Karen's Pop Up Box and Next Weeks Challenge





Good Morning Ladies,

Here we are at the end of another week, barely seems possible that we are half way through July already, we go on holiday about a month from today, I can't believe it.

Today's card is one of Karen's, she was asked to make one by a Colleague who wanted it for her sister, (I think that Karen made a bit of a rod for her own back sharing her incredible personalised cards st work, now everyone wants one!) 
The lady asked for a Pop Up Box that featured a photograph of the recipient and Balloons, I think you 100% hit the mark Karen,  I bet she was over the moon when she saw it!  
Karen used her Tattered Lace Special Shaped card USB for the Scan & Cut and used Acetate to add the Balloons etc  which i think is much better that card as it holds up better.  
Your card is Amazing Karen,  thank you so much for sharing it with us. XXX

Next Week's Challenge 

I couldn't decide on a particular Challenge for next week, I think my craft brain is on strike!! 
So I decided to go for a Tictactoe, we haven't had one for a few weeks so I hope you don't mind.
I thought that this one had some different categories in, like Watercolouring and Paper Piercing and Fun Fold too, which is partly why I shared Karen's Pop Up Box today too (as a bit of inspiration)! 
Although you can do any fun fold that you fancy, from a Tent Fold to a Twisted Easel.

I can't wait to see what you all make xx

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra

    KAREN I love your pop up and I'm sure it was a great hit with your requester.

    We're off to Friday market this morning so it will be walk down the main road; stop at the square for a sit and a coffee of course and then on to the supermarket for next weeks food and finally back home.

    I hope all Dear Friends who are not too well at the moment recover soon and that any who have new assistance 'toys' are really enjoying their trips out. Just take things slowly though no crashes wanted lol.

    Well my breakfast has just arrived so I'm off. HUGS are on their way to you all. Have a good day and stay safe.xxxx

  2. Hi everyone,

    Love your pop up box Karen and what a great idea putting the ladies photo on the front. I bet she loved it.x

    Off to craft group today. We have a new venue which is inside a large craft shop. We're like kiddies in a toy store as you can imagine but not good for the bank balance!!

    Wow LYNDA I bet you'll be whizzing around in your wheelchair in no time with Terry running behind to try and keep up!!! Take care.x

    Hugs to all especially those not feeling too good today.
    Love Valxxx

    1. Hi Val unfortunately my wheelchair♿ isn't electric so Terry has to push me. I think I would kill a few people with a electric one, 🤣🤣🙏. Enjoy going to your craft shop is it a newly opened shop 😁?. Xx

    2. Enjoy your craft session Val. Sounds good having a craft session in a craft shop. I go to a Crafters Companion shop in Evesham every 2 mths with Maria Moorhouse for a parchment lesson.

    Karen-what a brilliant card, I’m sure the recipient absolutely loved it.

    Sandra-great challenge for next week.

    The washing machine arrived slightly later than we’d hopes (but well within the states delivery time) so we didn’t get out for lunch but we went into Southport for a wander round then on to the restaurant. Hubby ended up buying shorts, trousers & a winter coat! To be fair they were all in the sale!

    We’re planning on walking into the village again today to the Chocolate shop. We’ll be avoiding Southport as it’s the Orange Lodge parade-Val will probably remember this.

      wear. Happy days!!!

    1. Hi Lynda
      How are you feeling today. Love the idea of CU pushing you around in a wheelchair. Try not to make him work to hard or he might go on strike.
      Gentle hugs coming your way.

  6. Hi Sandra and ladies
    Love your pop up box Karen. A great idea putting her photo on it as well. I haven’t made one yet. I bet the recipient loves it. Michele made a few I remember and had some Christmas ones from one of her magazines. She told me which one so I bought it to make them. As I still haven’t done so perhaps I’ll find them a do them. Yes Sandra the year is flying by.

  8. Hi Sandra and ladies.
    Love the pop up box Karen, the recipient will love it. I still haven't got the hang of making one so maybe the weeks cc can help. Today I'd like to make a cc for this week tho. I'm alright, just extremely tired,achy and having tummy probs on and off so anything doing is put on the back burner and Mojo is non existing . Opened the kitchen window before and all my paper stuff that was out flow on to the floor, what a mess. Got OH to take me over to Aldi yesterday but they didn't sell the little Cutting Machine in ours Sandra. I got the Cuttlebug so might take it with me at next meet and craft in Watford :)
    Lynda, brilliant you got a wheelchair so you can get out and be with 8 paws and CU when they go out. Just tell him not to let go tho if you going down a hill Lol
    Lilian, hope your appointment went as well as these things can do. Sending you hugs.
    Janet, enjoy the market and the Friday cakes. Hope you got a nice breeze and it's not too hot.
    Val, enjoy the craft club today and have fun looking around the shop ! (looking Lol)
    Take care everyone, big and many hugs to you all, Maria xx

    1. Hi Maria

  9. Hello Sandra and ladies.
    Karen your pop-up box card is lovely and I’m sure the lady will be absolutely thrilled with this very unique card. I love how you put little stars on the acetate it adds another dimension. XX

    Lovely choices Sandra in next weeks tic-tac-toe challenge, I think there’s something for everyone there.
    Hope Matt is feeling a little better and responding to the antibiotics. I’m sure he will be better for being at home with you all, especially all the home cooked meals, a great aid to recovery.

    Take care everyone, Love and hugs, Brenda xxx

  10. Thank you ladies for your lovely comments As I said earlier once I’d got my head around it I did enjoy making it The lady loved it I need to make 2 cards for husband and wife celebrating their 70th birthdays later this year So I might do one for at least one of them
    MICHELE reviewed a magazine containing a pop up box die which I might try one of the samples inside the mag
    This hot weather is really playing havoc with my diabetes control For the past couple of nights I have had to get up at 3-4 am and drink/eat when all I want to do is sleep
    Take care ladies 8 paws will be scrounging rides on your lap LYNDA!
    Take care LILIAN MARGARET and MARIA xxx

  11. Hi All, cloudy but still very hot.

    Karen love your pop up box card, never made one, beyond my hands now.

    Sandra great challenge for next week, like the tic tac toe challenge.

    Yesterday’s hospital app, went well, assumed my scan would be the same as when you are expecting, but was done internally, feeling a bit sore today, have to go back Monday morning for another procedure and a biopsy taken, shall be glad when we get the results and know treatment involved.

    Glad you all had a good meeting last week.

    Hugs to all Lilian

      I hope they can give you some answers on Monday. You’ve seem to have had a very long wait. Gentle hugs coming your way.
