Snowman

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

It is the NOVEMBER KAREN BURNISTON DESIGNERS CHALLANGE and this months challenge is “Snowman”, so we had to make a card that incorporates a snowman. I decided it would be fun to make multiple snowman on one card, and show a different way to use the Snowman Add on dieset. The faces and other decorations could also be used on the Surprise Ball snowmen should you want to make a pop up card. This is what I came up with (I apologize if I’m missing anything thing, I wrote this post while flying in a plane. Lol)

Slimline Label Charm Accordion card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

When I first receive my Label Charm Pop-up dieset, the wheels in my brain started turning trying to plan a longer accordion version. I did make a different version (I’ll post a photo at the bottom of this post) but I changed it sooo many times when making it that my photos would make the tutorial too confusing. I came up with this version when I was trying to make an extra special card for my niece.

Golden Anniversary Triple Collage Pop up

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

When I found out that family friends of ours would be celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary I knew exactly the card I wanted to make. A few months ago Karen Burniston made a card using three of the Heart Collage mechanism, I wanted to switch it up a little bit. I put the Photo collage mechanism in the middle (bigger mechanism) and a two heart collage mechanism on either sides (smaller mechanism) and I wanted gold, LOTS of gold.

Triple Spin card- Halloween Haunted Mansion

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

This was almost the card I was going to post for last weeks designer challenge as the theme was Halloweenor or Fall but I decided that Inwanted to be different than the rest and go with fall. Back in July Karen Burniston made a card using the Spinner Square dieset, where she used it THREE TIMES on one card, to make a “Triple Square Spinner Card”. I absolutely love when she teaches new ways to use dies that I already have. But anyone who knows me knows that I challenge myself to find a way to put my own spin (yes the pun was intended) on it, so instead of squares I decided to make a giant Haunted Mansion. This is what I came up with.

With this technique not only does the haunted mansion pop up but the bats, and the “boo” swing from left to right, and the ghost swings from right to left.

October Designer Challenge- Fall Garden Bench card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

Yay, its that time again, it’s the Karen Burniston October Designer challenge, and this month’s challenge is to make either a Halloween card or a Fall-themed card and I went with a fall-themed card. I have a co-worker who needed an anniversary card, and he also was requesting a card with fall colours, there was also talk of there possibly being a wooden bench swing for a gift so I challenged myself to make the Karen Buriston Garden Bench popup into a swing, and the results turned out better than I thought it would.

Supplies are listed at the bottom
