Vertical Double Wiggle Birthday Bugs card

Posted on May 14, 2024May 14, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

Last week for the Karen Burniston design team challenge Karen posted a VIDEO on how to create a “Wiggle Card” and I thought to myself “I need to make one of these!!!” But like most of my cards I don’t actually have a complete plan when I start my card so I decided on the fly to turn it vertical and to add a second set of wiggle mechanism. This is what I came up with. All the insects (with the exception of the bottom blue butterfly) and the XOXO wiggle when the card opens and closes.

Senility Prayer

This week I’ve got another Craft Roulette inspired card, I thought these parameters would make a good birthday card for my dad.

This is how I met the parameters. Trifold is three folds, I have one on each side and one on the bottom. Sleigh Ride colours, trees and snow can be seen on a sleigh ride. I googled jokes for older men and found this one. And the balloon on the front is way bigger than the rest so it is out of proportion.

Birthday, Tiny Trees

Joy Fold Pop Up Tree card.

Posted on April 2, 2024April 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I was in need of a masculine birthday card when I sat down to make this Craft Roulette card. I was stumped for a day because I also wanted to make a pop up card but I wasn’t sure how to work that in with parameters. I actually hadn’t figured it until after I started. Here are this weeks parameters…

The way the card is folded is a Joy Fold card, I actually made a slimline Joyfold, I think the colours used could be seen on a buggy ride, the colours of the sky, grass, trees and the colours of buildings could be seen in the striped paper. The sticks can be found in the trees and the stones are around the trees. The trim is the twine around the front and the woven ribbon on the front and inside of the flap. I had the added challenge of making it a masculine card and working in the pop up.

Triple Flip Tea Time

Posted on February 27, 2024February 27, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

It seems like it’s been months, well I guess it has since I’ve been able to play Craft Roulettte . But I made sure to make some time this weekend because I do really enjoy playing along.

Here are this weeks parameters

This is how my card meets the parameters. I’ve used the Triple Flip dieset on the front and the Twist Flower dieset (a twist can be a flip right?) on the inside, and well this card has several folds within the mechanism. Main Street colours would be the grey sidewalk, the red bricks, and the other colours would be in the murals that we have in and around our Main Street. Walks would be the cat, cats walk. And I have hearts sprinkled through out and the teacup on the inside has a large heart.
