Addicted to Stamps and More!

I'm having so much fun designing for Addicted to Stamps and More!  This week our challenge is a sketch challenge.
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!
