Blue and Green Birthday Candles Card

Posted on April 8, 2025April 7, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello, hello, crafty pals, today is the Karen Burnistons April Design team challenge and this month challenge is “designers choice” and you’d think that would be easy, but do you think I could come up with something lol. I was totally overthinking it. In the end I was bopping around Karen’s Webisite and I came across this Love Hearts Pop-up Instruction Sheet and thought it would be fun. I swapped out the Hearts add on for the Birthday Candles add on and this is what 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.

Soooo I really wore my stretchy pants for this one, as typically an A2 card is a specific sized card that is 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and I don’t know how I forgot this parameter when I started the card. Who I am kidding, I got excite when I found card stock to match this fun paper that reminded me of a blue and white tea set that I own, and the green for green tea, and that the candles had “stripes” I totally got half way through assembly when I had that ooh oh moment. There really isn’t a way to make a square accordion card into an A2 so I was just going to finish the card and forget about submitting then I had the idea to mix papers on the greeting on the front and made the “A” and the “2” in gold. oh and I also fashioned the dog into my sweet Lexi wearing a party hat. Phew parameters met ✔️

Today I’m sharing a card the uses the new Heart Add on with the Fancy Label Accordion. I really like making black and white cards with a pop of colour, and since it is a Valentine’s Day card I thought red would be the perfect pop.
