Cactus Hugs - Pivot Pop Up Card - Strawberry Jude Stamps

 Cactus Hugs

I am in love with this card! 

I used Lawn Fawn's Pivot Pop Up die and Stand Tall stamp set from Strawberry Jude Stamps

I started by stamping my cactus and coloring them with copic markers.

They were cut out by my Scan-n-Cut.

I had some cactus pattern paper and wash that I wanted to use to decorate the card with. 

I like when the inside is layered with patterned paper while using this die, 

I think it looks bare without it.

I attached my cactus to the inside panel and stamped the little hugs? sentiment.

For the front I added a plain white panel. 

I used a single stripe of the washi tape and then added a few cactus.

I kept the front super simple since the inside is the real show.

I attached the pivot mechanism and then added my decorated panel.

It is easiest to decorate the panel before you attach it to the card.

Also, try to use thin paper for these so there isn't a lot of bulk inside your card.

I added some green enamel dots to the front of the card.

Ta-Da!
