Craft Roulette #101 Card & Video

Hello crafty friends, 
here's my submission to Craft Roulette Challenge, Episode #101 (38th consecutive):

     The idea for this card is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, because I made a T-shirt quilt without cutting off the sleeves and other stuff I'm sure get removed.  I used a T-shirt stamp from Your Next Stamp called Cool Tees and hand zig zag stitched with a black liner.   The "Handmade, with love" sentiment, I typed up, printed and then die cut it using a tag die from IO DIE015-F.   Tip... you can hold up your printed sentiment to the light and place your die behind the paper/cardstock to position it.  Use a little masking tape to hold it in place and die cut it.  Note... when you die cut, the die cut piece has a top and a bottom, by die cutting from underneath, your bottom will become your top and will probably have a lip from the edge of the die, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Craft Roulette #100 Card & Video

Hello crafty friends, 

here's my submission to Craft Roulette Challenge, Episode #100 (37th consecutive):

I have to admit that this card almost didn't happen.  I was having a really foggy weekend and kind of forgot about the challenge until late Sunday night.  Thank the Crafty Wheel it was an easy set of parameters this week.

I used a chocolate covered strawberry stamp from CTMY to stamp a background and set the tone for my love and great affection for chocolate.  I didn't want the tags to be the star of the card, I wanted the background to take that honor, so the velum was the perfect solution.

Craft Roulette #97 Card & Video

Hello crafty friends,

Here's my submission to Craft Roulette Challenge, Episode #97 (34th consecutive):

I used the following two digital stamps from LotvDigiShop for this 5x5 square card.  James Big Sign and Rabbit Sign 3.  I sized, position the images and added text to the signs in PSE.  Once the panel was printed and cut to size, I created my section with an alcohol proof pen.  

I used snowflake stamp for the top left section and a small flower stamp from the Honey Bee set for the bottom right section.   The top background is a blue tone-on-tone of clouds.  The bottom green,

TOB - Feb2022 Challenge

Hello crafty friends,

Welcome to a new month at the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, which runs from the 2nd to the 28th of the month and the theme is always Halloween... ANYTHING related to Halloween!

When I saw the mood board for this month I got so excited, because I had the perfect stamp for card.  The Vampire SWAK stamp by Deep Red is a close match to the fangs on the mood board.  I created a slimline card (4"x8")  by randomly stamping the lips on my card panel with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.  I used Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink mixed with a little water to watercolor around the lips.  I was going to fill in the lips with more Picked Raspberry, but ended up liking them as is, so all I added was Red Berry Crystal Nuvo Drops to the lips "blood" drops.   I think I'll give my hubby this card for Valentines day, I just have to think of a good sentiment for the inside.  

Here's this month's mood board for additional inspiration... Hope to see your card soon. 

Challenge ends on the 28th, winner will be announced on the 1st on the month before the start on the new challenge.  For a full list of all the rules please visit Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge home page.  unit next time... take care.
