3-D – My Messy Craft Room

Poppin red Stage Pop up Balloon card

Posted on June 30, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

I always find making cards for teenage boys tough. I was flipping through my patterned paper and I came across this grey and black checkered paper and I thought that it would be a good start. I decided to go with black, grey, silver and red. It’s hard to tell but there is a red and a silver metallic elements as well.

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.

Hello crafty friends, sorry I have been MIA for the last bit, I was hoping to share this card before I left but I had to wait for the recipient to receive it . I hadn’t played wth the house of cards for a while so I thought I would give it a go. The recipient is a baseball player and I had a handful of his baseball cards from one of the teams he plays for (I did keep a few safe, if he makes it to the pros I will have to get him to sign them for me)

Bold Brilliant Colourful You- January Release

Posted on January 28, 2026February 5, 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.

Too Cute Monster Ball Pop up

Posted on January 18, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

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.
