Stampin Chic....Technique Challenge

Morning Folks....it's Friday and lots to share today and beware this post is mega pic heavy......first my card for this week's challenge over at
and we have a technique challenge for you this week
POP-UP

THE OUTSIDE
THE INSIDE
A CLOSE UP
A SIDE VIEW
Papers: WeR Memory Keepers....Hoop-la
Flowers: CCSR Doodles Stamp Set
Quickutz Flower Die
Grass and Tree..hand drawn and cut out
Sentiment cut from Sentiment Paper
from CCSR "The Big One"
Apolgies for my squinty tree...but just pretend that the wind has been blowing from the right
I must admit I thought this was going to be a bit of a challenge....I have made pop-up cards before but quite some time ago....so the thought of searching out suitable instructions and then deciding what to do....well let's say I was less than enthusiastic.....but an angel in disguise came to my rescue.....yes my lovely bloggy bud....the one and only Dawny P   I just happened to be chatting to her on the phone today....she was still not able to access her blog or anyone else's for that matter and is having serious withdrawals...but hopefully will be back in business very soon......and I mentioned I was off to make a pop-up card.....well did Dawn not do a fabulous pop-up tutorial  on her blog a short while ago.....off I went to find it and lo and behold just perfect....so thanks for that matey and if you want to have a go......you will find it HERE...easy to follow  instructions with great pics.....even dopey here found them easy peasy.... and what I thought was going to be a pain in the neck turned out to be a bit of a doddle.  What would we do without our fabulous bloggy buds.....will be back soon with the next post of the day and a little surprise......
Hugs Kath xxxxxx
P.S.  Sorry folks....the Here link to Dawn's fab tutorial didn't seem to be working....but I have waved my magic wand and sprinkled it with lots of fairy dust and hopefully it now works.

  7. This is an impressive stair step cut!

    Pop up card designs, even the most complicated, all start with just a couple basic mechanisms.

    Come on over for more than 20 tutorials, simple to complex. (Tutorial index on right hand column of page).
