Monochromatic Label Charm Birthday card

Posted on February 17, 2023February 26, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Here today with another NEW release dieset, no, not the Label Charm, that was a previous release, not the Big Birthday charms, have you figured it out yet. It’s the new Labels crosshatch from the New Rectangles and Labels Crosshatch die set. The new labels stack beautifully with the labels from the Label Charm Pop up set AND we now have a frame to go around the front window which gives the card front that finished look. I was pretty excited when I saw it. It is definitely a must-have if you already own the Label Charm set, plus the rectangles in the new set were made to fit 5” x 7” cards. I have used these so much already, you will have to keep your eyes open in upcoming posts.

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.

Merry Little Twist Panel Cocktail sneak peek card

Posted on February 14, 2023February 26, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

SURPRISE!!!! It’s a February mini-release, and it is so fun. It definitely has a beachy feel but the Little Twist Panel is very generic and can be used for any occasion.

A perk to being on Karen Buristons design team is we get the diesets in advance so we can have plenty of cards made in time for the sneak peek, so the day I got them I could not wait to play. Even though this is a Christmas card it could easily be made into a birthday, anniversary, just about anything.

Little Twist panel Valentines- sneak peek

Posted on February 11, 2023February 26, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Surprise, I had so much fun with this release I have 2 cards 2 days in a row 😀 I really wasn’t thinking when I was sitting down writing my blogs so I have 2 Little Twist Panel cards in a row. The Valentine’s cards had to be posted on Valentines Day, and I already had the other post all typed out. The previous card (if you missed it) was showing 2 mechanisms in a slimline card, this post shows 1 mechanism in a cute little square note card, like I said, this set is so versatile.

I thought this die set would make adorable valentines, and I was right, these are so cute, they are only 4 1/4” square and these Little Twist Panel mechanisms work perfectly. I could have actually made them even smaller if I wanted to but I also want to use the largest square crosshatch to cut the layers for the front inside and back and they are 4 1/8th Square. According to Karen B, you can fit this mechanism inside a 3 1/2” square card 🤯 I decided to make 2 cards using the same materials but opposite of each other.

Love you more than ice cream -February designer Challenge

Posted on February 5, 2023February 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Its that time again, it’s time for the February Karen Burniston designers challenge. This months challenge is all about Love. We were given the option of a Valentine, wedding or anniversary card. I decided to go with a Valentine. When making a Valentine for my hubby I try to stay a way from pink, I found this purple and blue striped paper from my stash so I went with it. Ice cream is our guilty pleasure so I thought it would be fun to use the Ice-cream sundae pop-up dieset.

Water Colour Waterfall Card

Posted on January 30, 2023January 29, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

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.
