

Watch the video below to see how the card was made.

Cardbase: I used a 65lb sheet of white cardstock folded in half and die-cut the largest egg in the Simon Says Stamp Basic Shapes Nested Eggs die set. The die was placed with fold on the left side and the left edge of the die was slightly over the fold. I cut two eggs from decorative paper to cover the front and back of the card, gluing the back on first, trimming off the edge that extended over the fold before gluing the front egg onto the cardbase. (I stamped my inside sentiments before gluing the outside pieces onto the cardbase.)

Birds: Using black ink and The Rabbit Hole Designs Squawk Talk set, I stamped the images and front sentiment on to white cardstock. Next, using Nuvo Highly Pigmented Watercolour Pencils, I colored the images and used a water brush to smooth out the pigment. The images were then fussy cut out. I used 1mm thick foam tape, to pop-up the images and the sentiment on the card front.

Sentiments: From The Rabbit Hole Designs stamp set, “Happy Bird-day” and “I’m sorry did I roll my eyes out loud?” are stamped in black ink onto the inside of the cardbase. (I find it easier to do this stamping before finishing the outside of the card.)

Envelope: Using a A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) envelope I stamped “you’re egg-cellent” on the back in brown ink.

Zoyfold Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #314 whose parameters were: a zoyfold (z-fold with joyfold) card, Easter egg colors, seal(s)(ing) element and 4-square. I created this 5-inch square card using Emily Moore Designs dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the zoyfold card base. The z-fold is made from an 111×5-inch sheet of white cardstock, scored and folded at 3-inches and 6-inches. The triangular joyfold card is a square cut using the largest scalloped rectangle die in the Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies set.

Decorations: I used scraps of Anna Griffin Paisley paper to cover the card. The wax seal & ribbon uses Spellbinder’s Autumn wax bead mix, Sam Calcott’s Made to Surprise Christmas wax seal stamps, and the large fishtail banner from Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies. two small magnets from Scrappy Tails were glued and taped on to the underside of the seal to hold the card shut.

Sentiments: While the wax seal has “Merry Christmas” on it, the inside banner has “Peace & Joy.” The seal stamper and my wax seal stamp kit are by Sam Calcott’s Made to Surprise, while the banner sentiment comes from the Spellbinder’s Design A Plaid BetterPress set. The banner base is a die in the Emily Moore Designs’ Decorative Sentiments Dies.

Card Back

Envelope:  The card is thick because of the wax seal and would be hand delivered.

Java Joe’s Coffee Cafe Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #313 whose parameters were: a bridge card, salad colors, “starts with J” element and swipe(s)(ing). I created this 4.25×5.375-inch A2 card using Honey Bee Stamps and dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the back bit of cardbase from a 4.25×5.875-inch rectangle scored at .25 on each short side. Cut two 6×6-inch pieces of patterned paper into eight 1.5-inch strips to act as the bridge pillars to connect the coffee bar to the back card base.

Coffee Bar: There are lots of small decorative pieces in the Honey Bee Lovely Layers: Coffee Bar die set. (See the Layer Guide to determine how they go together.) Cut four of the large bar die from red. Cut four of the awning from green and four of the awning fringe from a cream mica sprayed cardstock.

Signs: Swipe the sign dies with brown ink cube before die-cutting. Cut two of the large sign die and four of the small coffee sign die. (I cut one of the large sign and did not ink it to create my JAVA JOE’S sign using a fine line marker.)

Sentiments: The “May your coffee be as sweet as you” on the inside of the card and the “How have you bean?” come from the Honey Bee You Had Me At Coffee stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) size envelope with a stamped sentiment and two tiny die cuts of a coffee pot and and a bag of coffee beans both colored with alcohol markers.

April Fool’s Day Interactive Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #312 whose parameters were: a slimline card, insects colors, April element and “twist(s)”in the corner.”. I created this 3.75×8.5-inch card using Karen Burniston and Spellbinders dies.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the cardbase from a 7.5×8.5-inch rectangle. I used the 2.4-inch die from Karen Burniston’s Squares – Crosshatch set to cut the window in the card front centered about .875-inches from the top edge.

Fool/Jester: I used Spellbinders’ Wild Joker die set designed by Jaycee Gasper for my April Fool.I made him/her much like the package illustration, but cut all the dies twice – the clothing once in yellow and again in red – so I could mix up the clothing bits like a traditional jester’s costume. I cut down the middle of the main body piece and used scrap strips on the back to piece it together. I also place the collar with the head and hat on a wobble spring. Adhesive-backed gems were used as the round bells on the jester’s costume.

Pop-Up Mechanism: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked Katherine Label Pop-Up page.) Cut one of the mechanism from cardstock matching the cardbase. added to card as shown in the video above. Trim excess bit of mechanism that shows thru the window. Glue the jester onto the pop-up box so that the hand and hat don’t interfere with the mechanism and the jester’s foot stays inside the closed card.

Sentiments: The “Happy” comes from Karen Burniston’s Happy Easter die set while the remaining “APRIL FOOL’S DAY” was cut using her Alphabet set. The white label for a personal message comes from Katherine Label Pop-Up.

Envelope:  The card fits into a #10 Business (9.5×4.25-inch) size envelope with the Funny Bones sentiment of “Handmade Cards because no one displays an email on the mantel” stamped in blue ink.

March Themed Pop N’ Swap Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #311 whose parameters were: a card with a tag, aquarium colors, march/March element and twist(s). I created this 5×7-inch card using Karen Burniston stamps and dies as well as Graphic 45 papers.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Watch the assembly video above for how to create the cardbase from a purchased 5×7 cardbase. I trimmed off 1.75-inches from the top of the card front. From the paper collection I used three different designs to cut the mats used on the front and inside of the card. Using the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set, I cut two of the largest crosshatch border die from dark green, two of the largest plain die from light green and the scalloped rectangle from blue. From the green rectangles I used the medium plain rectangle die to cut out the centers for use elsewhere in the card.The paper collection has a sheet of borders that I cut apart and used to decorate the card.

Lion and Lamb: Watch assembly videos at the bottom of the linked pages for the Chicken, Pig and Lamb and the Monkey and Lion die sets. I used markers to add dimension and texture to the animals.

Pop N’ Swap Mechanism: (Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked Pop N’ Swap page.) Cut one of the mechanism from a light to medium weight cardstock. Using the two small rectangle dies in the Pop N’ Swap, cut two of the large die from light green and another two using the smaller die inside the larger die to cut frames of dark green. Assemble the framed rectangles with the lion and lamb as shown in the video above. Test placement of rectangles and trim as necessary before gluing the rectangles onto the mechanism arms.

Sentiments: The front sentiment of “March – In like a lion and Out like a Lamb” was originally from the Farmer’s Almanac. I die cut the word “MARCH” using a retired Spellbinder’s Font One – Upper Case and digitally created the rest of the sentiment and then die cut it out using the scalloped edge rectangle die in the Pop N’ Swap die set. Inside, a journaling card was used from the Graphic 45 Spring Is In The Air collection pack for the “Blossom by Blossom, Spring begins.” The tag was cut using the same die as on the card front with a stamped sentiment of ” Sending Happy Thoughts” from Karen Burniston’s Stage Scenes stamp set. I used a hole punch to have a spot to thread some baker’s twine through to make a tag.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) size envelope with a strip of decorative paper and leftover heart on the back of the envelope.
