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.

This month challenge is “For the Birds”, and I decided to see if I could add the Peacock Add-ons pieces to the Photo Fan Pop-up as apposed to the Arch Pop-up that it was intended for. This is what I came up with.

Bold Brilliant Colourful You- January Release

Posted on January 28, 2026February 5, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

I know I say this every time there is a new Karen Burniston release, BUT I had so much fun playing with these new dies. I found myself in my craft room quite a bit these last few weeks (my house work has been slacking 🤫)

I am so excited to share my first card from Karen Burnistons January Release. This one is my personal favourite, I used some of my favourite colours and I think it turned out wonderful. This Peacock and on turns the Arch Pop Up into this cool peacock. You can make it with a few feathers or as many as you would like to add. I decided to make a matching little peacock.
