As soon as I saw this sketch I imagined cutting an X in the center of a rectangle and folding the triangles up. I did that, but decided to turn it over and it created a sort of pop-up frame!
I really like the effect it created and it was really easy. I just started with a rectangle of DSP that was 4"x5" then cut an X in the middle and folded the flaps up. It looks neat that way or you can flip it over like I did for a completely different effect! My card ended up being a weird big size, but it is unique, that is for sure. Most of the time when I put a card on a gift it doesn't go in an envelope anyway because I want everyone to see it!

This is beautiful, great colors and so cute stamped images and buttons in the middle! I'm having a day off from work and woke up only some time ago -at first I read "drinking of you"... Might need to drink a bit more of this morning coffee... :)
