Birthday, Pizza & Craft Roulette Play #228

Hello friends!  I have a mix of projects that I’ve recently been working on and wanted to share my latest since I’ve gotten all caught up with the projects that I hadn’t posted.

I had a few birthdays come up and of course I forgot to take photos of a few of them before I sent them out the door and now they’re long gone! (DOH!)  But I did remember to take photos of these:

I fell in love with the stack of party pups from Newton’s Nook and I always wanted to try out one of those cool card layout dies!  The person that I’m sending this to loves his dog and I know the dog also has some “friends” she visits with, so why not a “PAW-ty” of them together! 

I’ve used the NN Birthday Barks stamps & dies and colored it out with Copic markers.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in the top right square and added a stamped paw print from the stamp set.  All the images were popped up with foam squares.

For the background, I took the NN A2 Card Layout 2 die and cut the frame with all of the stitched pieces using the NN Birthday Woofs Paper Pad.  These dies make for some quick and easy cards without much thinking involved which is great when you’re in a hurry!

Next card was made as a thank you for a pizza night using one of those Ooni Pizza outdoor grills.  I’ve never had one and so of course being the pizza lovers that hubby and I are, we gladly excepted!  Very good pizza it was!  I wanted to thank them for having us and made this card:

I’ve used this really cute pizza set from My Favorite Things and I was happy to pull some papers I had for years and years to help pull it together.

I’ve used the MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle dies to cut the checkered pattern paper as well as the light blue panel.  I’ve used the MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle dies to cut the white piece behind the blue panel. (The red and white checkered paper is so old…got it at a stamp event so many years ago and hoarded it of course!)

Decorating the pizza was so much fun and I used the same ingredients we received on our Ooni pizza which was a handmade crust, tomatoes, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, cheese and sprinkled with basil leaves.  All of the cut pieces to make the pizza came from the MFT Pizza Maker dies and the sentiment came from the MFT Pizza My Heart sentiment set (I don’t see it on the website, so I’m not sure if it’s available any longer?)  I stamped it with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I’ve also used the same size stitched rectangle die as the blue panel to cut off a portion of the pizza to make it fit into design.

Lastly, this is a card made hot off the press tonight using the current Craft Roulette parameters!  So if you missed it, go catch tonight’s latest episode #228 and play along!  This is the card that I’ve made with tonight’s parameters:

I decided I wanted to also use the image from Beccy’s Place August Freebie challenge and add myself another challenge on top of the 4 parameters!  I loved the image as it looked so refreshing!  I played around with the image on my computer and added an extra one next to it, but flipped it around and placed it behind the other one.  I also typed up my own sentiment underneath to go with the “Monday” parameter with Craft Roulette.

Project:  I used a Geometric Square stencil for the background with yellow ink and to fit Beccy’s extra twist challenge which was to use something old from your stash, I did dust off those square sequins and brads that I’ve had for years and years to add on the front of the cups.  (Now the image reminds me of those Recesses Peanut Butter shakes! YUM!)

Colors:  Bee Garden colors are obviously the black and yellow and I had to add in some orange for the guest Irene who is a #teamorange color person.

Element: Monday was typed up within the sentiment.

Random:  Use A Marker(s) which the image was colored in with Copic markers.

  • Ok…so that’s it for me this weekend!  I needed to get this posted this evening because I would be missing out on a challenge that I wanted to be sure to play in before time runs out and that will be in like a couple of hours!

  2. Oh how I have sent cards out the door before getting pictures. Well we just make more. 🙂 I love your selection of cards. The dogs on that first card are fantastic. They make for a very fun birthday card. The pizza card is so fun too. Lots of work for that one as those pieces are really small. Your craft roulette card is fantastic and makes a great retirement card.

  4. There’s so much to like here with those partying pups to the yummy pizza and the retirement drinks. I’ll take all three! I really like the sections of dsp with the dogs and all of the party festivities going on for a festive birthday card. Of course the pizza card is clever and unique and might put me in the mood for some pizza too. I like the last card you made for that fun challenge and retirement is a good thing. Great job on each one of your creations. It looks like you’ve been having lots of fun creating 🙂

  10. Yep, you’re still the busiest lady I know! I love these cards — have to say the pizza one is my fav of these. I’ve had the MFT pizza stamps and dies for several years, and have used them once I believe. You’ve inspired me to get them out for another play! That’s the problem when you have SO many stamps and dies… you forget what you have and they get lost and lonely, lol! Looks like you have so much fun with Craft Roulette — I need to jump in some time and play! Your cards are GREAT!

  18. Vicki, that’s a delightful trio of cards! The first one is adorable and your image goes so well with the layout die and coordinated papers. I’m thinking that popular postage stamp background die would work too! (I have one, lol). And I had to google that pizza oven, I’m so out of the loop. Dang, it’s expensive! Would have to seriously love pizzas for that, but I’m glad you got to go taste one out and your thank you card is spot on. Those “coffees” do remind me of Dairy Queen Reeses Pieces Blizzards ha! Your old stash was the perfect colors. Sorry that you missed photographing some of your masterpieces…we’ve all been there I think. I know I have. I’m glad getting old makes me forget, lol. XOX
