Christmas Stocking September Release

Posted on September 11, 2023September 11, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

So excited to share…. that Karen Burniston has a brand new release.

This new Stocking Pop up die set is sooooo much fun and extremely versatile. Well maybe not the stocking but I can see me reaching for this mechanism time and time again (wait until you see my next card)

I thought my first card should show it with the dies from the set. And here it is …….

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.

Boho Congratulations- slimline,shaker, popup card

Posted on July 13, 2023July 12, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Sometimes I get special requests, and this card was a very special request. It is a graduation card from a mother to her daughter. I asked if there were colours or a style and she asked for a Boho style and sent me a photo of her daughters dress, which was a beautiful shade of blue. I chose to go with mostly neutral colours so the blue pieces would pop. I wanted to make it extra special so I have a borderless shaker card on the inside which is also visible from the peek a boo window on the front, and I added another see through shaker on the pop up mechanism on the inside. This is what I came up with.

Rainbow Balloons Birthday

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

Well, I got the card done by the deadline but the blog post took a couple of extra days. I’ve been busy busy busy making cards for the Karen Burniston June Release but I was able to sneak in a Craft Roulette card

Here are this week’s parameters ⬇️

I took me a bit to wrap my brain about how I was going to meet the parameters but then it just clicked, and this is what I came up with.

Small Bag- the little hand bad the girl gnome is holding

Rainbow colours- throughout the card

Wheel- the greeting turns on the yellow wheel revealing 4 different messages

Shimmer- I used Wink of Stella to add glimmer to all the balloons and the girl gnomes.

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.
