Hoppy Birthday- Design team Challenge

Posted on July 2, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I’m running a little behind, but today is the Karen Burniston design team challenge. This card takes me back to my punch art days. I always found it fun using shapes to make other images. This months challenge is “Set Sail”. You you may be wondering what does a frog have to do with a boat. Well, she said we had to use a boat, but she didn’t say how. Look really close and you will see that the mouth of the frog is made out of the new Boat Pop up die set.

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, or TikTok 😊

Todays card pulls DOUBLE DUTY….. it is Design team challenge day AND it is my second Sneak peak card for Karen Burnistons December Release. The Design Team challenge was to have a Christmas stocking on the card, I chose to use the stocking border on the front as well as having them as ornaments on the tree.

It’s hard to tell in the photograph but I did use the brand new Raising PlatformPop up dieset. The tree top raises up outside the limits of the card when opened.

Holiday House Easter card- designer challenge

Posted on September 5, 2023September 5, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

I was so excited when Karen Burniston chose this challenge for the September Design Team Challenge. The challenge was to chose a Holiday and add the Holiday House. She was hoping we would chose different holidays to show how versatile this cute little house can be. I chose to make an Easter card. The design changed in my mind several times but I knew I want to have an Easter egg hunt with pretty spring colours and this is what I came up with.
