I thought I'd show you this Pop Up Card that I made for my lovely blogging buddy Elaine in Australia... It's perfect because it folds flat... so good for posting!!
I wanted to make it like opening a big bouquet of flowers... hope I didn't go over the top!! I've done a couple of other Pop Up cards but really wasn't happy with the actual pop up bits... there is quite an art to arranging them!!! I think it's more tricky than making the actual box!
The Flowers and Butterflies are all from Raspberry Road Designs Kits... I've used several kits and I changed the colour of some of them digitally as I wanted a lilac theme. The paper is Prima. Hope you like!
Last weekend I spent the whole weekend making some Christmas Card Kits... then found that they weren't flat enough to fit through the postal slot!!! Grrr.... they would all need Large Stamps... so yesterday I tried to come up with a new design... not tried it through the 'slot' yet... I'm scared it won't fit!! Lol - I have my own little Post Office... scales, slot, measuring gauge!! means I can work out the postage from home! :-))
Off to get a cup of tea now and get ready for Downton!! can't wait!!
Hope you all have a lovely evening!
Love and Hugs

Lucky you to having Downton, over here it'll begin next month, can't wait!
The pop up card is fabulous, very clever design as it's folding flat, such a lovely surprise to get it.
The hydrangeas have bloomed for this year, they are such a joy with splendid flowers.
Enjoy the evening sweetie.

This is brilliant Sue, I love your pretty papers and gorgeous flowers and leaves. I agree with you - it is more difficult to arrange the pop up bits than making the actual box, yours look fabulous.
I hope you enjoyed Downton.

A real beauty Sue, you certainly have arranged those flowers perfectly this time. Think this will go down well in Aus. Bad luck with the fatty Christmas ones, what a bummer! Today is another vet day for me, this time in Ab so Merlot's future treatment will be planned. The little one eyed scamp caught a bird yesterday so I think his recovery is going well unaided! Jx
so beautiful sue.your flowers are so stunning and i love the fabulous pop up design ;D

Wonderful pop-up card Sue love the colours of the box and flowers it must have taken ages to cut the flowers out, they are beautifully arranged and the butterflies positioned perfectly. Enjoyed Downton on Sunday looking forward to this weeks episode.
Hope you are keeping well and that mum is ok. Hugs Meg
