Free Standing Pop Up Card for Not2Shabby!

Hello there, crafty friends! Today I want to share with you another Design Team project for Not2Shabby. I made a free standing pop up card for my mom, for Valentine's Day.

Isn't it cute? I found the tutorial for the card on Splitcoaststampers but I modified the dimensions to fit the sweet image. 

The image stamp is another cutie by C.C. Designs, called Rose. I colored her with my Copic markers and added Stickles to the heart on her headband and dress.

The oval die cuts are by Spellbinders and I rimmed the outside oval with small rhinestones.

You can see here how it stands up on it's own.

Here, you can see how it folds up for easy mailing.

 This card was very easy to put together and I really love the way it turned out. I hope you like it too!

Valentine's Day Cards using Dies

Hi everybody! Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I thought I'd get started on my V-Day projects a little earlier than last year. And to get me in the mood, I started off by making some cards. This year it's all about using what you have rather going out and buying a ton of new things. If you're anything like me, you have a ton of craft supplies that are still untouched, probably still in the package, right? So I vowed to find new and creative uses for all my old stuff and how to incorporate them in my projects. The cards I created were made using dies that aren't Valentine's day related and I think they turned out super cute!

I had a lot of fun making these cards.Hopefully I've inspired you to take out your old dies and find new ways to use them in your projects. Let me know what you think!
