Over the years I have made different characters paper piecing different die cuts together, so I thought instead of giving directions on every blog post for characters because some of them will be duplicates. That I would make this page and just add all my characters here this will be a continued work in progress. Blog post going forward would be linked to this page to give the product listings and directions.
I am posting pictures, but don’t have the time to give all the directions today. I will add directions when I get the chance. If you see an image that you would like direction on, please feel free to message me and I will update that one as soon as possible.
I just love how this card turned out and am excited to share it with you today. Today is the Karen Burniston design team challenge day and the challenge for May is to “make it fluffy”. I have a fluffy sheep, fluffy clouds, and fluffy icing on my cupcakes. I decided to make this barnyard bash card for my Granddaughters first birthday card. Her stuffed cow is her favourite so I thought I’d make her a cow with all her barn yard buddies.

I am so smitten with how this card turned out, and it just happens to be a Craft Roulette Card, this card is so stinkin cute in person. Besides the Craft Roulette parameters I gave myself another couple of challenges, 1- to use a dieset I haven’t used before, and 2 to use a dieset that I haven’t used in a while, these are the Craft Roulette parameters ⬇️
So the set I have never used before is the Charm Accordion, and the set I haven’t used in a while is the Book Worm dieset. The Craft Roulette parameters were met as follows, the book worms glasses are see-through, so are the blue charm frames, and really you can see through the card around the twisting panels. I think these colours could be found in the birds and flowers in the Jungle. Teachers will be found in a school, I have the white baker’s twine and green ribbon in a tangled twist on the front of the card.

Are you a coffee or tea person? I’m a tea gal, in real life I would lose my mind if I found out that mice were playing in my tea cups, but I think they are super cute on paper. I used Craft Roulette parameters to make this card.
I have my flaps on the inside, they give a little extra room for writing a message. I’m not sure why but I often choose these colours when making winter scenes, it makes me think of icy cold. Children’s story had me stumped for a bit, for some reason the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice” got stuck in my head. Aren’t nursery rhymes short children’s stories? And last but not least “tiles” I have embossed tiles as the background for both the front and the inside. And of course my personal challenge of making it a pop up card.

Welcome back, today’s card is for the Karen Burniston design team challenge. This months challenge was “Vacation” and she asked us where we would like to go. I scratched my head a bit with this one because I don’t typically go on “Vacation”, not that I don’t go anywhere it’s just that I don’t typically consider it a vacation. Thinking back on the years of the vacations we went on while raising our children we typically went to my home town. But is “home” a vacation? And the more I thought about it, I decided yes, it was. I was raised in northern Ontario on the north shore of Lake Huron, but I’ve spent my adult life in the Prairies, so when ever I have taken my family there it has always been a fun time, hanging out on one of the many beaches or relaxing at my parents feeding the chipmunks, squirrels and a sneaky racoon peanuts and what ever other snacks that were handy. Once the seed was planted in my heard there was no turning back, and this is what I came up with.
I am not typically a colour artist, but I have been just drooling over some of the amazing cards by Jennifer Webster and thought I’d pull my markers out to add a little dimension to the some of the elements on this card. I don’t give directions as I am just winging it, lol. I used some older Stampin Up alcohols markers and some Chameleon Alcohol Markers
