Babies 1st Christmas

Posted on December 8, 2024December 8, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

Well, I’m a week behind again. This is a card I made for last week’s Craft Roulette challenge, and these are the parameters…

My belly band is a bit different. I added a rope band around the center panel. My cottage colours are a bit of a stretch, the wood and greens would be found in the trees, and the red and white could be a flag or tablecloth that could be found at a cottage. Santa is wearing a coat. I upcycled this card base, it was a card base left over from a class I taught over 10 years ago (I hang on to everything for ever) I also upcycled the thread I used, it was from a tag.

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.

Posted on December 3, 2024December 2, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I love design team challenges if for no other reason than it challenges me to come up with ideas that I may not of come up with other wise. This months challenge was “Happy New Year” and I was a little stumped at first and for some reason every time I thought about what I would do the “I wish you a Merry Christmas….and a Happy New Year” would pop in my head. I thought it would be super cute to have singing snowmen.

Hello crafty friends, I finally got my blog post done for my latest Craft Roulette card. I think fit would make a good masculine card. Here are the parameters and this is my card.

Here is how I met the parameters. It is am asymmetrical gate fold card, produce is,e colours would be green veggies, blueberry’s, strawberries, bananas and the metallic from the grocery carts. I have an iron fence on the inside. It is hard to see ( but it shows better in the directions) the Snow White paper was crumpled before I glued it down.

There is something so elegant about a cream and gold Christmas card that I can’t help but make at least one a year. I thought gold ornaments would look pretty on a cream coloured tree, and this is what I came up with.

Belated Flower Fan Pop Up

At least once a year I feel the need to make a black and white with a pop of colour card. And every time I try to chose a different colour. I’m not sure why it took me so long to make a pop of teal, because teal is my favourite colour. I needed a special card for my niece and didn’t know at the time that teal is her favourite colour too. I also wanted to use the new Photo Fan Pop-up on a Birthday card as I have only made Christmas cards so far.
