Have a Merry Slothy Christmas

Posted on December 9, 2025December 9, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

What says Christmas like a big fuzzy pink sloth, lol. I have a sweet little granddaughter that has her most favourite toy in the world and you probably guessed it but it is a pink fuzzy sloth. When I saw her last her I asked what kind of Christmas card would you like and she said a “Baboo Card”, but I want Baboo on the inside. I have made her a few cards with a her little sloth friend hanging out but this is the first one that I have made her that is this big. I think it turned out pretty cute.

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.

Well, I’m a week behind again. This is a card I made for last week’s Craft Roulette challenge, and these are the parameters…

My belly band is a bit different. I added a rope band around the center panel. My cottage colours are a bit of a stretch, the wood and greens would be found in the trees, and the red and white could be a flag or tablecloth that could be found at a cottage. Santa is wearing a coat. I upcycled this card base, it was a card base left over from a class I taught over 10 years ago (I hang on to everything for ever) I also upcycled the thread I used, it was from a tag.

…..and A Happy New Year- December Design Team Challanges

Posted on December 3, 2024December 2, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I love design team challenges if for no other reason than it challenges me to come up with ideas that I may not of come up with other wise. This months challenge was “Happy New Year” and I was a little stumped at first and for some reason every time I thought about what I would do the “I wish you a Merry Christmas….and a Happy New Year” would pop in my head. I thought it would be super cute to have singing snowmen.

Here is how I met the parameters. It is am asymmetrical gate fold card, produce is,e colours would be green veggies, blueberry’s, strawberries, bananas and the metallic from the grocery carts. I have an iron fence on the inside. It is hard to see ( but it shows better in the directions) the Snow White paper was crumpled before I glued it down.
