Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card

 

Today my oldest daughter was invited to a friend's 13th birthday party which was a bowling party, so I of course had to make a bowling theme card. I decided to make a Pop-Up Box card because I thought that particular design would allow me to create a sort-of bowling alley. I think I pulled it off.

 

In this picture, look at the bowling ball, I used a piece of cardstock from the DCWV Metallic Glitter Cardstock Stack. The ball is shiny and glittery, just like a real bowling ball.

 

 

I put 13 on both sides because my daughter's friend is turning 13.

 

 

The back I kept simple and to be perfectly honest I was running out of time. I would have liked to put another bowling pin and ball back there but I just didn't have enough time.

I used these items to create my Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card:

• Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge (1st time I used it) - bowling pins and ball
• Alphalicious Cricut cartridge - "Lucky"
• Designer Calendar Cricut cartridge - 13
• CardzTV "Good Times" clear stamp set - sentiments
• DCWV Metallic Glitter Cardstock Stack - bowling ball

I am entering my Pop-Up Box card in the following challenges:

• Craftin Desert Divas - Craft it up Link it up - Anything Goes
• Decorate to Celebrate - Challenge #97 - Anything Goes
• DL ART - April Linky Challenge - Anything Goes

It was a little rushed and last minute but I got it done and I love it. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card.

Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card

This past Sunday was my Mom's birthday and I made this Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card for her. I had to get my creative thinking on to make this card.  I knew right away I wanted to have tulips because they are one of my mom's favorite flowers. I also knew I wanted to make a pop up box card because I like that they can serve double duty as a card and decoration. Believe it or not, out of all of the Cricut cartridges I have there was not one single tulip flower I liked so I had to create my own. I looked through images on Google of tulips to get the general shape. I noticed the shape was kind of like an egg so I decided I was going to cut 3 egg shapes and layer them and OMG...it worked! I then needed to find a stem and leaves I liked. I found that some blades of grass would work for that effect. Now I absolutely had to use purple because it is mine and my mom's favorite color. Lastly, it was about getting it all cut out and put together. I am so pleased with the way this card turned out and so was my mom.

I used these items to create my Tulip Happy Birthday Pop Up Box Card:

• Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - to create the tulips with the egg shape
• Create a Critter Cricut cartridge - to create the stem and leaves with the blades of grass
• white ink - to highlight the tulips
• purple ink - Happy Birthday and sentiment on back of card
• My Craft Spot - Inside & Out - Set #2 clear stamp set - for the Happy Birthday and sentiment on back of card 
• Stampin' Up! 4 rhinestones - on front of card
• Mart
• 2 shades of purple cardstock
• white and green cardstock
• 2 different pattern papers
• Martha Stewart corner punch - Deco fan

Here are some close ups of the flowers and the back of the card:

I am entering this card in the following linky parties and challenges:

• Little Scrap Pieces Linky Party
• Craftin Desert Divas - Craft-it-up Link-it-up - Favorite Color 
• Craft Your Passion Challenge #218 - 3 or more embellishments - I used 4 rhinestones
