Let the Games Begin!

Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the Wild Joker Etched Dies from the Jack of All Trades collection by Jaycee Gasper. This is such a fun addition to the collection! You can see the other cards I made with this collection here.

The joker can be assembled in a few different ways. On some of the parts (torso and legs) there are indentation lines, so that it’s easy to line them up. I decided to have the joker throwing the cards up in the air, so I covered up some of those lines (where the arms would be if put together as intended) with a diamond so that you couldn’t see them as much.

To make this card:

• Die cut face and hands of Wild Joker from Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock.
• Die cut purple parts using Violet ColorWheel Cardstock.
• Die cut black parts using Raven ColorWheel Cardstock.
• Adhere pieces together using Bearly Art Glue.

• Round corners of A2-sized white card base using 1-2 Punch: Corner Rounder & Notch.
• Adhere joker to card base using thin foam tape.
• Cut excess shoe overlapping the bottom of card using 9” Pro Shears.
• Die cut playing cards from the set from Classic White, Violet & Raven ColorWheel Cardstock.
• Arrange to look like joker is throwing them above his head and adhere to card using thin foam tape.

• Hot foil sentiment from Shuffling Sentiments Press Plate onto white cardstock using Opaque Black Glimmer Hot Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System.
• Cut into strip and adhere to card using thin foam tape.
• Die cut diamond from Pip & Rank Etched Dies from Violet ColorWheel Cardstock and adhere to joker.
• To finish, Embellish with Onyx and Prism AB Color Essentials Gems.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my project today, the joker is so fun and can be created in lots of different colour combinations. It’s also perfect to combine with the other sets in the Jack of All Trades collection too. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!
