It’s time for another Craft Roulette challenge! For Episode 334, one of the parameters was Include an ATC (Artist Trading Card), and I decided to make the ATC the focal point of my A2 card.
If you’re not familiar with ATCs, they measure 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"—the perfect little canvas for a creative scene. I used the adorable Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper to create mine.
The ATC
I started by cutting one of the panels from the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper to 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". I layered it onto a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Hydrangea Hue cardstock, creating my ATC.
Winnie the Pooh is sitting happily on a tree branch, which worked perfectly for another one of our Craft Roulette parameters: Trees!
I also fussy-cut Tigger, Eeyore, and the honey jars from the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Sweet Old Friends Dies. These little pieces add even more personality to the card.
Putting the Card Together
My A2 card base is Mossy Meadow.
For the next layer, I cut a piece of Golden Glow cardstock to 5 1/4" x 3 1/2" and embossed it with the Hundred Acre Woods 3D Embossing Folder. The texture adds a fun woodland feel behind the ATC.
I added 5 1/4" x 1" strips as additional layers to help frame the focal point.
The sentiment comes from the Sweet Words & Labels Dies.
Craft Roulette Parameters
Here’s how my card came together using the four Episode 334 parameters:
Project – Include an ATC:
The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ATC became the focal point of my A2 card.
Colors – Produce Aisle:
The colors in the Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper reminded me of the produce aisle—carrots, green beans, eggplant, and ginger root.
Element – Tree(s):
Winnie is sitting on a tree branch, so this one was a natural fit!
Random – Use 3 Circles:
I added three Hydrangea Hue In Color Dots for my three circles.
I love how all four parameters came together to create a playful Winnie the Pooh-themed card!
Where to Find the Products
The Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper, Sweet Old Friends Dies, and other Winnie the Pooh products I used are available in the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin’ Up! online store.
