Vertical Double Wiggle Birthday Bugs card

Posted on May 14, 2024May 14, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

Last week for the Karen Burniston design team challenge Karen posted a VIDEO on how to create a “Wiggle Card” and I thought to myself “I need to make one of these!!!” But like most of my cards I don’t actually have a complete plan when I start my card so I decided on the fly to turn it vertical and to add a second set of wiggle mechanism. This is what I came up with. All the insects (with the exception of the bottom blue butterfly) and the XOXO wiggle when the card opens and closes.

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, or TikTok 😊

Hello crafty friends, today is designer challenge day for the Karen Burnistons design team. This months challenge is “from the fault” and we were asked to create a card using a previously made card as inspiration.

Totally Epic Birthday card

Posted on May 4, 2024May 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

So sort of a funny story behind this one. I needed a birthday card for my nephew. And I was going to make him a cupcake card. Who doesn’t love cupcakes. My husband asked me what kind of card I was making and how old was our nephew going to be. And he was like “you are not making our teenage nephew a cupcake card, your going to call you sister and find out what he is into and your going to make him a cool card”. So I did and she filled me in on a video game that I have never heard of before. Google saved me again. If you read the green letters, it spells the name of the video game.

So bummed, I’ve been too busy to play in my craft room ☹️. So I thought I’d scroll through my photos to see if I had a card that I hadn’t posted yet, and I came across these photos. I actually edited and created the slides below last spring and forgot to make a post 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope as I scroll through I will remember the steps that I took. Here goes.….

Senility Prayer

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.
