Fancy Folds

Good morning I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It is absolutely throwing it down here! Yesterday was beautiful so nice and sunny. We went for a walk and then about 5 there was a knock at the door and when Dave opened it someone had left a beautiful little baby boy on our doorstep! My daughter and her partner were hiding round the corner lol.  It was so nice we sat at the bottom of the garden on the decking. Dave was playing with a very old wooden pull along toy for Rowan and he was thrilled with it, he was squealing and kicking his feet - we were all in stitches!

Anyway, today is a new challenge at Hobbycutz and this week I have chosen the theme which is "Fancy Folds."  Here is my contribution:


I have made a pop up box card.  Well to tell the truth I actually made the box ages ago and it was lying on my worktop waiting to be used - so long ago that some of the papers had faded so I had to tear them off and put fresh ones on!  I used digital papers from The Sweet Shoppe called Here In This Moment and some card stock from The Papermill.  The sentiment is Penny Black and I used the resist method of embossing with some Scattered Straw DI and then cut it out with SB Labels 13.  The flowers are SB and also a punch, ivy a Marianne die and butterfly is MB.  The fence is a lovely laser cut from Hobbycutz there are loads of different ones have a look at the shop here.


I think I should have decorated this front panel, will have to do something with it!


Please head over to the challenge to see what the rest of the DT have done and for all the details on the challenge!

Thank you so much for looking today and any comments you leave, take care xx

    Ooh this is gorgeous Susan… what pretty papers and I love your fab pop ups!! I have made a couple of these and I find the hardest thing are the actual pop ups… think they are quite tricky deciding what to put, and if you put too many they can look messy, but you have done a fab job here… they look just perfect!! :-)
    Ah yes, we had lovely sunny day here yesterday, can't believe the difference today and I'm blaming Bertha!! Lol hope she clears off soon!
    Hope you're having a good weekend!
    Hugs Sue xx
