Fabulous 50

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

I was a little stumped when making this card for my darling husband. He is the one person who gets to see ALL my cards in person, no matter who they are for and he is my biggest supporter in all that I create so I wanted this card to be extra special. I actually spent about 3 hours just cutting and colouring the balloons. It’s actually shinier in person as well.

Good luck in Grade 1-August design team challenge

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafty friends, today is design team challenge day and this months challenge was to make a bottom fold card. At first I was a little stumped and then I remembered a card that Karen made a few years ago (Red Christmas card) and thought that this technique would be perfect to make a box of crayons and have the crayons slide out of the box. This is what I came up with…..

I cheated a bit as it is also a gate fold card with a bottom fold that activated the mechanism. I also made a lot of mistakes and had some tech problems along the way with this one and had to change things on the fly, I will explain as I go along.
