I’m obsessed with Craft Roulette.
It gives me so many rule/parameters that I end up with cards that are super extra. That’s me, super extra….JK I only do my hair and makeup for work, but I’m happy to be extra as a paper engineer.
This particular card was a journey for sure. @MaryGunnFunn messaged and asked if I would do a process video for one of my Craft Roulette cards, I and took on the challenge joyfully. Six days of card-making, and 4 hours of content later, I’m thinking I should maybe have started by remaking something instead of trying to capture my creative process over the course of the week and then editing it down to 24 minutes.
Project: Fancy Fold
Colors: Dusty Hues
Element: Starts with "D"
Random: Pennants
This card was so fun, I'm working a fall-themed card next. I'll update when it's done, and show you how I did the magnet differently.
