Cuttlebug Spot - Pop-up Cards

It's the final week of our 'card fold' challenges over at the Cuttlebug Spot, and this week we're showcasing:

'Pop-up Cards'

This is my first ever pop-up card...so be gentle with me! As I wanted the focus to be on the inside of the card, I kept the outside really simple, using my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystals' and 'Snowflakes' folders for the embossing, and 'Ice Crystal' die to cut the snowflake:


I continued with the snowflake theme inside, with more embossing, and snowflakes cut using Marianne Creatables and Cuttlebug dies. The images I've used are from three clear stamp sets by Penny Black: 'Christmas Critters'; 'Jolly Friends'; and 'Holly-Jolly'. The sentiment stamp is by Paper Make-up.


Here's a close-up of the pop-up bit:


I'm also entering this card into a few other challenges:

    What a brilliant pop up card you are very clever. The embossing of the white card has worked really well for Hazel's challenge too. :)

    I love monochromatic cards so the outside of your card is wonderful. And when you open the cute little scene pops out at you. It's just adorable! Great card, Helen.
