Z Fold Flower Pot Pop up

Posted on July 15, 2023July 15, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

If someone were to ask me what my card making style is I would call it cute, or fun pop ups with a lot of little details. I like bright colours, and cute images. I like pretty cards but I don’t typically make them. I think this one is a really pretty one, and I love how it turned out.

This card also happens to be a Craft Roulette card, and this weeks challenges are below ⬇️

These parameters were pretty easy so of course I had to challenge my self to also make it a popup card. That was the tricky part, as it was a little more difficult to fit a pop up, in a Z fold card. Any colours was easy, as it didn’t matter what I chose, “old” was pretty easy, I chose ribbon that was my first Ebay purchase when Ebay first started, also old would be the fork bow technique that I used to make the bow. I really lucked out when I got to chose from my mesk as I still had this beautiful paper pack on my desk from when I made this card Hello Friend Card, apparently I need to clean my desk more often.

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.

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.

Sending Hugs, double Oval Frames Popup

Posted on July 9, 2023July 9, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve been thinking about pulling out the Oval Frames Pop-up dieset but was trying to think of a creative way to use it. Then I sat down to watch Friday’s episode of Craft Roulette and it came to me. These are this weeks parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The 2 folds are the gate folds, I decided to make a wooden slat planter and fill it with brightly coloured flowers. The 2 girl gnomes both have a smiley face, and the old product I used was old string and an old pink metallic elastic thread to tie the bow on the front.

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.
