October Roll The Die Challenge Card



It's the second Sunday of the month again and that means it is time for the Roll The Die Challenge YouTube Live over on Caron Bailey's YouTube channel.  Join us for a fun hour of card presentations using this month's prompts from rolling the stampin' dies.  

This month's prompts were:

  • Blending

  • Friendship

  • Neutrals

  • Punches

  • Monochromatic
I came up with this pretty card and chose my neutral as Crumb Cake.

I used the True Beauty Beauty stamp set with the Decorative Circle Punch and the Handmade Tag Punch.

Tune into the YouTube live at 2pm ET on 10/9 or watch the replay to see me make this card on Caron Bailey's YouTube Channel.
