Craft Roulette Challenge #171 - Hello Succulents!

OMG!  Why am I up this late???  Because I got involved making this "quick" video for this week's Craft Roulette Challenge...and now here I am.  But I had to do it, because I knew this would turn out beautifully.  And...now that I look at the calendar, I still an entire day to get my submission in.  I'm early, yay!

Find Craft Roulette on YouTube @CraftRoulette and play along when you can!  Every week is different and lots of fun!  Some weeks require a little more thought as to how you will meet the parameters - but that's good!


Episode #171 parameters, and how I met them:
  • Project:  Two Folds - we have a top fold, and a bottom fold on this card.
  • Colors:  Planter - greens, browns, coral, and some blues - any colors will work!
  • Element: Happy Face - making this card gave me a Happy Face!
  • Random: Old Product - the designer paper that I used was old.
Watch my process video if you'd like!


Close-up.  I used a lot of rhinestones, but the small ones aren't really showing up.


Using the Paper Piecing technique, I stamped the planter image onto patterned paper and just cut out the large succulent clusters.  Stamp the same image on Crumb Cake, and cut off most of those same flowers.  Glue your cut out flowers on top, and it looks seamless.

Wrap Linen Thread around the cut out planter, and then pop up on the card front.

Paper Measurements:
  • Mossy Meadow:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 2", 6 1/4"
  • Mossy Meadow:  1 3/4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Cane Weave folder
  • Old Olive:  1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • Cactus Medley designer series paper:  2 3/4" x 4 1/4"
  • Crumb Cake:  2 7/8" x 4 3/8"
  • Mossy Meadow:  3 1/4" x 4 5/8"
  • Cactus Medly designer series paper:  3" x 6" piece to stamp planter on, and cut out flowers.
  • Crumb Cake:  scrap to stamp planter and greeting.

Finish off with a bunch of Iridescent Rhinestones.
