Big Ears, Little Ears, and Chocolate Ears- March Design Team Challenge

Posted on March 5, 2024March 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

“Bunny Ears“ that is the challenge that Karen Burniston gave the design team for this months design team challenge, and what a fun challenge. I’m such a goofy card maker because I never really have a full plan when I sit down to make my card. For this card I knew I was going to have the big bunny on the front, and I knew I wanted to use a mechanism that I haven’t used in a while so I chose the WaterFall Card. Next I chose the pretty patterned paper that was part of a long retired Stampin Up pack then the matching cardstock. Everything else fell into place as I went along, and this is what I came up up with.

**** and for those of you who like when I explain and fix my mistakes I have quite a few on this one lol.

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.

Years ago, like 2006ish I made my first waterfall card. I was part of a Stampin Up group and it was taught to us in a class, I remember thinking it was so fun making this interactive card BUT, all the pieces were cut and scored with a trimmer, and the measurements had to be just right (the measurements for that card had very small flaps) or it wouldn’t flip. So as fun as I thought it was I never made another one, with a trimmer anyway. I’ve made a few using Karen Burnistons Frame Pull Pop up, but that also needs some alterations. This is my first time using Karen Burnistons Waterfall Card die set and this set definitely makes it way easier. I made this card in one evening.

…but who’s counting

Posted on June 27, 2022July 1, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

So my craft room has been packed up for A YEAR!!, with me sneaking a few things out from time to time. Now that I am trying to get my blog back on track, I’ve already had a special request, and I just had to go for it. A lady doesn’t turn 70 everyday, and my crazy craft brain went a little over the top for this one. I lost track of how many hours of die cutting and assembling (I need to find my alphabet stamps lol) but I had a vision and here it is….
