OK, I'll admit it - I am addicted to making cards! I'm at the beach, without my computer, without most of my crafting supplies, without photo editing software, and yet - I really had to make a card! I saw this great challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites to make a Free-standing pop-up card - and I've never made one! So I had to do it, right? Luckily for me, there is a great local scrapbook store, Carolina Stamper, here in Beaufort, so I was able to add a few neccessities.
Luckily, I did have my Magnoia stamps and some of this gorgeous copper patina hand-dyed silk ribbon and sequin flower from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I've got a couple of other ideas that I want to work on while I'm down here - so you may see a few more goodies pop up. (Besides it's 100 degrees today, so I might want it to cool down a little before I venture out to the pool!)
