Giant Pop up Dinosaur Birthday card

Posted on June 27, 2020June 27, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Is it still a birthday card if you have to mail it in box 🤔, this is by far the biggest birthday card I EVER made. I didn’t originally plan for it to be this big but one thing led to another and KaBang giant pop up dinosaur. My kids actually told me I was insane 🤦‍♀️ lol. This started off with my thinking about making a 2 ball dragon card. I had seems some pretty impressive dragons and was going to give it a go when I remembered that I had a dinosaur 🦖 skeleton stencil from YEARS ago and I thought hey why make a dragon when I can make a dinosaur and I hadn’t seen a Surprise Pop up Ball Dinosaur yet soooooo my mind was made up.

with this card all the fun is definitely 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.

Pop up Puppy Happy Birthday-C4C535

Posted on May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Woo hoo, it’s the long weekend, I don’t have anything planned but it will be nice to just relax, and get some cards done 😀 I have a LOT of birthdays in May and I’m already almost behind 😬 so I better get busy. Well enough about next week this week I have this really fun card. I needed to make a card for the Crazy4Challenges and this weeks challenge is a design/sketch challenge. I decided to turn the sketch sideways so my card does look a little it different.

This is the sketch

Have a Happy Super Duper Crazy Amazing Birthday-C4C533

Posted on May 1, 2020May 2, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello, sorry it’s been a week again, I have been busy making cards, but they are cards I am unable to post yet, plus I am still working full time and it’s been hard to fit it all in. Hopefully soon I can get back to posting twice a week. Anyway I do have a card for this weeks Crazy4Challenges challenge. This Saturday is “Free Comic book day” so this weeks challenge is to be inspired by a comic book. Hmm I don’t know much about comic books except that most Super Hero’s originally come from comic books sooooo that’s what I went with. I do know that my characters are from DC and Marvel and technically they wouldn’t be together but this is my card and all super hero’s are friend in my world lol. I also need to say that the characters are cased from a lady named Laura Robinson who shared them years ago, I originally made THIS card. (To see Laura’s characters scroll to the bottom)

Here is my card

No Border Hoppy Birthday Shaker card-C4C532 🐸

Posted on April 24, 2020April 25, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

I’d like to start by apologizing for being MIA for the last week, I’ve been working on some pretty detailed cards, and I’m still working full time so my Craftroom time as been pretty limited. This is my last weekend of hosting the Crazy4Challenges blog, it was so much fun, I can’t believe we are almost done with April (where did it go 🤔) on with the challenge, so apparently, according to the days of the year calendar April 25th is save the frogs day so this weeks challenge is to make a card with a frog 🐸 on it. I also decided I needed to make a “No Border” (at least on the sides) shaker card 🤯

Elmos Hip-Hip-Hooray Birthday card

Posted on March 30, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve been fighting a migraine for the last few days so I dug out a card from my Stampin up days. It is sooooo adorable, I just love Elmo. I actually made a stack of these at the time because I made them as part of a card swap. So these are easy to make multiples of and would also make great birthday invitations. If you want to change the colours and a few other small changes you could make any of the characters.

Surprise Elephant Birthday Card-C4C527

Posted on March 20, 2020March 20, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Welcome to the weekend Woo Hoo, is it just me or was this a really long week, wow. With all the craziness going on right now with the COVID-19 I am looking forward to a quiet weekend and hopefully some time in my craft space. I am so anxious to share this card, it cracks me up every time I open it. Lol 😆 I have been looking forward to making this card ever since I saw Karen Aiken’s Monkey Card for some reason I kept thinking the ovals would make great elephant ears.

This card is also a Crazy4Challenges challenge and this weeks challenge was a design challenge. I had to use a sketch for the front of the card and I was free to do the inside however I wanted. And this is what I came up with.

This card is so much better in a video, so to see this card in motion please check out my Facebook or my Instagram Please feel free to join my Facebook page if you would like to share your own crafty creations

The Gangs All Here

Posted on March 15, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Ever since Karen Burniston came out with the fun Surprise Ball pop up there have been so many fun animal cards. I have a friend who asked if I could make her a Long Horned Cow so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to try my hand at a double surprise pop up animal. I thought he was lonely so I made him some friends 🐑🐓🐐🐖🐎

Blow Me Away

Posted on February 25, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

So today I have a belated Valentine card. A coworker asked me if I could make him a card to give to his Star Wars lovin girlfriend knowing that not only was I not able to have it made by Valentine’s Day, it would probably be at least a week late, but he wanted it anyway so I thought that I would try to make it as special as I could. I’d be lying if I said this card didn’t have a few challenges it was a little trickier than I thought It would be but I just kept on moving forward and before I knew it, it was done. I also have to give credit to Lois Gray Bak as after seeing her “Death Star” gave me to idea to make this “Death Star”

This card had 2 separate pop up mechanisms and it LIGHTS UP 🤯
