Photo Fan Peacock- March Design Team challenge card

Posted on March 3, 2026March 2, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafty friends, sorry I’ve been MIA for the last bit but I have been away. I’m back now, just in time to create my card for the March Karen Burniston Design team challenge. 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.

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.

I decided to make the butterfly card to a pop up butter fly card.

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.
