What is Halloween with out Trick or Treaters, I wanted to make a couple of cute cards, not too spooky as they are for my young grandchildren, so I’m leaning a little to the cute side. I thought it would be fun to put a new spin on these Halloween dies and make them look like they are costumes.

Yay I got to play Craft Roulette this week and and I really love how this card turned out. I wanted to make a pretty card for a young lady who will be recovering from a surgery and I hope this card cheers her up.
Here are this weeks parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
This is how I worked in the parameters. The borders are all side pockets with ribbon peaking out, I also have a gift card pocket on the back. To me spring colours scream fresh and clean Rhymes with “ool” is Jewel and I have them sprinkled throughout the card. I used a brick embossing folder sideways to make columns in the background.

This card, my goodness, has been in progress for months. Someone (John Watterson) platted the seed in my head after I posted my first House of cards Castle and asked when I would make a Harry Potter version. I laughed and said it would be a while. So I started in a few months ago and I decided to that it was time to get it done. Part of my problem was, that I knew I wanted to make it but I wasn’t sure for who. So I decided to make it for me. This quote has always resonated something in me, from the first time I heard it. I thought I would pull out all the stops, and make a card that I can enjoy for myself. So I did.
While making the card I didn’t take photos of every detail, I did a bunch of fussy cutting dies to make the different pieces. I did use mostly Karen Burnistons diesets. I don’t want to take a month to make this post so I will give the card base and Castle details but I may miss a few things. If I am missing something that you want to know please message me and I will reply.

Ooohhhhh it’s that time of year, and as we are gearing up for Halloween we have a Halloween themed challenge for the October Karen Burniston Design team monthly challenge. Our challenge was to have at least one Jack-o-Lateran on our cards. I have a few, but I also decided to make one of them the closure for my card 🎃

It’s been a minute but I finally have a Craft Roulette inspired card. I had a lot of fun with this card, I made quite a few boo boos, but I continued through and I love how it turned out.
This week’s parameters are ⬇️⬇️⬇️ and I gave myself a couple other challenges as well. 1- besides the card base all of the other card stock had to come from my scrap bin. I have so much scrap paper I did not allow myself to cut from a full sheet. 2- use a die set that I have not used before, this is the first time I have used Karen Burnistons Family room Pop up , and 3- Mixed Media was a topic that was discussed on this weeks episode of Craft Roulette so I thought that I would give it a try.
The circles are little clear dots on the front, and the message space on the inside. The vegetable garden colours – orange pumpkin, red tomatoes, yellow corn, beans, green beans, peas, leaves, brown potatoes, blue sky. The screen element was tricky but the red fabric has a “screen” like weave to it, the ribbon has a bigger “screen” weave to it. The fluff is all over the trees, I used Flower soft to create this look.
