Octopus Treasure Pop Up Card

Hello crafty friends ...

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and I have a fun ocean themed Pop Up card to share today!

I wanted to have another play with Karen Burniston's new Treasure Chest, so added it to the Cupcake Pop Up, and pulled out both the Sea Animals and the Ocean Animals too.

Remember you can see all my interactive cards on my YouTube Channel HERE!

Once I had cut the Cupcake Pop Up into the patterned card stock, I backed the opening with pieces of the same patterned paper so the kraft backing card doesn't show when you look at the card from the side. It's easy enough to do and does make for a more polished looking finished card.

Once again, I have added a stamped greeting on the underside of the Treasure Chest lid, which you see when you lift it up.

NOTE:  I trimmed the side edges of the back lid piece even with the sides treasure chest base. Also, the tip of the icing part of the Cupcake Pop Up does stick out a little above the treasure chest, which is a good place to add an element if you wish. I chose to trim it off though, so it is just below the top of the closed Treasure Chest.

This is a birthday card for a special friend, and will be hand delivered so I didn't have to worry too much about bulk.
