Moving Cards: Stocking Pop-Up Christmas Card!
November 2nd, 2011
This looks like an ordinary Christmas Card, right? A cute little stocking with my favorite Jingle Bells, some Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper, and some textured cardstock…cute and fun.
Now, imagine opening it up looking for the regular ole run-of-the-mill Christmas Gretting and signature. Instead, you find this:
A Pop-up element that is sure to surprise and delight the recipient! I’m not joking when I say this is SO STINKIN’ SIMPLE!
Watch!
Yes, I Know! Easy peasy! Can you tell I was pumped about this card?
I have a really fun idea to take this type of card up even another notch and add even more fun and surprise to the inside of this card….that video will be coming to StampNation within a week. Be on the lookout!
Also, members, I’ve been doing my homework. Many of you asked for more fall projects…they are coming!
TONS of awesome things are going on at StampNation….
