Pop Up Card Box Welcome Spring!!!!

March 20, 2014

WELCOME SPRING!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, I don't think it has ever felt better to say that!  Although I don't know where the first three months of this year have gone, I am certainly looking forward to warmer, brighter days!

I have been admiring the Pop-Up Box Cards for weeks.  I finally decided to give it a try.  It was so much fun to make!!!  This card is for a very special friend for her birthday.  I used colors that I thought she would like.  I watched several tutorials on YouTube and can not take the credit for this wonderful card box, but I did decorate it the way I wanted to once it was as assembled.

 This is one of the videos I used to learn how to make the box by Wendy Cranford.  ENJOY!

Happy St. Patrick' Day to everyone!  Hope you got your green on today! 

It has been pouring rain ALL day.  Two days in a row, makes for longgggg days!!

I wanted to enter the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge and the Paper Player Challenge this week.  I had to step way out of my comfort zone to make a Clean and Simple Card.  I usually love lots of layers and details.  I think my card gives the feeling of Spring.  Let me know your thoughts?
