Last weekend, crafters from all over the world,
celebrated and shared their paper passion on dedicated
"World Card Making Day"!
I personally, enjoyed watching several talented (business) crafters spend 30 minutes each
on a day long special "Craft Roulette". It was just perfect for me, to catch on YouTube, after the live,
and I learned something from each and every guest. I can see where the concept of World Card Making has really taken off...so many wonderfully expert paper people out there...
Craft Roulette combined their weekly show (Episode 235) with the WCMD parameters, which were:
1. Project: Not a single fold A2. / Colors: Mood Board / 3. Element: World / 4. Stars
This wasn't the first time I made this type of a fold...
(scroll down to my Hansel and Gretel card, and my "Bugs" in wagon card)
Not sure why I'm always intimidated by unique folds... They aren't hard, and the result is always fun...
I very much enjoyed pulling out the stamps from my Kindred Stamps Limited Edition Box
and creating my "universe" / "stars" / "aliens" / "spaceman" card. I do see me making extras of these,
I already have people in mind who to mail them to!
I made the background paper myself...with a roller on a gel plate...scanned the results and printed it out on my printer, on a gloss text paper. I then sprinkled the paint splatters on the paper with white acrylic paint and a simple paint brush. (I saw this done on WCMD, and gave it a whirl myself...oh how fun!)
After the paper was dry, I was able to assemble the rest.
I do love me some Stardream Cardstock (I purchase at Cardstock Warehouse)
I see my inventory of all colors is growing and growing and growing. I will warn you, however...you must use a dye ink to stamp on it, or it will SMEAR SMEAR SMEAR SMEAR. I have tried to heat set it even and it's a smeary mess (for me) if you use any of my oxides, or other pigment type ink. The dye ink dries fairly fast, however, and I love the fact I have many many dye inks from my Stamping UP! days!
What a fun week!
Stand by for my next post!!! Craft Roulette rolls out in another couple of days, plus other fun!
