Peek-a-boo Monster

Posted on October 7, 2025October 6, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s spooky season and time to share my card for the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge. This month’s challenge is “Peek-A-Boo!” I wanted to make a fun card for one of my Granddaughters so I came up with this cute purple monster. I also have a mini monster peeking over the band on the front of the card. I knew I need to make 3 cards, for 3 sisters so I decided to make a series of Halloween cards using the same size card base, and the same colours and patterned paper. This card is the first of the series. I am also using some of Karens new stamps on this card.

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.

I thought it would be super cute to have singing snowmen.

Hoppy Birthday- Design team Challenge

Posted on July 2, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I’m running a little behind, but today is the Karen Burniston design team challenge. This card takes me back to my punch art days. I always found it fun using shapes to make other images. This months challenge is “Set Sail”. You you may be wondering what does a frog have to do with a boat. Well, she said we had to use a boat, but she didn’t say how. Look really close and you will see that the mouth of the frog is made out of the new Boat Pop up die set.
