It’s Craft Roulette time, I actually just got the card done in time for the Sunday night deadline, lol, so I didn’t get my blog post done until now. I found this weeks parameters a little bit tricky. Parameter 1- was a Dutch Door card, meaning the front had to be split having a top and a bottom. I chose to have my bottom open to the left and my top open to the right. Parameter 2- the colours had to be campfire colours, Parameter 3- had to be a page from a book and Parameter 4- it had to have a hat or cap. My gnomes are all wearing hats, but I could not cut a page out of a book. So I decided to take a page out of a colouring book, and colour the flowers in yellows, oranges and reds. I don’t colour often so this was my time consuming part lol, I’ll explain more in the details below. And of course my own parameter was to make a pop up card.

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.

It’s that time, time for the May Karen Burnistons Design Team Challenge. This months challenge is “Bejewelled” , we need to incorporate something Shiny or Sparkly. I wanted to find a fun way to used the Swirls Pattern plate in a different way, I thought it would be pretty to make a swirly rainbow shaker card. And can you believe or, it’s not a pop up card 😳

Yeah I’m a little late this week, my day job is cutting into my craft time, if you’ve been following you’d see that I have been playing along with Craft Roulette, it is quite fun and sometimes following the parameters is quite a challenge, but so worth it when a fun and unique card comes out of it. This weeks parameters are…..

My card of choice is “pop up” , I used strawberry fields colours, my bench is my chair, and I used yellow plaid. Here is my card.

Crafty Friend Birthday Card

Posted on April 15, 2023April 15, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

I am sooo bummed, I just did this blog, the entire thing, was in the very last steps and for some reason my app closed and I lost it all 😢 so here I go again. I really like how this colour combo works together. I’m not typically a yellow/orange person but I really like how these colours pop against the blue. I’ve been having so much fun with Craft Roulette, so I thought I’d play again. This weeks parameters were to have a “card on a card”, “Sky view” colours, it had to have a “table” (this one almost got me) end it had to have white dots or spots. So I went with a messy craft table, with a slimline card sitting on top (bonus challenge, if you know me if there is a card on my messy table it would be a pop up card, so I made a pop up card for my mini card) The colours I chose remind me of a sunset. And the flowers all have little white dots and the gems look like white dots against the blue. This card design is based on a Valentine card that Karen Burniston made a few years ago.
