Pop Up Mother's Day Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog!

I'm VERY late posting today, but it's still Friday here so it still counts. Ha!  It was another busy day here - it feels like the last three weeks have just been a whirlwind. Should be a busy weekend as well, with Mother's Day, our granddaughter AND our daughter's birthdays. Next week has a few busy days but also one or two with nothing on the calendar so hopefully I can catch my breath. I haven't been able to get into my craft room in over a week and I'm getting cranky. 

Today's card is a 6x6" square card - not a common card size for me, only because they cost so much to mail. But this will be hand delivered so I was free to load it up. I was able to use up several things with this card as well - the patterned paper (only 1 full sheet left in the package and not many scraps!), the nice big sticker (which I was saving and finally got to use it) and some more fussy cut images from a sheet of Stamperia paper. The Love You is a die by Karen Burniston.

Inside I used more dies by Karen Burniston - the Happy Mother's Day with the shadow, the XOXO and of course the Twist Flower Pop Up for the mechanism. Lots of chipboard elements too, and on the centre ones I peeled off a few layers so there wasn't quite so much bulk.

Such cute ephemera - it made me happy to use so much of it on the card. Oh, and I used an alcohol marker to create the grass on the white stitched circle for the little girl to sort of ground her.
