Cascading Butterflies

Posted on July 16, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

IT’S NEW RELEASE DAY!!!!!!!! And what a great release!!!! So many fun options it was hard to decide where to start.

The first set I decided to play with was the Cascade Pop up. In all honesty when I first got the chance to play I had been sick for 2 weeks and I was not feeling very creative. I told myself I would go into my room for 15 minutes, and if I wasn’t feeling it, I would try again the next day. Well when I sat down I saw this gorgeous glittering butterfly gift bag that I had purchased before I got sick (I totally forgot about it) I thought that the butterflies would look beautiful flying up the Cascade pop up,

I had so much fun with this new release ESPECIALLY the new Playful Pop up, I am pretty sure it is my new favourite die set, as it is so versatile. I was so stumped on what card to chose because I had made a few (sorry not all posted yet) but then I unexpectedly needed to make a “Get Well Soon” card and I just love how it turned out so I knew it had to be this card.

Rainbow of Butterflies

Posted on February 17, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

It seems likes it’s been forever since I’ve played Craft Roulette and I soooo enjoyed making this card. This weeks parameters weren’t too hard and I had fun adding butterflies to butterflies to make this explosion of colour. Here are this week’s parameters.

Here is how I met the parameters… Book Binding Card is a style of card where the side fold looks like it’s binded. Candy colours were easy, these bright colours could be jelly beans or gummy candies. My little frog rhymes with “ogg” and Happy Birthday is the letters.

Dazzling Butterflies (K.I.S.S) card

Posted on March 24, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve been pretty busy (working on a really fun card for this weekends post 🤗) so I decided to post a card I made a while back (2014 😳). This is a back to basics kind of card with a little technique thrown in. If you look close I highlighted different spots on the butterflies with different colours of glitter. I found a way to colour my clearish Dazzling Diamonds glitter to match what ever colour of ink I was using. There wasn’t as many fun colours back then and even now sometimes it’s hard to find that exact match
