#306 Craft Roulette - 5-Star Rating by Trinity Stamps


Hello!  I got a chance today to play along with the current Craft Roulette Challenge #306.  I was tickled by the "chalkboard element".  Now, I am not old enough to remember "blackboards" but I am definitely old enough to remember the chalkboards being green. Not to totally date myself, but I don't even think that whiteboards were even a thing when I was in school.  Yikes - where did the time go?

The parameters for the challenge are:

  • Project - A7 card
  • Element - Chalkboard
  • Colors - Summer Desserts
  • Random - Bottom Border

I don't make A-7 cards very often, so I always am amazed at the amount of room that I have to work with.  

The lettering on the chalkboard is heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The stamp set is a new Trinity Stamps Stamp Set called 5-Star Rating. The other parts of the sentiment are heat embossed with black embossing powder.  

As far as the "colors" parameter, I always think of Lemon Meringue pie for a summer dessert.  Yum!

To make the border at the bottom of my card, I used the 5-Star Rating Coordinating Die Set to cut out the stars.  To be honest, I totally forgot about the "random" parameter until I was done with the card, so I really lucked out with the die set since it was already on my desk.

I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Coordinating Die Set for the sentiment on the front of the card.

For the inside of the card I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Stamp Set for the sentiment.

To finish up the card, I used Gold Sparkle Stars to fill in the stars on the rating and to also embellish the card.  


I am just tickled with this card.  I may have to stash this card until I have a grandchild that needs one.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Brief Kitten Notes


Hello!  Today I am guest designing for a new release by Gerda Steiner Designs.  These little kitties are just hanging around causing all kinds of mischief.  The stamp set is called, Brief Kitten Notes.

For the background on this card, I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to blend in some clouds using cloud stencil.  I also used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink to lay in just a sliver of grass at the bottom of the card.  

To make the clothesline that these little rascals are hanging from, I used two circle dies to cut out a thin circle frame.  I hand drew some stitching lines and then placed and trimmed them where I could hang my little briefs and hearts from them.  

I colored my little friends using Copic markers in the following colors:

  • Y00, Y02, Y08, R14, R27, R29 - Boxes
  • BV000, BV11, BV13, BV17 - Lilac Panties
  • R81, R83, R85 - Pink Panties
  • E11, E97, E08, E19 - Brown Kitty
  • C00, C0, C1, C3 - Gray Kitty
  • YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27 - Orange Kitty
  • RV10, RV21, RV13 - Hearts

For the sentiment on the front and the inside of card are from the stamp set.  


To finish up my card, I glued some white sparkle spots at the top of the card to add just a little bit of bling.  

I think this card is just adorable and I am sure the recipient will think so also.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have an amazing day!
