This week we went with some paper engineering for our challenge. The Free Standing Pop-Up card. I made one at my Stampin' Up club last week and thought they were the perfect card for a bit of WOW to the recipient that receives it, plus lots of room for embellishment. You can find a great tutorial for making one yourself here at SplitCoastStampers.
I used some Stampin' Up cardstock for my base and then went with some patterned paper from the DCWV "Crafty Stack". I thought the flowered paper would be fun for the tea pot and cups. These are stamps and dies from PaperTreyInk. I just love them - a great couple of sets, coordinating stamps, sentiments and dies. I borrowed these from my friend Tracy, and will surely be making lots more cards with them before I return them to her! The little flowers are from the Stampin' Up Boho Blossoms punch, which I scrunched up to distress at bit.
Be sure to visit the other Squirrel Girls blogs to check out the Pop-Ups they've made. You can find the link to their blogs on the right side of my blog under "Squirrel Girls".
Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend - a tribute to all the brave men and women who have served our country.
