Hip to Be Square – Craft Roulette Episode 283 Card





Craft Roulette Episode 283 – My Submission

This week’s Craft Roulette parameters were:

  • Project: Card for a nerd

  • Colors: Beach colors

  • Element: Hip

  • Random: Animal print

If my card looks familiar, that’s because it is! I actually created it weeks ago and had it sitting on my desk, ready to head out as some “Happy Mail.” When I saw this week’s parameters, I realized I only needed to add one little detail to make it fit—so I added paw prints under the fox’s feet for the Random: Animal Print requirement.

For my card, I used the adorable fox cut-out from Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper along with the *Timeless Plaid 6" x 6" DSP. Both of these are currently on the Last Chance List and only available while supplies last—so if you love them, don’t wait too long!

The card is going to a friend who proudly calls herself a nerd. I stayed true to the Beach Colors parameter with ocean blues, teals, corals, and warm browns. The fox itself has hips (and attitude!) and I also thought the plaid squares worked perfectly since, as the song goes, “it’s hip to be square.”

This challenge was a fun reminder that sometimes the card you already have in progress is exactly what you need—just a tiny tweak makes it fit!

Craft Roulette airs every Friday at 6:10pm Central Time, and it always inspires me to dig into my stash and make the most of what I already have.
