Congratulations Pop-Up Card

Hello everyone! I was excited to finally be able to use my Everyday Pop-Up Cards cartridge because I bought it a long time ago and never used it.

I had to figure out how to make the lady pop-out without folding her in half. It took me a while to figure it out, but I think that this was the right way to put her on the card. I thought that the booklet was going to come with instructions, but it doesn't.

On Saturday my line sisters and I reunited and went out to dinner. Most of us graduated already, so we never get to see each other. It was a night full of surprises! One of my sisters got engaged a few hours before dinner and one of them found out that she was pregnant 4 days ago. I felt very lucky to be able to be one of the first ones to hear the news. I created this card for my sorority sister who is pregnant. I used our sorority colors (pink & purple), since she doesn't know if it's going to be a boy or girl yet.

This is the front. I used pop dots for the sentiment.

The Inside

 Another view of the inside.

This is how it looks when it's closed.

Mini Tutorial

 Once I glued the lady on the shadow, I added tacky tape (red tape) on the flaps that are folded.

I also cut out pieces of the cardstock that I used and glued it on the flaps because I wanted it to blend in with the card.

I then removed the backing to the red tape and taped it down.
