Well I am so sorry I didn’t post back yesterday :C I do have a great sketch for you below.
I ended up feeling so sick ALL day at CKC! I thought it was a “possible” hangover from the whopping ONE Raspberry Lemonade Martini I had at dinner on Friday, but it turns out it must be the awful virus Amber & Alexa have passed back and forth the last week.
I was getting WAVES of awful nausea. To the point where people could just look at me and say “Oh boy are you OK? You are green and your lips are white.” When Paulette and I started the trip is when it really hit. He stopped to get some anti-nausea medication-so I could make it through the day (talk about your die hard shopper right? LOL!). So ALL I could find were these Cherry Chewable tabs. Now THAT is the true test right there!! If you are nauseous and you don’t vomit while chewing down those 3 NASTY tabs you are good to go! LOL! Seriously WHY do you want to chew down soe nasty gritty cherry flavored horse tab-that I couldn’t have opted to swallow? Anyway after a 1/2 hour more awful waves of nausea hit. I looked on the back of the box and it said MAY REPEAT DOES IN 15 MINUTES. WHAT!!! What kind of drug did I take? Obviously not a very good one if I can repeat it in 15 minutes!!
Anyway I wasn’t very good company. So not myself. I sort of shopped on my own so I wouldn’t be a downer, and complain all day. I felt really bad since Tracey, Kerrie and Mom (Tracey’s mom-who is just like the sweetest person ever, we were all calling her mom) came from NY, and my friend Debbie from MA- who I haven’t seen since last year, and then Molly B (yes she is the WINNER of all the PTI stuff!! and she made me the sweetest card) who I met for the first time there at CKC met up with us from ME, all traveled a long way for me to not be very chipper.
We did make a pit stop at The Paper Tree! That was fun. And yes she takes phone orders and will ship to you. (can you say Scor-Pal and ATG gun! To name a few of the yummies-tell her I sent ya!)
Put it this way-I walked in the door with ALL my purchases and my husband said “THAT is all you bought?” me-“Yes, I told you I feel awful” him-“Do you have some of it hiding out in the car?” me-“No! This is really what I got” him-“Yeah! You ARE really sick! Whay don’t you go to bed, and I’ll put your stuff away for you.”
Don’t get me wrong I still got a lot of stuff. Just nothing compared to previous years. I never come back with money! LOL! I tried too, to not get WAY too much patterned paper.
OK blah, blah, blah!
Let me get to the card for today. Since I got a bunch of emails and requests for THIS CARD (scroll down-its the butterfly pop out), I figured I better share what I did! LOL!
So todays Sketch is a pop out card!
The one I will share today was done for a b-day Party Amber was attending yesterday, where the theme was Curious George. The invite had him holding a balloon. LIGHT-BULB moment here!
Side view
Here is what you do!
You make your A2 size card ( 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 FOLD AT TOP).
Then you make your pop out layer! You cut your card layer 4 X 11.
Stamp your image, where you wish, towards the BOTTOM of the card.
Pick what part you want to pop out. You then go to your Scor-Pal, and score UP TO (not through) your image, on either side. Anything ABOVE the score line, you use your Hobby Blade to cut out. NOTE: Use a Basic Grey File (or sanding block) to smoothen your edges if they are too funky from the blade! I went back and did mine on this one later when I realized it wasn’t perfect;y smooth looking
(FYI mine was scored about 2 1/2 inches from bottom)
Then you score it again, where ever your front flap folds down to. So when it is closed the ends lay flush together. From the second score-(when your bottom flap is folded against the card) you will cut the top of the cardstock to be 5 1/4 inches. This makes the layer for the front of the card.
DO THIS BEFORE YOU DECORATE THE TOP PORTION OF YOUR CARD!
Now the reason for this method is every set is different and where you stamp things can affect the length you need for you card. This way ensures you will definitely get your card to look perfect every time-just by trimming any excess off the the top.
Once it is cut (so your fold out layer-when folded closed is 4 X 5 1/4) and decorated, adhere to card front.
I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE!
NOW another tip for an EASY pop out-just score you card pop out layer-then on a separate piece of cardstock-stamp and layer your image, and place it on the scor-line. That is not nearly as fun though!
My card is layered onto black cardstock.
Here is the card from the top view
I used the airplane/banner (LOVE that image) from MFT Going Places, and sentiment is from Happiest Birthday Wishes. I used SU! Markers to color each letter in the colors I liked, and since its an acrylic stamp I just bent it to go inside my banner!
Letters are by SEI Penelope’s Potpourri.
I used the monkey from It’s My Birthday (YOU MUST OWN THIS SET). I then created my own clouds using my circle punches, and a sponge dauber. The colors were taken from the American Crafts ribbon.
Inside this clear top nugget tin are Curious George stamps, a black ink pad, sticker book, and stickers. (We included a few other things, but this was the Curious George portion of the gift).
I just stuck the card under the ribbon band. I wasn’t at the party but Jay said he seemed to really love the stamps. YEAH! I ALMOST went the extra mile and decorated the tin, but then thought it would be more fun for him to use his stickers and stuff on it.
So there you have it!
I swear this is SUPER easy and SUPER fun!!! So I hope you give it a whirl. If you do send us a link here so we can check out your creation.
Also if you have ?’s let me know. I do ask that you print the directions out and TRY it, before you think it doesn’t make sense. A lot of times if you at least attempt it first you can figure it out, as oppose to just reading it.
Thanks again for checking in. I’m off to bed again. I need to rest up before the busy week.
Tomorrow I have a post for Pink Cat Studio Challenge!! I hope you will try and play along 😀
Later this week I have a post using some Gina K and who knows what else! LOL! Lot’s to do.
Enjoy the beautiful day (after to you try this)!

I’m curious what CKC is too…I figured it was some craft show thingy….but not exactly sure what and who could attend.
I’ll have to give this pop out card a go later today or tomorrow since it is a holiday here in Canada 🙂

Thanks Susan
Aw Lauren, sorry you didn’t enjoy CKC to it’s fullest. I hope you feel better soon.
BTW, your pop out card is too cute! Thanks so much for another awesome tutorial!!
Hope you feel better Lauren. I’ve never made one of these cards before, so this is really going outside my comfort zone, but I’ll give it a try just for you. 🙂
sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well during CKC.
This is definitely an awesome sketch that I’m going to try out today.
Your card is way too cute!
Have a great day.
Super cute card! I love that set as you know!!!!
Ok how did I miss the ATG at The Papertree????? I guess I was too excited about the scor-pal. Oh well I guess I will be making a call on Monday! I knew I should have waited for you guys before I went in there! Feel Better!

Lauren,
I hope you feel better soon. I had this yucky stomach virus a week ago and I know how miserable it is. I can deal with almost anything but this!
Love the card and the tutorial. One of the things I love about your blog. You always inspire me to try new techniques!
sp sorry you didn’t feel good at CKC. That is really sad when your hubby doesn’t think you bought enough. That has never happened to me!
This card is amazing!!!! The perfect kid card!!!
What a BUMMER, you feeling sick all day! I am SOOOO sorry that happened….of all the times to feel bad! ACK!
Glad you made it thru the day, even if it was awful…and glad you found some things to bring home!
Hey, did you ever get the cards I sent the 2nd time?? This time I put them in a bubble envelope…if not, I think I’m giving up on NH mail!!! 😀
Hope you are feeling much better today…HUGS!
OMG, so sorry to hear you were sick! That really stinks, but it sounds like that didn’t stop you. I’m the same way I would have kept going!! Well Ihope you are feeling better today! When you feel better do share what you picked up!
I feel bad you didn’t enjoy your day as you should have…you certainly deserve it! Love your card! It is adorable!!!
Hi Lauren! Hope you’re feeling better! Seems a virus is running thru our house (the kids) right now too. Spring is no time to be sick–lol! I loved your card today and it inspired me to make my own version–visit my blog to see–hope you like it. Happy Belated Birthday to you too–we share the same birthday!

Oh I’m so sorry you weren’t feeling well for your fun trip! This card is tooo much! It’s so cute and I love every inch of it!
Hey you – You were still plenty fun to be around, but I could totally tell you felt awful, which just made the mom in me come out, and I wanted to take you home and sned you to bed, but you were a real trooper, and hung out with us anyway 🙂 It was an awesome weekend…hopefully we can do it again sometime soon. Well…Nick may prefer if next time we just hang out…no shopping 😉
{{{HUGS}}} sweetie!
Chat soon!
Hope you’re feeling better now. Cute gift set. I’m going to try to a card with this sketch. That monkey is the cutest!
I’m sorry you were feeling so sick. It seems so unfair that when we moms get time away from the kids and household duties we end up being unable to enjoy it to the fullest! I can’t wait to see the George card. My youngest LOVES George!
Sorry to hear you were so sick! That puts a damper on a fun day! Love that monkey card – it’s so cute! Thanks for sharing it.
Such a shame you didn’t get to enjoy your shopping trip properly. Hope you’re feeling better soon 🙂

Underground Catholics point out classic wedding invitations for years the Vatican seems to have put the underground faithful in brackets: many vacant sees have not had replacements and seminarians are asked to enter the official seminaries. Instead, they say, in order to strengthen the faith of the entire Church in China, the Holy See should go ahead on its own, without considering the opinion of the government, and in the name of the pastoral good of the faithful, ordain bishops and ordain priests even in the unofficial community. Perhaps the Catholic communities could learn from the underground Protestant communities that now, faced with the violence of the regime, appear in public to demand religious freedom. Some of them were arrested, but while they show the world that simple wedding invitations only desire is to see the religious freedom implemented that the Chinese constitution preaches (without practicing it).
Then to strengthen the relationship between the Church in China and the Universal Church it is important to enhance the great efforts of so-called bridge-churches: those of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore. Through visits, reports, financial aid, sending teachers and religious personnel, they can comfort and help develop the life of the Chinese community, stifled by control or green wedding invitations
Good one … keep rocking Gopal 🙂

Replica Handbags are an essential fashion accessory for women. They do not only complement their outfit, but they are also an expression of their personality. This is the reason why women are very specific when choosing their own handbags. Chloe Handbags
is one of the most favored designer handbags today. Christian Dior Handbags unfortunately, their high cost makes it restrictive for the average consumer to afford. Instead, many people just settle for less than the dream designer bag that they’ve always wanted to have.
It is an interesting approach. I commonly see unexceptional views on the subject but yours it’s written in a pretty unusual fashion. Surely, I will revisit your site for additional info. Thanks for the article.
I really like this website , and hope you will write more ,thanks a lot for your information.
