Hello Sweet Baby

Posted on April 23, 2024April 23, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I got to have some fun playing Craft Roulette. I’ve been needing to make a baby card and the parameters for this week gave me the perfect opportunity.

This is how I met the parameters, babies are good tidings, I used a paper pack called “Best Summer Ever” by Echo Park, I used a triple pop up mechanism, and I tied 2 bows on the front of the card and one on the bear on the inside.

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 week I’ve got another Craft Roulette inspired card, I thought these parameters would make a good birthday card for my dad.

This is how I met the parameters. Trifold is three folds, I have one on each side and one on the bottom. Sleigh Ride colours, trees and snow can be seen on a sleigh ride. I googled jokes for older men and found this one. And the balloon on the front is way bigger than the rest so it is out of proportion.

Sweet Day – travel card

Posted on March 24, 2024March 24, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I have been looking for a reason to make a travel card and I thought this weeks Craft Roulette Card would be a good time. Karen Burniston made a Traveling Birthday Card a while back and I decide to make a card just to cheer up its recipients. Like the past few Craft Roulette challenges I also challenged myself to use a mechanism I haven’t used in a while and a die set I haven’t used before. Here are this weeks parameters…..

And this is how I met the parameters. It is an A2 sized card (which was a little hard for me as I usually make large cards), strawberry and chocolate ice cream colours. Who doesn’t love tasty ice cream, donuts or popcycles. And the squares are a hung banner. The Upsy Daisy Pop Up is a set I haven’t used in a while and the Sweet Treats Charms is the set that I haven’t used before.

Teacup full of Flowers Mother’s Day card

Posted on March 19, 2024March 19, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

So I’ve been trying to get this post done but I’ve been having some technical difficulties but here I am with this past weeks Craft Roulette challenge. When I decided what I was going to do I was pretty excited. I was looking for a reason to use the new Tea and Coffee pop up set with the Coffee Cup Pop up mechanism and this was it. Here are this weeks parameters.

How I met the parameters…. I have a heart on the “Happy Mothers Day” on the front, and on the inside beside “Love you”. I was stuck on vintage colours so I went through my paper stash to see if something jumped out at me and this paper did for several reasons. It has a vintage vibe with the pattern, but it also has a lace pattern right on it which takes care of the “lace on the base”. AND ITS ORANGE AND PURPLE, if you play Craft Roulette you will get the reference. The flowers are for the “plant” element.
