Remember This

Hello there friends!!  I hope you are having a magnificent Fourth of July for friends in America and a happy Sunday for friends elsewhere.   I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to pop in and say that and I have a small project to share.  This is a pop up card – and was it ever easy!!  I’ve never made one before but it was issued as a challenge on the Magnolia-licious DT, so I was certainly game to give it a try.    For my card I chose #392 Tilda with Peony from the recently released Wedding Collection from Magnolia-licious. Remember the palette I made to hold my distress inks?  It’s working like a charm and I reach for them more often than I did – I colored this Tilda using those. 

For the border on the upright part of the card I used Spellbinders In Spades Borderabilities Petite and actually used the throwaway part that you have after cutting the border.  This gave me that nice embossed sawtooth border!  I used the same thing to go around the Mega Ovals LG, I simply cut as close as I could to the edge without destroying the border.  This made it flexible so that I could curve the border to fit the oval.  After tying a bow, I added a Spellbinders Tag 5 round tag and used a rub on sentiment that says "remember this".  This kind of card will fold flat to fit into an envelope.  I’ll simply flatten the bow to send it on it’s way.

If you are interested in the tutorial to make the pop up card, you can find it HERE.  Better yet, make one and enter it in the challenge this month at Magnolia-licious.  There are prizes to be won and all the details can be found on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. 

Thanks so peeking in!!  I’ll be back soon!
