Here’s another example of the pop-up layout inspired by Jennifer McGuire . . .

It’ll be fun to try out various die cuts for the pop up panel.  I think my next design will include a single stem rose . . . and maybe some fruits or veggies for the one after that?

A pop-up layout inspired by Jennifer McGuire . . .

A simple, four-sided rectangular cube props up the leafy arrangement on the left, yet it folds flat for mailing.  It also stands up sturdily for display. 

The die set used to cut out the leafy array is unique in that it leaves no white edges!  The coloring is done with stencils and each image is slightly larger than the one piece die used to cut them out.  So that eliminates the white edging.  

I wish all dies that coordinate with stenciled/stamped images were made that way . . .

 Here’s another shadow box card . . . LOVE making these things!

My friend Kathy has just had shoulder surgery and as a fellow stamper, I thought she would enjoy looking at some pretty florals through this artsy shadow box frame . . . I love this style and am grateful to Concord & 9^th for making it so easy to put together.

Happy Anniversary

On wedding anniversary cards, I always like to use two design elements.  Hence the two flowers . . .

I used my favorite Foamiran for these because three seconds with the heat gun makes the petals curve up.  They stay that way permanently – even after a coast to coast ride through the post office machines.  Amazing!

This one started out as a shadow box layout . . .

 . . . but the frame was too narrow to keep the folded side strips that pop up the fame from showing.  I could have just used pop dots to do the job, but I liked the look of this flush mounting, so I went with that.

Still having fun with shadow box cards . . .

My friend John is a flower grower and seller, so I always enjoy making floral cards for him.  These stand up so nicely on display, so I hope he takes advantage of that . . .
