Double Balloon Arch Graduation Card

Posted on May 24, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafty friends, today I am sharing a card that was inspired by Karen Burnistons Double Arch Coffee Cup Pop up. I thought it would be a fun way to make a really big Balloon arch for a graduation card. The school that this graduate attends does their graduation ceremony a bit different, it’s like they combine prom and grad at the same day, that’s why the little character on the inside is wearing more of a prom dress than the traditional cap and gown.

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.

Fabulous 50

Posted on August 20, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

I was a little stumped when making this card for my darling husband. He is the one person who gets to see ALL my cards in person, no matter who they are for and he is my biggest supporter in all that I create so I wanted this card to be extra special. I actually spent about 3 hours just cutting and colouring the balloons. It’s actually shinier in person as well.

Senility Prayer

Posted on April 10, 2024April 10, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

This week I’ve got another Craft Roulette inspired card, I thought these parameters would make a good birthday card for my dad.

This is how I met the parameters. Trifold is three folds, I have one on each side and one on the bottom. Sleigh Ride colours, trees and snow can be seen on a sleigh ride. I googled jokes for older men and found this one. And the balloon on the front is way bigger than the rest so it is out of proportion.
