Craft Roulette #246

I have recently been doing challenges with Craft Roulette.  The idea of this challenge is to take four different parameters (project, colors, element, and random) picked by spinning a wheel and make a card.  This week's parameters were Project/Holiday Card, Colors/Trees, Element/Drinking Vessel, and Random/Something from your floor.

I met these parameters as follows:

    Holiday Card -- New Years card

    Trees -- shades of green (even though they appear tan in the photo)

    Drinking Vessel -- Champagne glass

    Something from your floor -- My cardstock is in boxes stored on the floor.

I used several of Karen Burniston's dies on this card:  Postage Pop-up, Fireworks, and Mini Alphabet and Numbers, as well as a stamp from her Season of Cheer stamp set.

I'm enjoying the challenge each week and was glad I could incorporate some of Karen's dies in my card.

December Designer Challenge

It's Designer Challenge Day for the Karen Burniston design team.  The theme this month is "Happy New Year."  It's hard to believe that 2024 is almost over.  For my card I created a little Christmas scene on the front . . . 

. . . and a festive Happy New Year fireworks display on the inside.  I decided to use a die that I hadn't used in a while -- the Spinner Square.  

 I was so happy when I saw that the latest release included these really cool fireworks.  I don't know if you can tell, but I used glitter paper on them -- they really sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Karen Burniston New Release - Day 2

I'm glad you stopped by my blog today; I've got another sneak peek at several of the new dies from Karen Burniston.  This card has the Photo Fan, Happy New Year, and Fireworks dies.

I had mentioned to Karen Burniston some time ago that I'd love to have a fireworks die set.  I'm so happy she was able to put one in this release. The front of my card is relatively simple -- just the sentiment and a few fireworks.

The inside, on the other hand, has two rows of the Photo Fans and lots of fireworks, all of which were cut from glitter paper.

Hope you can come back tomorrow for another sneak peek.  And don't forget the blog hop next Monday.  You could win a $25 gift certificate to the Karen Burniston website just for commenting.
