I'm having so much fun making these cute pop-up cards using the Everyday Pop-up Card Cricut cartridge. I used to love pop-up books as a kid and each time I make a card it reminds me of them. There was one in particular I recall...with sisters dressed in the same outfit but in different colours. One had the top in one colour and the bottoms in another, and the sister had the opposite arrangement. I was only about 4 or 5 when we had that book and I can't remember anything else about it except those clothes they had on! Anyone else who was a kid in the early 70s remember a book like that??
Anyway, this card can be found on page 46 of the handbook. It would be perfect to give with a container 
of my homemade raspberry freezer jam!
I cut the card (which happened to be a zig-zag 
edge just like the last card!), and the phrase (with layers) for the front. I added some dsp and inked the edges. I chose the jam jar pop-up and it was much less fussy to put together than the sewing machine card I showed you a couple of weeks ago - but you still have to be gentle when you open it. I used the graphic illustration from Provo Craft again for reference, and I think I did it right. The strawberries pop-up but they don't do 'anything'...(eg. move side-to-side)...but I'm not sure if they are even supposed to! It's cute, anyway! I added 2 layers of dsp inside cut into a circle 
(like a table or placemat). I added some Glossy Accents to the strawberries (on 
front and inside) and a bit of glitter. One last thing...the layers are not sized to fit on the pop-ups but I still wanted the jam label on my jar. I used my Gypsy to size the layer and shift-layer to make them fit and added them to my jar...so cute!
Super cute card friend! I love the colors!
