I loved making this fab fun card. It’s so bright and full of interest. I made the card base using inspiration from Sam Calcott’s Made To Surprise Pop up Bouquet Die set but I did not use the dies as I don’t have have them. By making the mechanism without dies it allows me to change the dimensions of the mechanism to suit the size and shape of card I’m making. I did use the ‘Made to Surprise’ super sliders collection shoes and handbags and make up die and stamp sets to stamp and cut out the elements on this card. The shoes bags and background were coloured using distress oxide inks to watercolour the images and added ‘glossy accents’ to complete the look. Unlike Sam, I mounted the pop up mechanism on the front of my card as it makes for maximum impact when the envelope is opened and it also leaves more room for a verse and sentiment inside the card.
