Bold Brilliant Colourful You- January Release

Posted on January 28, 2026January 27, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

I know I say this every time there is a new Karen Burniston release, BUT I had so much fun playing with these new dies. I found myself in my craft room quite a bit these last few weeks (my house work has been slacking 🤫)

I am so excited to share my first card from Karen Burnistons January Release. This one is my personal favourite, I used some of my favourite colours and I think it turned out wonderful. This Peacock and on turns the Arch pop up into this cool peacock. You can make it with a few feathers or as many as you would like to add. I decided to make a matching little peacock.

All the fun is 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.

Too Cute Monster Ball Pop up

I thought that I would get a bit creative with the Monster Playful Add on, They are meant to go on the Playful Pop Up but I thought I would see how they work on some of the pop up balls. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Sending Bugs and Kisses Box-January Design Team challenge

Posted on January 6, 2026January 6, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Happy New Year crafty friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing my take on Karen Burniston’s January designer challenge which is “Bugs”. For those of you that follow along (and actually read) my blog you know that when I make a project I typically figure it out as I go. This project is definitely one of those. I started with a loose idea and then I went completely down the rabbit hole and ended up with this. Typically I add links through out the post but because most of these use mostly the same die sets I will link them at the end. If you follow the link, Karen has video tutorials for each set (just scroll down a bit once you get to the product)

I have to say I think these little critters are adorable!!!!!

Peek-a-boo Monster

Posted on October 7, 2025October 6, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s spooky season and time to share my card for the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge. This month’s challenge is “Peek-A-Boo!” I wanted to make a fun card for one of my Granddaughters so I came up with this cute purple monster. I also have a mini monster peeking over the band on the front of the card. I knew I need to make 3 cards, for 3 sisters so I decided to make a series of Halloween cards using the same size card base, and the same colours and patterned paper. This card is the first of the series. I am also using some of Karens new stamps on this card.
