Boho Congratulations- slimline,shaker, popup card

Posted on July 13, 2023July 12, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Sometimes I get special requests, and this card was a very special request. It is a graduation card from a mother to her daughter. I asked if there were colours or a style and she asked for a Boho style and sent me a photo of her daughters dress, which was a beautiful shade of blue. I chose to go with mostly neutral colours so the blue pieces would pop. I wanted to make it extra special so I have a borderless shaker card on the inside which is also visible from the peek a boo window on the front, and I added another see through shaker on the pop up mechanism on the inside. 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.

Floating Cupcake Birthday card

Posted on July 2, 2023July 2, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

What’s a birthday without a cupcake, or 2, or 6? I thought it would be fun to mix and match a couple of diesets while playing Craft Roulette and yes (as the title describes) the cupcakes on the front really float well they look like they float.

This weeks parameters are

So it’s obviously a birthday card, picnic colours (sky blue, green grass, red and orange for fruit that would be had at a picnic and of course CUPCAKES, I have a collection of cupcakes, and spots lol. For the black dots there are black circles in the patterned paper, there is a… on the inside message and I drew a couple of dots on the signature space.

Happy Birthday Cookie card

Posted on June 13, 2023July 2, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Yayyyyyy today is the day. Today is Karen Burnistons sneak peek for her June collection, and to say I have been having soooooo much fun with this release would be an understatement. I hope you all love it as much as I do.

I have been having so much fun with these new dies, I can’t decide which card to post first. As I’m writing this blog post this card is in the running. It is a fun mix of new and previously released dies, and if you like to bake, or have a baking loved one this set is a must. I also will explain how I made some of the other elements that I created to complete the scene.

Happy Houses

Posted on May 21, 2023May 22, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

A little late this week, but we we go. I’ve been really busy working on cards that I can”t show off yet (the Karen Burniston June sneak peek starts June 19th) so I have Craft Roulette card to share. This weeks parameters were a bit easy so I decided to add the challenge of using diesets I have, but haven’t used before, and to chose paper from my stash, not the pretty new paper I used for last weeks challenge, even though it would have been perfect for this card. lol. Craft Roulette parameters ⬇️

I made a shorter slim line (than I typically make), I think the colours I used could be seen at a tea part, including black for tea, I used the “word” Hello, I have hand drawn lines throughout but they are more noticeable on the front label, I added the little white lines on the pattern paper and borders as well.

Champagne Birthday

Posted on March 14, 2023March 13, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

When I saw this paper I knew if I teamed it up with this die-set it would make a fun masculine birthday card, and I think I was right. I needed a birthday card for my son who was turning 24 on the 24th that’s what makes it a champagne 🥂 birthday (in case you were wondering what a champagne birthday is 🥂 🎂)

For anyone who typically follows me you may notice that I will be making a few changes. I am trying to stream line my blogging a bit as I am finding it quite time-consuming. I have decided that since the majority of my cards, I use die sets from Karen Burnkston. Karen makes amazing videos, so if she has a video that explains the assembly of her mechanism or other dies I will link it. I will still give dimensions and helpful hints, and will definitely still explain any changes I make or other important info. The links I share are to her product page for that item, scroll down the page and she has video directions. Because of these changes I will add the links as I work my way through the post instead of at the end. So there in no mix up on what dies I used for each steps.
