Teacup full of Flowers Mother’s Day card

Posted on March 19, 2024March 19, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

So I’ve been trying to get this post done but I’ve been having some technical difficulties but here I am with this past weeks Craft Roulette challenge. When I decided what I was going to do I was pretty excited. I was looking for a reason to use the new Tea and Coffee pop up set with the Coffee Cup Pop up mechanism and this was it. Here are this weeks parameters.

How I met the parameters…. I have a heart on the “Happy Mothers Day” on the front, and on the inside beside “Love you”. I was stuck on vintage colours so I went through my paper stash to see if something jumped out at me and this paper did for several reasons. It has a vintage vibe with the pattern, but it also has a lace pattern right on it which takes care of the “lace on the base”. AND ITS ORANGE AND PURPLE, if you play Craft Roulette you will get the reference. The flowers are for the “plant” element.

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.

Princess for a Day

Posted on March 11, 2024March 11, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I had so much fun making this card. And I love how my little circle flowers turned out. This card was inspired by Craft Roulette and I know that I never would have come up with this card otherwise. Even before I watched the episode I told myself I was going to either use a mechanism I haven’t used in a while or I would use a set that I haven’t used before. With this card I actually did both. Here are the parameters

Now I think I was pretty clever with how I used an envelope, I actually cut one in half and made it a gift card holder under the bottom flap. I think the bright colours would be perfect for a party. I have 2 crowns, one on the “P” on the front of the card, and one on the princess that is inside the card. The 3 strips of paper were used to makes the verticle belly ban. Green cardstock, green patterned paper, and flower the paper. So for my personal challenge I used the Slim Flaps and Frames and the Mini Pops for the mechanisms I haven’t used in a while, and the Word set 5- Royalty for the die set I’ve never used before.

Mandala and Flowers- Thinking of you

Posted on March 6, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I’m back with another fun Craft Roulette Card. I actually had to dig out a stamp for this one. These are the parameters…

And this is how I met the parameters… It is a “Thinking of You” card, I think pastels are pretty fairy tale colours. Garden gnomes have ears and can hear. And I stamped the mandala on the background of the front.

Framed Friends Christmas card

Posted on November 26, 2023November 26, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve just made another Christmas card to add to my pile. I actually made a really huge mistake, that led me to switching up the card, and I truely think it is better than what it would have been. I played Craft Roulette to come up with this card. These are this weeks parameters

This is how I used the parameters, the framed penguin “drops down” when the card is closed. Supper table colours, wood frame/wood table, the greens and reds are salad colours, blue and white could be the table cloth and the other colours are neutral. The season I chose was Christmas, and there are red mirror cardstock accents and little gems.

Swirling Snowflakes

Posted on November 18, 2023November 18, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s been a couple of busy weeks but I finally have a card to post. I thought I would play Craft Roulette to inspire a much needed Christmas card to add to my small pile. The Craft Roulette Parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

How this card meets the parameters is…the mechanism in the middle is a “fancy fold” the twists when the card opens. I think of teals and silver when I think of “aquarium colours”, I used snowflakes to represent “November” and I have the little gems randomly around but I have them grouped in “clusters of 3” in several areas.
