Pop-Up Card!

My card clubs had so much fun creating this Pop-Up Card! On this card I stepped out of my comfort zone of pinks, purples and yellows (I am prone to do "girly" projects) and used colors that could be versitale.

What's fun about this card is that it will fold up flat so you can send it in an envelope!

*Check back tomorrow if you would like to see a tutorial on how to make this Pop-Up Card!

I loved the idea of making picture frames out of the Designer Series Paper. Did I mention how much I love the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper?!!

I only adhered the frames on three sides so you would be able to slide your picture underneath.

Paper: Greenhouse Gala DSP, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz
Extras: Small Oval Punch, Silver, Pewter & Antique Brass Brads

As much as I would love to take the credit for this idea, I can't! I got this idea from another demonstrator, I am so sorry, I didn't write her name down. Thank you for the cute idea!
