Book Worm – My Messy Craft Room

Welcome crafty friends to my Karen Burnistons September Design team challenge card. I almost 😓 didn’t pull this one off. I have had the most hectic summer that I’ve had in a long time, and somehow I got my wires crossed in my head and put hours into a card that my daughter asked for that I thought “Hey this will work for the design team challenge.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ except it would have worked for last months challenge. This months challenge is “Cascade” and we needed to make a card using the new “Cascade Pop Up” dieset and that is thing that I didn’t do 🤦🏻‍♀️ and didn’t realized my mistake until Sunday afternoon when I was working on the blog post. So I took a different card that I had started, made a few changes and this is what I came up with.

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.
