October Designer Challenge- Fall Garden Bench card

Posted on October 4, 2022October 3, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

Yay, its that time again, it’s the Karen Burniston October Designer challenge, and this month’s challenge is to make either a Halloween card or a Fall-themed card and I went with a fall-themed card. I have a co-worker who needed an anniversary card, and he also was requesting a card with fall colours, there was also talk of there possibly being a wooden bench swing for a gift so I challenged myself to make the Karen Buriston Garden Bench popup into a swing, and the results turned out better than I thought it would.

Supplies are listed at the bottom

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.

Autumn Anniversary-C4C556

Posted on October 9, 2020October 9, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello, I’m back again after a couple of busy weeks, I’m hoping to get back on track and more consistent soon, autumn is definitely in the air here so that is why I choose this colour scheme for this card (I love fall colours 🍁 🍂 🍁) This card was also made for this weeks Crazy4Challenges challenge which was to make a bridge card. The great thing about bridge cards is you don’t need anything special to make them, they have a great profile and can fit any theme or colour scheme.

Spin Me Right Round 2.0

Posted on March 2, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

This is a card I made by request. I was ask to make a card similar to this card. Whenever I get a request to make a card based on an other card I always try to make it different or better. When I made the first card and it was finished I had regretted not making the buttons interactive in some way as well. So this card was my second chance.

This spinning card was inspired to by a couple of YouTube videos, I am linking them as this is not my original idea and I got inspiration from these but did not follow directly Video 1 Video 2

So I’ve been looking through my old cards and I came across this card that I made my husband 10 years ago. It was an anniversary card that I made for our 10th anniversary. But it’s kind of pretty and it could pass for a valentine card so I thought I would share today.

I’ll Always Be….Right There-anniversary-C4C506

Posted on October 14, 2019October 14, 2019 by mymessycraftroom5

So apologies for being M.I.A. this last week, what can I say, life happens and I wasn’t able to get anywhere near my craft room, and I didn’t even have time to find an old card to blog about, but here I am hoping to get back on track. I am also a few days late for the Crazy4Challenges challenge this week. I am going to add my card anyway as I have just finished making it. This weeks challenge was to incorporate music into the card. I needed to make an anniversary card so I decided to incorporate the Lyrics to the song “I’ll Always Be Right There” as this was the song that was played for the happy couples first dance.
