Celebrate

After seeing Jennifer McGuire’s video on an easy way to do pop-up cards, I had to give it a try . . .

Her idea was to pop up the front of a card instead of an inside element of the card.  Thanks to a strip of cardstock folded into a four-sided tube behind the front panel, the card packs flat but opens up to display – the front panel pops forward and the card rests on three points of contact.  Very sturdy and very impressive!

The use of die cuts can add lots of neat dimension, but my Thursday post will show a card made with a simple stamped panel mounted in a slightly different way.  No need for die cutting . . . and it’s just as quick and easy to make as this one.
