Today I have a Christmas card that I made using some more of Karen Burnistons NEW RELEASE. The main die set I used is the Fireplace Pop-up, and I also used the Fireplace Extras 1 (Christmas themed) and Fireplace Extras 2. There are so many pieces in these sets that the possibilities are endless as they can’t also mix and match with other prereleased sets. This is the card that I came up with.

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.

Sliding Skeleton Shaker Pop up card

Posted on August 24, 2022September 5, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

IT’S SNEAK PEAK TIME, and I’m so EXCITED. I made a few cards and I had a hard time choosing which one to post first. I decided on this one because it uses 3 new products so it’s 3 sneak peaks 😁. This adorable Skeleton from the Skeleton and Bats set, the Slim Pattern Plate- Spiders, and the Slim Pattern Plate – Bats. All the dies used for this card are from Karen Buriston, I will list them as I go, and all the links will be at the bottom of this post. I cut enough pieces so I made 2 cards. The front of the card is a shaker, with a skeleton, I didn’t want him to get stuck upside down so I added him to a thread so he could glide up and down with out the possibility of him flipping upside down. Links are at the bottom of the page

The inside has this fun pop-up with all these adorable Halloween characters

Shades of Autumn Wedding Card

Posted on August 21, 2022August 20, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s been a while since I’ve made a wedding card so I was happy to have the chance to make this one. The picture doesn’t do it justice, the paper frames are very intricate and add a lot of dimension to the card. I was inspired by the invitation and that’s how I chose the colours. Also on the back of the card is a pocket, as we were gifting cash to the newlyweds

Birthday, Little Labels Popup, Pop up card, Uncategorized

The perfect gift….

Posted on August 10, 2022August 10, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

This card is a bit late this week, it’s my hubby’s birthday card and I had to wait to post it until after I gave it to him. I had a lot of fun playing with the patterned paper for this card, I have a huge pile of different black and white patterns, and I will have to play with it more often. It’s hard to tell in some of the photons but I used 3 different shades of green as well

Label Challenge Card

Posted on August 1, 2022August 2, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

Today is my first official challenge blog post as a Karen Burniston design team member, and I’m so excited to share this card 😊. The challenge this month was “Labels” and I was in a bit of a pickle. I own a LOT of KB dies but I don’t currently own any of the “Labels” dies. I placed an order but was concerned they wouldn’t get to me in time so I reached out to fellow design team member Karen Aicken who lives in the same province as I do and asked if she could die cut a few pieces for me, and not only did she send me what I asked for, she die cut pieces from 3 different Labels sets in black and white. Thank you Karen, without your help I wouldn’t have this lovely card.
