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.

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.

Rainbow of Butterflies

Posted on February 17, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

It seems likes it’s been forever since I’ve played Craft Roulette and I soooo enjoyed making this card. This weeks parameters weren’t too hard and I had fun adding butterflies to butterflies to make this explosion of colour. Here are this week’s parameters.

Here is how I met the parameters… Book Binding Card is a style of card where the side fold looks like it’s binded. Candy colours were easy, these bright colours could be jelly beans or gummy candies. My little frog rhymes with “ogg” and Happy Birthday is the letters.

Belated Flower Fan Pop Up

Posted on November 12, 2024November 11, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

At least once a year I feel the need to make a black and white with a pop of colour card. And every time I try to chose a different colour. I’m not sure why it took me so long to make a pop of teal, because teal is my favourite colour. I needed a special card for my niece and didn’t know at the time that teal is her favourite colour too. I also wanted to use the new Photo Fan Pop-up on a Birthday card as I have only made Christmas cards so far.
