Rectangle Accordion Daisy card

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

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.….

Joy Fold Pop Up Tree card.

Posted on 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.

Princess for a Day

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

I had so much fun making this card. And I love how my little circle flowers turned out. This card was inspired by Craft Roulette and I know that I never would have come up with this card otherwise. Even before I watched the episode I told myself I was going to either use a mechanism I haven’t used in a while or I would use a set that I haven’t used before. With this card I actually did both. Here are the parameters

Now I think I was pretty clever with how I used an envelope, I actually cut one in half and made it a gift card holder under the bottom flap. I think the bright colours would be perfect for a party. I have 2 crowns, one on the “P” on the front of the card, and one on the princess that is inside the card. The 3 strips of paper were used to makes the verticle belly ban. Green cardstock, green patterned paper, and flower the paper. So for my personal challenge I used the Slim Flaps and Frames and the Mini Pops for the mechanisms I haven’t used in a while, and the Word set 5- Royalty for the die set I’ve never used before.

Big Ears, Little Ears, and Chocolate Ears- March Design Team Challenge

Posted on by mymessycraftroom5

“Bunny Ears“ that is the challenge that Karen Burniston gave the design team for this months design team challenge, and what a fun challenge. I’m such a goofy card maker because I never really have a full plan when I sit down to make my card. For this card I knew I was going to have the big bunny on the front, and I knew I wanted to use a mechanism that I haven’t used in a while so I chose the WaterFall Card. Next I chose the pretty patterned paper that was part of a long retired Stampin Up pack then the matching cardstock. Everything else fell into place as I went along, and this is what I came up up with.

**** and for those of you who like when I explain and fix my mistakes I have quite a few on this one lol.
