Mini Slimline Hugs Pop Up Card

Hello!  Yesterday the Crafty Meraki Design Team had an Instagram Hop to celebrate their new release called Meraki Cheer. Today I'm sharing another card using one of the sets from the new release ... Love You Mom. Since I made this Mini Slimline a Pop Up card, I have a walkthrough on YouTube as well: 

This is one of those cards that has LOTS of shimmer and shine, but it's very hard to capture in photos. The main stamp (MOM) was heat embossed with a burgundy embossing powder that is mixed with gold. I went over all the flowers with a Wink of Stella pen, and the flower centres are raised and shiny from Glossy Accents. The popped up butterfly got both the shimmer AND Glossy Accents. Finally, I added the stamped rectangle to pink glittered card stock!


Inside I made a simple box pop up, and added the new Hugs With Shadow Word die to the pop up part along with a sentiment from the Here's To Mom set.


To add some interest to the background I used the Crazy Kaleidoscope stencil by Heffy Doodle (also available in the Crafty Meraki shop). 


The pretty floral spray from the Love You Mom set is one I am going to get a lot of use out of! Here I added one to the inside back and in the photo below you get a good idea of the shimmer from the Wink of Stella pen.


"Crafty Meraki is a tribe of women who are all creators but more importantly, love helping others in any way we can! 

Meraki (may-rah-kee) a verb, or adverb, a Modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (Labor of love, to do something with pleasure), is applied to tasks, usually, creative or artistic tasks, but can be applied to any task at all. Meraki means to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention.

Crafty Meraki was born out of a vision to help creators do what they love doing the most- to create!"
