Double Easter Bunny cards- April designer challenge

Posted on April 4, 2023April 2, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Easter is just around the corner, so when Karen announced that the April Designer Challenge was to have a card with a “Bunny” on it, it was kind of a no brainer. This card has an Easter Bunny on the outside and a chocolate bunny on the inside. This is my take on a CARD that Karen Burniston made a couple of years ago. For those of you that know me, you know why I need 2 👧🏼👧🏼

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.

Birthday, craft Roulette, Easel Card

Touch of gold, Birthday Card

Posted on April 1, 2023April 1, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

So apparently Craft Roulette is going to be a thing now lol. It is pretty fun, and a great way to come up with cards that you may not have. This week’s parameters were to 1- make an Easel card, 2- colours that you would find in a cornucopia, 3- rhyme with “ake” and 4- has to have something gold on it. So I have a slimline with an easel feature on one side, I used red, gold, yellow, and green. I have a slice of “cake”, I have a gold thread around the easel with a bow, and pulling double duty I have “Gold Flakes” used as confetti

Masculine Balloon Bouquet

Posted on March 27, 2023March 26, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

I had so much fun playing Craft Roulette last week that I thought it play again. This weeks perimeters are “mini drop down”, colours “from patterned paper”, it has to have a “bouquet”, and at least 3 layers. I chose to use the Pop n Swap die-set from Karen Burniston, and instead of a flower bouquet I made a balloon bouquet. I dug this patterned paper out of my stash, and I actually have 4 layers.

Happy Mothers Day paper frames card

Posted on March 18, 2023March 18, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

So I had fun on a Friday night lol, Karen Burniston was a guest on the Craft Roulette YouTube Live . The idea of Craft Roulette is the host Mary Gunn, spins a wheel 4 times, to get 4 parameters in which you must use to make your card. The parameters are -Project, Colors, Element, and Random. So nobody knows what kind of card they are making until after the wheel randomly chooses. Last nights parameters ended up being a 5” x 7” card, in Spring colours, Starts with “G” and “outside the lines” so my card ended up being a 5” x 7” card , with mostly pastel colours with a few pops, I have gnomes in a garden, and a little bit of glimmer (wink of Stella on butterflies and some sequins) and my “out side the lines” is that the gnomes are peeking over from outside the lines of the label shape, and some of my other elements hang over the lines of the mechanism. If you play along don’t forget to post your card on the Craft Roulette website . Here is my card
