hugs – My Messy Craft Room

I had so much fun playing Craft Roulette this week, especially since Karen Burniston was the guest. I don’t typically play when the episode is live but this week I at least got to start my card while the show was live, I worked on it a bit Saturday but didn’t get the chance to finish until Sunday. Here is my card along with this weeks parameters.

As always I also try to add my own challenges which are to 1- make it interactive/pop up, 2-use a dieset I haven’t used before, and 3- to use a die set I haven’t used in a while. This is how I met all of the parameters…

The Flowers Pivot Panels is the die set I have never used before, Wordset 14- Hugs is the dieset I haven’t used in a while. I used a small gift card-sized envelope ( I bought from Amazon) to make the “Faux Envelope”, I used Strawberry colours, I have yellow strings on the front and the inside, and I have several Flowers overlapping on the front.

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’ve been thinking about pulling out the Oval Frames Pop-up dieset but was trying to think of a creative way to use it. Then I sat down to watch Friday’s episode of Craft Roulette and it came to me. These are this weeks parameters ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The 2 folds are the gate folds, I decided to make a wooden slat planter and fill it with brightly coloured flowers. The 2 girl gnomes both have a smiley face, and the old product I used was old string and an old pink metallic elastic thread to tie the bow on the front.
