Giant Pop up Dinosaur Birthday card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Is it still a birthday card if you have to mail it in box 🤔, this is by far the biggest birthday card I EVER made. I didn’t originally plan for it to be this big but one thing led to another and KaBang giant pop up dinosaur. My kids actually told me I was insane 🤦‍♀️ lol. This started off with my thinking about making a 2 ball dragon card. I had seems some pretty impressive dragons and was going to give it a go when I remembered that I had a dinosaur 🦖 skeleton stencil from YEARS ago and I thought hey why make a dragon when I can make a dinosaur and I hadn’t seen a Surprise Pop up Ball Dinosaur yet soooooo my mind was made up.

with this card all the fun is definitely in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

Birthday Beverages-c4c539

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Happy Weekend, anyone up for a beverage 🍸🍹🥃. I’ve been MIA from the Crazy4Challenges challenges for the last couple of weeks as life has thrown me a few curve balls lately but I was able to create a card for this week. Apparently it’s world gin day so this weeks challenge was to think of cocktails, juniper berries, the colours and flavours of gin, pink, orange blossom, rhubarb, blood orange, violet, passion fruit, pineapple, mango,and lime. Wow this was interesting but I think I nailed it.

Blooming Flowers Pop Up Card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

So I know Mother’s Day was last month, but I didn’t get the chance to post this card, and since the card theme can change with just a change of the greeting I thought I would post it anyway. I got this idea from a 50th Birthday Card that Karen Burniston made, I thought it would be fun to do it with flowers so I gave it a go.

The thing that makes this card so fun is that the front is clear plastic, so you get a peak of the inside but don’t get the full effect until it is opened.

Sssshhhhh Moms Belated Birthday Card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Edit- I have many people ask where to get this dieset, unfortunately it is not longer available (possibly on eBay or Amazon) it is called the Accordion Ring die set from Karen Burniston. Currently she has the Fancy Label Accordion dieset for sale on her website. Same idea just a different shape.

I am soooo far behind in everything this year 🙄 here is a belated card for my mom. The postal service is so far behind here I’m not sure when’s she’s going to get it, she still hasn’t gotten her Mother’s Day card 🙄. Anyway this is what I came up with

Always be our Baby-C4C536

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Hello, so sorry I’m about a day late for this weeks Crazy4Challenges blog post, the card I made for this challenge is actually the card I made for my daughter, who’s birthday is today, and I only just gave her the card, so I didn’t want her to see her card online before I gave it to her. So to my lovely daughter, Happy Birthday sweetheart I hope you have a wonderful day 💕

On to this weeks challenge, apparently May is photo month, so the challenge is to include something photo related, I decided to add some photos of my baby as a baby.

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Woo hoo, it’s the long weekend, I don’t have anything planned but it will be nice to just relax, and get some cards done 😀 I have a LOT of birthdays in May and I’m already almost behind 😬 so I better get busy. Well enough about next week this week I have this really fun card. I needed to make a card for the Crazy4Challenges and this weeks challenge is a design/sketch challenge. I decided to turn the sketch sideways so my card does look a little it different.

Rainbow Circles slimline Shaker card-C4C534

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is healthy and well. Through this time of Covid 19 I have made a few “Thinking of You” cards. I made this one for a friend who really wanted to send a card to a special loved one in her life. This time is so hard on everyone and I thought this card would brighten someone’s day. It is also Crazy4Challenges time and this weeks challenge is to make a slim line card. A slime line card is a long skinny card, my card is 4”x9” so it fits the challenge 😀

Pull Out Flower basket card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Hey everyone I actually have a mid week post the week, welllll sort of. I was going through my photos of cards I made last year and I found this one. The only problem is is that I either didn’t take photos or I already deleted them. But I have the details from another card that I made at the same time that I did post last year. Exact same measurements exact same technique just different colours. So I thought I would share this pretty pink and red one today and I am linking to the directions from the one from last year if you want to know all of the dies that I’ve used and the measurements and how I cut and assembled. Here is the LINK to last years card.

The cardstock is all from Stampin Up and the colours are either Real Red or Ridinghood Red, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, and possibly Creamy Caramel.

The diesets used are the Woven Basket box card Pop up and the Flower Pot pop up die set, both from Karen Burniston.
