Dive into five- under the sea birthday card

Posted on September 15, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

I have to say that I am quite giddy about this card. My granddaughter was having her fifth birthday party and it has going to be an under the sea/mermaid themed card. In the past I have made her cards starring her favourite pink sloth stuffy. I thought this time I would go with just the mermaid under the sea card. The she asked me specially if I could make her a card with her little buddy on, and a heart, a BIG heart. I had already cut out all the sea creatures so I had to think about how I was going to add our pink fluffy friend and this is what I came up with….

Toy Box with Blocks- July Design team challenge

Posted on July 7, 2026July 6, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

How cute is this card, I was originally not sure what I was going to make for this months design team challenge, which is “box or blocks”. But then I remembered that I recently purchased the Treasure Chest dieset and I thought that it would make a great toy box, and then when choosing toys I decided to add the blocks, so I covered both options for this months challenge.

House of Baseball cards

Posted on June 22, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

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)

I came up with this 5”x7” card

Mostly Monochromatic Label Charm Birthday card

Posted on April 22, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafters, I really love the look of monochromatic cards, well this one is mostly monochromatic, I added the green leaves to break up a bit of the orange and yellow, and I really love how this turned out.
