"The Impossible Card"

I decided to make a special birthday card for a child at church.  This card 5 X 7 lays flat and pops up when taken out of the envelope and can stand on a shelf to enjoy for a long time.  

I got the idea from pinterest where I linked to Maymay Made It blog with instructions. 

I used the Stamp of the Month - "Card Captions" for the "Happy Birthday" and on the back "Congrats"  will get that photo posted also.  I also used the "Something Fierce" paper and compliments.  The workshops; scrapbooking and cardmaking also look great!! It's been a "fierce" week at work so I didn't have time to finish this as I planned.  I will add a second take and include photos of the cuts.  This is a fun card. and can be made any size, vertical or horizontal and works great with our double sided paper.  This card base was made with the willow paper cut at 5 X 7.  I cut the pop-up scallop using Fancy tags thin cuts and only cut the scallop portion, positioning the tag part so it didn't cut. (demo photo later)  I also used the scallop border from the "Decorative Borders" thin cuts for the "bridge" portion. One heart I had laying around was the "Stitched Hearts" thin cuts.
