Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
How are you doing? I have been doing online shopping. It is so nice when things arrive at the house. I will try not to get carried away.
I didn't realise quite how hard it would be to make cards for my hubby now he is retired. I have a crafty friend who has had this problem for a while. Now I sympathise hugely. We are meeting for a socially distanced walk later this morning, I can have a chat with her about this and hopefully get some tips.
Anyway this is the Valentine's Day card I made for my hubby. I kept having to hide it when he came downstairs.
I made a pop-up card for a Design Team project and I thought it would be nice to make my hubby one. I do have instructions on my blog showing how to make these. This one is make from an A4 sheet of paper. You can reach my page HERE.
After that it is just a case of decorating the panels how you feel. I found the heart paper in my stash. I used dies from Tattered Lace. Crafter's Companion and Creative Expressions.
This is how the card folds up to put in an envelope.
Not too long and I will be able to give my hubby this card.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Have a good weekend. I hope the weather will be good for walking.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

Verynicely done popup-card! I'm sure your hubby will love it! I tried to make one of these cards and it was a failure...the card looked nice, but the inside feel apart...I guess I didn't glue it well enough. You are inspiring me to try to do one again (sometime) I have the same problem with making a card for hubby. I have to quick hide my card sometimes so he can't see me working on it.
The black and red is so striking Jackie, and it's a beautiful box card, all the papers and that heart on the front are wonderful, I'm sure he will love it, Kate x
A gorgeous creation,love it.xxx

I love your pop up card with all of those layers on each panel It really adds impact
You really are the queen of using old cards I look at ones I receive and can never think they can be used!
Your daffodil card is very pretty Nice and cheerful too
I hope you get some tips from your friend I find it hard to go into my craft room now the OH is at home but it’s also become my office and perhaps that’s why I don’t have the mojo to craft .... + the worrying world we live in at the moment
Take care x
Gorgeous make hun, I'm sure he will love it!
Stay safe xx
This is stunning Jackie!
A very special valentine card indeed. I am sure your Hubby will like it. Fortunately for me The Doc likes to go out on his bike when the weather allows so i use that time to craft anything he is not supposed to see. Hugs Mrs A.
super cute, I esp love that heart on the bottom of the box. Gorgeous!! die cuts
Beautiful! xoxo
A fabulous card Jackie!
My OH has regularly worked from home for a couple of days a week, so it wasn't too much of a problem making a card for him on the days he was in the office. That all changed with Covid of course, as he's been working from home full time since last March - and we share the study-craft room!
A stunning box
Gorgeous pop-up card Jackie.
