Happy Birthday 2 U Candle Card

Posted on July 29, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

Yay I got to play Craft Roulette this weekend , and make a card I needed to have done sooner then I typically get them done. Lol. Gotta love when things fall into place and I really love how this card turned out!!!

Soooo I really wore my stretchy pants for this one, as typically an A2 card is a specific sized card that is 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” and I don’t know how I forgot this parameter when I started the card. Who I am kidding, I got excite when I found card stock to match this fun paper that reminded me of a blue and white tea set that I own, and the green for green tea, and that the candles had “stripes” I totally got half way through assembly when I had that ooh oh moment. There really isn’t a way to make a square accordion card into an A2 so I was just going to finish the card and forget about submitting then I had the idea to mix papers on the greeting on the front and made the “A” and the “2” in gold. oh and I also fashioned the dog into my sweet Lexi wearing a party hat. Phew parameters met ✔️

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.

Autumn Trees Anniversary

Posted on September 27, 2023September 27, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s been a minute but I finally have a Craft Roulette inspired card. I had a lot of fun with this card, I made quite a few boo boos, but I continued through and I love how it turned out.

This week’s parameters are ⬇️⬇️⬇️ and I gave myself a couple other challenges as well. 1- besides the card base all of the other card stock had to come from my scrap bin. I have so much scrap paper I did not allow myself to cut from a full sheet. 2- use a die set that I have not used before, this is the first time I have used Karen Burnistons Family room Pop up , and 3- Mixed Media was a topic that was discussed on this weeks episode of Craft Roulette so I thought that I would give it a try.

The circles are little clear dots on the front, and the message space on the inside. The vegetable garden colours – orange pumpkin, red tomatoes, yellow corn, beans, green beans, peas, leaves, brown potatoes, blue sky. The screen element was tricky but the red fabric has a “screen” like weave to it, the ribbon has a bigger “screen” weave to it. The fluff is all over the trees, I used Flower soft to create this look.

C4C Challenge, shaker card

You Make me Happy-C4C513

Posted on November 29, 2019 by mymessycraftroom5

Wow has this month just flown by, I have totally enjoyed hosting for the Crazy4Challenges blog this month and I loved seeing all the cards that the amazingly talented design team have come up with. We are down to the last challenge and for this challenge I thought I would try something different. I had a piece of art where I work and I always found it interesting, It totally wouldn’t work in my living room but I thought that it would make a great challenge. So the challenge was to use this piece of art as inspiration. The designers were able to choose to use it as a colour challenge, design, texture, or however it spoke to them. I’m anxious to see what they did. 🙂

and this is what I came up with

to see what the rest of the design team came up with please check this out C4CBlog

Birthday, interactive, MOTION CARD, Triple Flip

Celebrate Your Way

Posted on August 13, 2019 by mymessycraftroom5

I’ve got a fun Birthday card today, and it is the first time that I used my Triple Flip die sest. This card is for someone who doesn’t like a lot of fuss for his Birthday so I made the front flaps look like a traditional Birthday card with cake, a gift, and balloons, but when the flaps are flipped they reveal the way he would rather take in the day which would be hanging out with his dog, enjoying a cold beer, watching Ghost Hunters lol

If you would like to see a video showing this card in motion please check out my Face Book page https://www.facebook.com/groups/MyMessyCraftroom/ Also feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations.
