A Matchbook Card with Heart For Craft Roulette Episode 271

 Craft Roulette Challenge #271 – A Matchbook Card with Heart

Featuring Guests Amy’s Wares & her daughter Ry

I had so much fun participating in Craft Roulette Episode #271! This week's challenge was extra special with guest crafter Amy’s Wares and her daughter Ry joining the fun. As always, Craft Roulette provided a delightful set of creative parameters that really pushed me to think outside the box.

🎨 The Challenge Parameters:

• Project: Matchbook Card

• Colors: Park

• Element: Key(s)

• Random: Curved and Straight

Here’s how I interpreted the challenge:

---

🧷 My Project: A2 Matchbook Card

I created a Matchbook-style A2 card using Thick Very Vanilla Card Stock as the base. The base measures 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 4-3/4" and 10" to form the matchbook fold.

I added:

• A 4" x 4-1/2" panel of patterned designer paper to the main front.

• A 3/4" x 4" coordinating strip to the front flap.

• A 1/2" x 4" gold layer for a touch of elegance.

The paper I used came from a Recollections paper pad, a gift from a sweet friend. The natural greens and browns from the collection captured the “Park” color theme beautifully.

The music in the background meets the “Key(s)” element. And for the Random “Curved and Straight” parameter, I paired the clean, straight lines of the card base with the curved edges of a decorative die cut.

✨ The Sentiment

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on another piece of coordinating designer paper, then die cut using the label die from the Hugs Abloom Paper Pumpkin Add-On Die Set (Item #166238 – just $12!).

These exclusive Paper Pumpkin Add-On Dies are available every quarter and coordinate with three months of Paper Pumpkin kits—but they also stand on their own! I find myself reaching for them all the time.

If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can find the add-on die sets in my online store here.

Title: Game-Changing Die Storage Solution for Large Stampin’ Up! Dies

 

Are you looking for a smart, simple way to store your larger dies like the Stampin’ Up! Party Alphabet and Party Banner Dies? You’re in luck! 🎉

In my latest YouTube video, I’m sharing a game-changing die storage solution that’s perfect for keeping those oversized dies organized and easily accessible.

✨ Here’s what I used:

• Two 5" x 7" magnetic sheets from Amazon

• One sturdy piece of chipboard

This method keeps your dies securely in place, is easy to store, and super budget-friendly. It’s ideal for anyone looking to tidy up their craft space without spending a fortune.

🧲 This idea was inspired by my creative friend, Lisa Fleming of Peanuts & Peppers Papercrafting. Be sure to check out her channel too—I'll be linking her original video in my YouTube description!

Mystery Stamping Fun Fold Card

 

Mystery Stamping Fun Fold Card | Chics Paper Ink Team Event

Hi crafty friends!

I wanted to share a super fun card I created during a recent Mystery Stamping event held exclusively for our Chics Paper Ink Team. These events are always such a blast, and this time was no exception!

The final result? A Fun Fold Card that came together beautifully—and yes, I’ll definitely be making this fold again!

I used the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper, which is so bright and pretty. It added just the right pop of color and pattern to the design. Paired with the coordinating Ocean Friends Die Set, this card really came to life. I love how these two products work together so seamlessly.

Both the DSP and die set are still available in the Last Chance Section of my Online Store—so if you’ve had your eye on them, now’s the time to grab them before they're gone!

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Notes & Totes Stamp Set—it was just the perfect touch to complete the look.

This Mystery Stamping event was so much fun, and I always love the creative surprises that come from crafting without knowing the final layout ahead of time. It pushes us out of our comfort zones in the best way.

Here’s a peek at my finished card:

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
