Just Turn on the lights

This card, my goodness, has been in progress for months. Someone (John Watterson) platted the seed in my head after I posted my first House of cards Castle and asked when I would make a Harry Potter version. I laughed and said it would be a while. So I started in a few months ago and I decided to that it was time to get it done. Part of my problem was, that I knew I wanted to make it but I wasn’t sure for who. So I decided to make it for me. This quote has always resonated something in me, from the first time I heard it. I thought I would pull out all the stops, and make a card that I can enjoy for myself. So I did.

While making the card I didn’t take photos of every detail, I did a bunch of fussy cutting dies to make the different pieces. I did use mostly Karen Burnistons diesets. I don’t want to take a month to make this post so I will give the card base and Castle details but I may miss a few things. If I am missing something that you want to know please message me and I will reply.

Flying Dragon Castle Card

Soooo I know I’ve posted quite a few castle cards, but this one was a special request that I just couldn’t say no to. So as to not be too repetitive I tried something a little different. I tried my hand at creating a castle using the Sundae Pop up die set as the mechanism. there is a video that Karen made as a tutorial which I followed but changed a little. Karen made a sandcastle card and I made a Hogwarts castle with a dragon that moves a little when the card opens and closes.

sooo if you have been following my blog you may have noticed that I have quite a few Harry Potter cards, apparently I know a lot of people who enjoy Harry Potter LOL, I do try very hard to make my cards different or to try different techniques to make each one special. My niece is a huge Harry Potter fan so I really wanted to make a special card just for her so I decided to make a bridge card.

a Howarts Wedding card

*I am so excited to be sharing this card, I never thought I would have the opportunity to make a Harry Potter wedding card, so when the opportunity came up I decided that this should be a very special card. It took a lot of planning, and a lot of tweaking, but I was determined to find a way to make this big castle fold into a card. It turned out much better than expected and I am pleased to share how I did it with you.

Whomping Willow 2.0-C4C-497

Posted on August 10, 2019August 10, 2019 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello, a little late today but here I am. Apparently yesterday was Book Lovers Day so this weeks Crazy For Challenges challenge is to get inspiration from a book. I cheated a little this week, if you are following me you may remember that I posted Whomping Good Day card back in June. When I posted that card I had a special request to make another so my challenge to myself was to make this card different than the last one. In many ways it is similar but there are still a few ways in which it is different.
