Who doesn't like biscuits and gravy? Not the best healthy breakfast option, but sometimes you have to treat yourself. I've been feeling a little sassy in the sentiments department lately so I included this sentiment in the AUGUST CARD KIT. If it's a little to feisty for you don't fret, there is a matching design with a more traditional sentiment you can use on the card.
I've always been a fan of pop dots for adding dimension, but while designing this card I realized that someone, (do you have one of those nobodies that live in your house?), used my last pop dots to pop up some 3d frog art. Really, if I weren't a crafter I'd make an awesome detective! Ok... so I've been seeing some pop up banners in the market lately and decided it was high time I make one myself.
Here's how you can do it too. Trim your sentiment, leaving long tails at the ends. Next to the edge of the sentiment fold the cardstock back and then forward again.
Now here is something i'm not so good at... taking one handed photos.
Now repeat the same thing on the other side of the sentiment. Trim the edges to a point with your scissors and attach to the card. I only use adhesive right next to the points I cut. That will allow it to pop up.
Of course you should use some buttons and pretty seam binding to embellish the card. And there you have it... my no pop dots solution!
Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
Super cute I like mixing it up on sayings
