Magnolia-licious Monthly Challenge

This month the DT of the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog have a really fun challenge for you. We're asking you to make a Free Standing Pop-Up card. You will find all the directions to make this fun card at the link above. The only catch is that it must be summer themed!

So we're hoping that you'll jump right in and upload your own to the site so we all can oooooo and aaaaaaaaw!

Here is my pop up card for the challenge...

The box was very easy to put together. Here is a closer look at Tilda and her Kitty...



From the side it looks like two little boxes with your tag between.



Here is a view of it flattened down so that you can mail it. Remember if you're using flowers that are not flat you will need a bubble wrap mailer or you can make a thicker envelope!




Thank you so very much for dropping in to see my challenge card today.
