Totally Epic Birthday card

Posted on May 4, 2024May 4, 2024 by mymessycraftroom5

So sort of a funny story behind this one. I needed a birthday card for my nephew. And I was going to make him a cupcake card. Who doesn’t love cupcakes. My husband asked me what kind of card I was making and how old was our nephew going to be. And he was like “you are not making our teenage nephew a cupcake card, your going to call you sister and find out what he is into and your going to make him a cool card”. So I did and she filled me in on a video game that I have never heard of before. Google saved me again. If you read the green letters, it spells the name of the video game.

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.

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.

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.

Champagne Birthday

Posted on March 14, 2023March 13, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

When I saw this paper I knew if I teamed it up with this die-set it would make a fun masculine birthday card, and I think I was right. I needed a birthday card for my son who was turning 24 on the 24th that’s what makes it a champagne 🥂 birthday (in case you were wondering what a champagne birthday is 🥂 🎂)

For anyone who typically follows me you may notice that I will be making a few changes. I am trying to stream line my blogging a bit as I am finding it quite time-consuming. I have decided that since the majority of my cards, I use die sets from Karen Burnkston. Karen makes amazing videos, so if she has a video that explains the assembly of her mechanism or other dies I will link it. I will still give dimensions and helpful hints, and will definitely still explain any changes I make or other important info. The links I share are to her product page for that item, scroll down the page and she has video directions. Because of these changes I will add the links as I work my way through the post instead of at the end. So there in no mix up on what dies I used for each steps.

….and you act like one 2

Posted on June 22, 2022June 24, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

I am soooo exciting to share this card, I had so much fun making it. It all started with this photo, and the monkey. The monkey had to be blue and yellow and it was for my beautiful grand daughters 2nd birthday, and the rest of it just fell into place as I was making it. It’s funny how that happens some times. I just found the perfect patterned paper and I just happened to have perfectly matching cardstock (from 2 different companies). I bought the little mirrors a while ago and finally had a reason to use them, and posing Jinx the Monkey in all the funny poses actually made me laugh.

As you read the words on each page think of the “Happy Birthday” song. I don’t know if it’s just me but I remember this swap in lyrics from when I was a child

This is why the monkey had to be blue and yellow, it belong to my son when he was three , and now it’s a favourite stuffed friend for this little cutie.
