Funny Cricut Pop Up Card

Well I have been playing around making Pop Up Cards and books. They are all still works in progress but I promise I will share them with you when they get done. I took a break from those to make this creation. I thought it was just such a funny thought that I just had to make it. That way I could share it with all of you. A lot of people want to see all the entries posted from the 5th Anniversary Challenge so that's where this idea came from. I think it turned out cute. What do you guys think? This project was just for fun.





Do you think this looks like Jinger? I hope so. That's who it is suppose to be!Notice the Mickey ears hat . Jinger just came back from a Disney vacation, so I thought the hat was a great gift idea for Cricut. I made Jinger out of a cut I altered from the Cricut Cartridge Country Life.





I used a piece of plastic above the door to resemble glass and put the "wall paper" the front of the card behind it. I used Glossy Accents for Cricuts eyes. They are hard to see.



I tried hard to add enough miniature scrapbook pages. They did receive over 500 entries. Wow!
I hope you all enjoyed this card. Now I can get back to my regular projects. Also please check back Monday. I will have a small giveaway that day. If I get done in time I may post it Sunday. I plan to have another project done to share too.

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!


Here are a few gifts from two of my boys. This card was made my almost 9 year old. So Sweet. This will go into my keepsake box.



This creation is from my 5 year old. He didn't give it to me today. He gave it to me months ago but I wanted to share something he has made for me too. Can you guess what it is? It's a tie for me to wear to church. lol I adore it. While I don't wear it to church. I have it displayed in a cabinet I use everyday with other very special gifts from my boys.
It always makes me smile :)
