Quite possibly you have popped over here from Mary Fish's blog. How lucky am I that I found Mary and signed up to be a Demonstrator under her. The "Pals" are such a great community. They offer camaraderie, support and tons of creative energy. I am pleased to be a guest blogger today on Mary's blog.
Normally I don't spend a lot of time on my cards but the Pop 'n Cuts Die has really fired up my creative juices. It makes me think about all of the things that we can pop-up. Do you find that you get inspiration for cards everywhere? Walking up the stairs to my home, I spotted the half-barrel that we plant flowers in every summer. As the wheels turned in my head, I thought about the possibility of a a pop-up barrel on a card. And, as they say, "the rest is history". lol

After starting this card and not liking the direction it was going, I put it away. But, it went together nicely the second time. I hope you like it! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger
Beautiful card awesome job yet again! I love the flowers in the barrel but there is so much going on with this card it takes a couple times looking at it so I don’t miss a thing. Awesome job!
Wow, I love your card and now I want to get started making some for my friends. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea. You did an outstanding job.
Wonderful.

Outstanding! I’ve just gotten the pop n cuts dies etc. and am inspired to create something like this. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, wow, wow! Finally an idea for this dress form plate! I’m not nearly as creative as I would like to be so I have a few select sites I visit. I just added yours to one of my favorite sites! Hope you don’t mind if I draw some ideas from this card. I love 3-D projects! My die cuts and punches are my favorite tools to use! TFS and I look forward to enjoying more of your creations! Vicki
Oh.My.Gosh! This is over the top gorgeous. It’s better than getting natural flowers–it will keep longer! I love this design, Ginger!
