CCREw0512HF- Blessing My Life Pop-Up

CCREW0512HF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM - Holiday focus 

This challenge is for the girls! Make a free standing pop-up card for a special female in your life (your mom, your sister, an aunt, or a best friend)! 

The tutorial is here: Splitcoaststampers - Free Standing Pop-Up Card Tutorial by Mary JoAlbright .  Don’t forget- a great project to use the Simply Scored™ board and the new Simply Scored™ diagonal insert!

I used the tutorial to create the pop-up card- heat embossed the flowers on Whisper White. 

Stamp the En Francais background stamp using Basic Gray (stamp off first) and color the flowers using Stampin’ Write markers- Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait. 

Emboss the outside panel with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder (before assembling the card).  

Add the ribbon bow, rolled flower and sentiment to finish off the card.
