A Little Glow of Harvest for Fall

I’m getting a jump on my Fall cardmaking with this beautiful Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper, and it truly lives up to its name! The paper has a lovely shimmer that adds just a little extra glow to those gorgeous Fall colors.

Glow of Harvest is the August Product of the Month. When your order reaches $75, you can add this special DSP for just $5. You’ll receive 12 sheets—2 each of 6 beautiful designs. The paper is one-sided, so you can enjoy those pretty patterns without worrying about choosing which side to use.

For this card, I used just a little bit of one of the designs to create a Double Z Fold Card. Sometimes a small piece of beautiful DSP is all you need to make a big impact!

The Details

The card base is Golden Glow Cardstock, and I used the Scalloped Blooms Bundle for the dies and sentiment. I also added three gorgeous leaves from the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies for a little extra Fall foliage.

Here are the measurements:

• Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• Score card base at: 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
• Z-fold strip: 8 1/2" x 1"
• Score strip at: 2 1/4", 4 1/4", and 6 1/4"

This is such an easy and fun Fun Fold to put together, and I love how it gives the card a little more dimension when it opens.

Craft Roulette Episode 299 – Double Z Valentine Card

I’m excited to share my submission for Craft Roulette Episode 299, and this one really stretched me—in the best way! The project for this episode was a Double Z Fold, and I decided to challenge myself by creating an A2-sized Double Z card.

To start, I cut my Thick Basic White Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 7". I scored it at 4 1/4", then folded the front panel back in half at 2 1/8" to form the first Z Fold. To make the finished folded card measure 5 1/2" long, I simply cut off 1 1/2" from the bottom. That trimmed piece didn’t go to waste—it became the second Z Fold when attached to the card base. I love when every piece has a purpose!

The Craft Roulette colors were Rudolph, which was so much fun to interpret. I used:

• Real Red for Rudolph’s nose

• Flirty Flamingo for his ears

• Crumb Cake for his body

The element was Optimistic, and I leaned into that with a sentiment that is truly filled with optimism. The random was Plain Circles, which you’ll spot in the lovely doily featuring simple circular details.

I used the Valentine Kisses Bundle for this card, and these adorable bears are honestly perfect for any occasion—not just Valentine’s Day. The patterned paper comes from the Made With Love pack, and to finish off the design, I cut the Heart Doily in half for just the right decorative touch.

I am so happy with how this Valentine card turned out. It’s a design I never would have created on my own, but that’s exactly why I love Craft Roulette—it pushes me creatively, and I always learn something new.

If you haven’t joined us yet, be sure to catch Craft Roulette on YouTube every Friday evening at 6:10 PM Central Time. You never know where the wheel will take you, but I promise—it’s worth the spin!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this project inspires you to try something outside your comfort zone too. 💕
