Double Balloon Arch Graduation Card

Posted on May 24, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafty friends, today I am sharing a card that was inspired by Karen Burnistons Double Arch Coffee Cup Pop up. I thought it would be a fun way to make a really big Balloon arch for a graduation card. The school that this graduate attends does their graduation ceremony a bit different, it’s like they combine prom and grad at the same day, that’s why the little character on the inside is wearing more of a prom dress than the traditional cap and gown.

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.

Take 2 – Butterfly Card

Posted on January 11, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

So I have to admit, that I’m a bit of a pack rat. I have a hard time getting rid of anything that I might “use one day” so I decided to start using up some of my older cards that I have in box or cards that I may have started and not finished and I am calling them “Take 2 Cards” because it will be their second chance of making it out of my craft room.

The card below was part of card swap that I was part of when I was a Stampin Up Demo, over ten years ago. (Don’t judge me lol) If I remember correctly I made ten for the swap and since I was on a roll I made a few more. But since then I have been addicted to pop up cards. I decided to make the butterfly card to a pop up butter fly card.
