This is a bad idea.
The popular gambits gain tempo and open lines for attack. This gains tempo and sets up a big center, but your pieces are rather blocked in. Also, black will have no problem fighting back in the center with an array of pawn thrusts.
It is a very good idea to keep experimenting, though. This will help you to understand openings a lot better.
