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

  1. 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?
