Everyday Pop-up Cartridge Cards 3

Here's another pop-up card I made for a dog loving friend for her b-day. I ended up using the gypsy to make the second dog for the inside, then flipped and glued one on the other side. I'm not quite sure why I had to make it to fit and why there wasn't already layers on the cartridge for the inside pop-up part, but I was able to make one. I love this card and as usual, used the DCWV paper for the patterned part on the front.

Ok, so another card made with the ever intriguing cartridge. I keep thinking I have to figure these cuts out, how hard can they be??? Well, several folds, rips, and tear's later, I think I've got these things down pat. I used the gypsy to put the words inside the label to save on paper and layers. I always think they need something more and I do love the added piece of ribbon inside to look as if it were really sewing something. I originally wanted to say "you're SEW old!", but I changed my mine there. I mean she is 70, but I didn't want to offend!!! Just in case you're really looking closely, yes her name is Fonz. Her real name is Lavonne and somehow about 12 years ago, my hubby decided to nickname her Fonzy, which then got shortened to Fonz. Anyway, she's a hard working farm gal, so her grand kids think her nickname is hilarious!

I'm super glad I found the cheat sheet on the circle blog for the pop-up cartridge, but before I did, I made a couple of cards. I cut slits in the card to hide the tabs instead of glueing or taping them like you can do. I think the extra work with the exacto knife paid off with a seamless looking appearance. I did have to add a solid piece of cardstock on the back to cover the tabs, but it was the perfect place to then add my stamp (this card handmade by ME!). I just love this cartridge and I can see using it a ton in the future. Sometimes I'm so glad to be a provocraft dealer:)
