February 2012 Blog Hop

February 2012 Blog Hop by L. Bassen
Hi all! Here for the February Blog Hop.  The challenge was to make an interactive card.  I embarked on a pop up card that I saw on Martha Stewart’s website.
and here’s what it looks like on the inside:
I’m not gonna lie.  This card was hard to make.  If you like having your hair, don’t attempt it, ’cause I pulled half of mine out last night!  I used some really old Martha Stewart papers that I’ve had for ages.  You really need thin paper to do this.  It folds much easier.  Can’t wait to see all the other fun interactive cards that everyone made!  Thanks for stopping by!
