Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Hi all! Even though we're in the middle of a major house remodeling project and I have tons of things I should be doing, I couldn't let World Cardmaking Day go by without spending a little time in my studio. There are times when you just have to let it all go and have some creative fun!

This Pop it Ups card was inspired by a little Halloween ornament I saw at Michaels the other day. My first thought was, 'that would make a cool card!' I cut the card panels from transparency film using Karen Burniston's Oval Accordion die. The frames were cut from black cardstock using Karen's Flourish Frame Edges die and covered with black microfine glitter. I wish it showed up better - it's so pretty!

I cut more panels from off-white cardstock using the same die and trimmed out the oval section. After stamping the little scenes I adhered the ovals to the card panels. The stamps are from Artistic Outpost and My Mind's Eye. Unfortunately, I don't think the AO stamps are available any longer. :( The little spiderweb is from a set by Oxford Impressions.

I decided not to decorate the front and just let the frame show through. I love how it looks from both sides!
