Totally Epic Birthday card

Posted on May 4, 2024May 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

So sort of a funny story behind this one. I needed a birthday card for my nephew. And I was going to make him a cupcake card. Who doesn’t love cupcakes. My husband asked me what kind of card I was making and how old was our nephew going to be. And he was like “you are not making our teenage nephew a cupcake card, your going to call you sister and find out what he is into and your going to make him a cool card”. So I did and she filled me in on a video game that I have never heard of before. Google saved me again. If you read the green letters, it spells the name of the video game.

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.

So bummed, I’ve been too busy to play in my craft room ☹️. So I thought I’d scroll through my photos to see if I had a card that I hadn’t posted yet, and I came across these photos. I actually edited and created the slides below last spring and forgot to make a post 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope as I scroll through I will remember the steps that I took. Here goes.….

Hello Sweet Baby

Posted on April 23, 2024April 23, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I got to have some fun playing Craft Roulette. I’ve been needing to make a baby card and the parameters for this week gave me the perfect opportunity.

This is how I met the parameters, babies are good tidings, I used a paper pack called “Best Summer Ever” by Echo Park, I used a triple pop up mechanism, and I tied 2 bows on the front of the card and one on the bear on the inside.

This week I’ve got another Craft Roulette inspired card, I thought these parameters would make a good birthday card for my dad.

This is how I met the parameters. Trifold is three folds, I have one on each side and one on the bottom. Sleigh Ride colours, trees and snow can be seen on a sleigh ride. I googled jokes for older men and found this one. And the balloon on the front is way bigger than the rest so it is out of proportion.

Birthday, Tiny Trees

Joy Fold Pop Up Tree card.

Posted on April 2, 2024April 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

I was in need of a masculine birthday card when I sat down to make this Craft Roulette card. I was stumped for a day because I also wanted to make a pop up card but I wasn’t sure how to work that in with parameters. I actually hadn’t figured it until after I started. Here are this weeks parameters…

The way the card is folded is a Joy Fold card, I actually made a slimline Joyfold, I think the colours used could be seen on a buggy ride, the colours of the sky, grass, trees and the colours of buildings could be seen in the striped paper. The sticks can be found in the trees and the stones are around the trees. The trim is the twine around the front and the woven ribbon on the front and inside of the flap. I had the added challenge of making it a masculine card and working in the pop up.
