Welcome to another Crafty Collaborators blog hop. I am part of an amazing group of demonstrators from all around the world. Each month we will be showcasing some of the wonderful products which can found in our suite of catalogues. Today’s Monthly hop is called Share it Sunday, where we will be sharing a recent project. I have been away for the last few days so decided to share a pop up birthday card I made last year on our Summer Holiday one day retreat.

Rest & Relax pop up Birthday card

Given the weather has been so lovely recently I thought it would be fun to have a look back at this card

The front of the card I decorated to look like a pineapple cocktail, complete with a little paper umbrella that makes it look so tropical. Makes me think of drinking sundowner pina coladas on holiday.

Rest & Relax pop up Birthday card – Inside

For the inside I used the all dressed up dies to create the pop up beach bag inside the card. It creates a lovely wow when you open up the card. Plus you could easily pop a gift card inside for an extra surprise|!
