Christmas Critters

Posted on November 5, 2023November 5, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Hello crafty friends, I have a cute Christmas card today and it was made while playing Craft Roulette . This weeks parameters are ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I’m thinking a little outside the box on this one, instead of making a card that holds a “gift card” I put a card on a gift, look close the owl is holding it. For coffee shop colours I chose red and white as they are the Tim Hortons colours, the Browns are for the different shades of coffee and well, the blue is for the sky that can be seen out the windows. For the “Go Wild” I decided to use animals that could be found in the wild. I decided to add the numbers on the mittens as the card will be for a little girl who is just learning her numbers.

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.

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.

Guess Who Loves You- C4C548

Posted on August 14, 2020August 15, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Helllo, and happy weekend. Sorry I have been MIA, but I am here this week with a card for this weeks Crazy4Challenges blog challenge. This weeks challenge is a design challenge so I thought it was a good one to jump back in on. I have been completely strapped for time so I decided to give myself another challenge, and that was to ONLY use products that I already have out from other projects. So everything I used are items that I already had either on my work table or things that weren’t quite put away yet, with the exception of the little stamps for the greeting on the front. (I don’t call it My Messy Craftroom for nothing 😂)

Lol if you look close you can see the owls eyes in the blue basket on the right side 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here is the sketch for this weeks challenge

And here is my card

“Forest Friends, Happy Birthday”

Posted on September 12, 2018September 10, 2018 by mymessycraftroom5

This card was an experiment. When I originally saw the video for Karen Burnistons Cascading Tag card {see card “Back to the Beach” from Aug 17,18} my brain started churning if she could do that with the Adirondack chair die, what could I do with the Garden Bench die {see card “Friends” from Aug 30, 18}, I assumed that in theory that it should work, long story short, it didn’t, well not as well as the Adirondack chair turning into a cascading tag card but I did come up with this.

These cards make me laugh, who doesn’t love a party animal. As you can see one card uses forest animals and the other uses farm animals both are adorable 🙂
