Merry Christmas my crafty friends, this will be my last post before Christmas. I am sharing my third Playful Pop up Character that I have created and it is this cute little elf licking a candy cane.

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.

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.
