Anyone who knows me, knows that I avoid them as much as I possibly can. It seems that no matter how carefully I measure, cut, and fold something is always off just a bit which keeps the card for working properly.
I purchased the Karen Burniston Photo Collage Pop-Up dies over a year ago and have used them only once. And not very successfully, I must say. So today I watched this You Tube video over and over and over until I was able to construct the pop-up structure and get it to work correctly. Below is the Christmas card I ended up designing.
Front of the Card
Inside of the Card
The designer paper is by the Paper Studio and the dies are from Sizzix. The Oh what fun sentiment is by Stampin' Up.
As luck would have it, I attended a Zoom card making event this afternoon hosted by Stampin' Up demonstrator Andi Fazioli and learned another interactive card. I had a lot of fun with this design as well. I chose papers from my favorite paper maker Graphic 45. The inside images are from By the Tide by Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from Hen & Chicks by Power Poppy. I used various punches and dies to create the frilly embellishment behind the 3¢ stamp.
