This card is the September edition of my monthly series "Platform Pop Up" Cards and was the birthday card I made for our eldest daughter. The goats were coloured to mimic her two goats - Clover & Thistle. Our Grandson was staying here when I was making the card and he was so excited about those goat stamps, and that they could be coloured to look like their goats. 🥰.
The barn die is from Your Next Stamp and the size was perfect to add to the Platform Pop Up. I also added a punched cloud on the backing piece. I wasn't sure I would use that Add On, and resisted it for a long time. But I did snag it when there was a sale and I do like using it - but I especially like that I can make the Platform Pop Up without it if I choose.
Below is the back of the card and where we signed our names. I added a black Peel Off sticker for the sentiment. The little banner was die cut from white and coloured with markers before attaching to the card and I liked the pop of colour they provided.
I'm always happy with how flat these cards fold down for mailing - but we hand delivered this one.
Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
