HMFMC 168 - POP IT UP

Lori has set us the challenge to Pop It Up over at the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge and I decided to take the title very literally and make a very simple pop up card for my Father in Law

I used this cute Gruffies image and a few die cuts to make the card



and made a simple sleeve to slot over the outside of the card instead of an envelope


Sincere apologies for the awful photography. Yesterday was too sunny for a decent piccy and today it's too dull!? I really must dig out the instructions for my camera and see what I'm doing wrong...

Have a great day everybody. I'm off to start colouring for next week's challenge ;oD

    Glorious confection of a project and such an adorable image too, Lauren.

    I always find myself taking one photo with flash and one without - to see which one looks best. Perhaps a light box, where you can control the background colour according to light conditions?

    This is a fabulous card Lauren, you always have such brilliant ideas. Your design is perfect for this Gruffies image and I love the little sleeve instead of an envelope.

    Lauren, such a cute scene you created. Love that stamp and you colored up the Gruffies beautifully. Plaid is so pretty with your sleeve. Thanks for joining us for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. Nicely done.
