Christmas Garden Bench Pop-Up Card

Good morning friends

I had SO much fun making this card! The front features one of Suzanne Cannon's amazing calligraphy dies. These are just SO beautiful - I love them and will have to add a few more to my collection one of these days.

Inside I made it a Pop-Up card using Karen Burniston's Garden Bench Pop it Ups die. Jolly the Mouse is sporting a Santa Hat and has been busy decorating for the holidays with the string of lights from the Holiday House.

The lights were coloured with markers and I added glossy accents to the bulbs to make them shine.

To get the three different frozen ground shaped, I used the Beach Edges, Outdoor Edges and the third layer is the trees from the Outdoor Edges with the tree portions trimmed off.

Because the Garden Bench is an intricate die, I use a shim or the metal adapter plate to cut it. Jolly is attached to the back wall of the card with a 'C support' made from white card stock.
