teacup – My Messy Craft Room

So I’ve been trying to get this post done but I’ve been having some technical difficulties but here I am with this past weeks Craft Roulette challenge. When I decided what I was going to do I was pretty excited. I was looking for a reason to use the new Tea and Coffee pop up set with the Coffee Cup Pop up mechanism and this was it. Here are this weeks parameters.

How I met the parameters…. I have a heart on the “Happy Mothers Day” on the front, and on the inside beside “Love you”. I was stuck on vintage colours so I went through my paper stash to see if something jumped out at me and this paper did for several reasons. It has a vintage vibe with the pattern, but it also has a lace pattern right on it which takes care of the “lace on the base”. AND ITS ORANGE AND PURPLE, if you play Craft Roulette you will get the reference. The flowers are for the “plant” element.

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.

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.
