Pop-Up Ornaments

I was thrilled when I won one of the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenges (see this card) and even more thrilled to be invited to be their Guest Designer for this challenge:

Now the problem is that I've never made a pop up or cube card in my life.  My cardmaking style is CAS so I wanted to come up with quite a CAS version of a pop up card. 

Using a simple ornament punch, I punched several ornaments, each out of different decorative papers, all containing images of holly.  I scored each one down the centre and folded them in half.  I then glued them back to back, except for the two that are glued to the card.

It is glued to a panel that is dry embossed with an ornament embossing folder.  I added a sentiment and a length of green hemp twine.

The papers for this ornament on the front of the card are all quite heavyweight papers, giving lots of substance to the ornament.  I was going to repeat it on the inside of the card so that it would pop up when the card is opened but it was too bulky.  Instead I used a lighter weight decorative paper - also holly-themed.  Here's the inside of the card:

And here's a close-up of the ornament on the front of the card:

And a close-up of the inside one:

Here's hoping this will qualify as a pop up card!!  I sure enjoyed making it!  Head on over to 52CCT to see what the Design Team came up with!
