Wedding Wishes- June designer challenge

Posted on June 6, 2023June 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s the the first Tuesday in June so you know what that means, It’s Karen Burnistons Design Team challenge. This months challenge is to make either a “Wedding or Baby” card. I had decided to make a wedding card, but for some reason I was drawn to these colours, possibly because I just bought this paper pack at Michaels lol. So I guess with a swap of charms and greeting this could easily become a baby card, or a gender reveal 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.

Time for Tea- Thinking of you card

Posted on May 28, 2023May 28, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Are you a coffee or tea person? I’m a tea gal, in real life I would lose my mind if I found out that mice were playing in my tea cups, but I think they are super cute on paper. I used Craft Roulette parameters to make this card.

I have my flaps on the inside, they give a little extra room for writing a message. I’m not sure why but I often choose these colours when making winter scenes, it makes me think of icy cold. Children’s story had me stumped for a bit, for some reason the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice” got stuck in my head. Aren’t nursery rhymes short children’s stories? And last but not least “tiles” I have embossed tiles as the background for both the front and the inside. And of course my personal challenge of making it a pop up card.

Happy Houses

Posted on May 21, 2023May 22, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

A little late this week, but we we go. I’ve been really busy working on cards that I can”t show off yet (the Karen Burniston June sneak peek starts June 19th) so I have Craft Roulette card to share. This weeks parameters were a bit easy so I decided to add the challenge of using diesets I have, but haven’t used before, and to chose paper from my stash, not the pretty new paper I used for last weeks challenge, even though it would have been perfect for this card. lol. Craft Roulette parameters ⬇️

I made a shorter slim line (than I typically make), I think the colours I used could be seen at a tea part, including black for tea, I used the “word” Hello, I have hand drawn lines throughout but they are more noticeable on the front label, I added the little white lines on the pattern paper and borders as well.

Hey crafty friends, I was pretty busy this weekend but I still wanted to get a Craft Roulette card done. So when I want to get a card done quick I pull out a paper pack. This time I used a Carta Bella kit that came with stickers and double sided paper.

This weeks parameters

And here is my card, I have one tag on the front and 2 on the inside, the colours used could be found in a rose garden with the sky in the background, I have May flowers, and I used masking to make the clouds on the inside.

Backyard Buddies Birthday Card

Posted on May 7, 2023May 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

There is a bit of a benefit when some of your family doesn’t follow your blog or your social media ( or anything on the internet ), you can post their birthday card before their birthday 😜 sshhhhh

This weeks Craft Roulette Parameters weren’t too difficult, so I decided to give myself a couple extra challenges, 1 was to make a pop-up card that works with the rest of the parameters, and 2 was to make it masculine. CR parameters ⬇️

One of the challenges for me was to find patterned paper that was the colour of “Flowering Fields” but could still be used on a masculine card. The colours on the stripes look like they were painted on.
