It all started with this card from my friend and team member, Debbi Muche!
She sent this pretty pop up card to me and I was in love!

Debbi was inspired by a crafter’s youtube channel called Iced Images.  Debbi tweaked it a little to make the columns and front of card all in one piece of paper.   You can find Debbi’s Blog Post about it HERE 

Then our friend and team member, Cindy Brumbaugh, created her own version using the Plentiful Plants!

You can find her video making this one HERE 

I decided to make my versions larger, a 5×7 size.  It is still under an ounce and even though larger, it is just one postage stamp to mail.
My first one got away from me, it turned into an hour long project where I kept adding and adding to it!
I wouldn’t want to make more than one  of them, but it was fun!  I used the new Waves of the Ocean designer paper:

The second one is much more simple and classic.  I love how it turned out also!  The little strip of window sheet/acetate helps the whale ‘float’ in the middle.

The Horizons 6×6 designer paper makes it SO easy to create a cool card:

Here is my video showing how to make it!

I really like the shadow box or telescope effect of the landscape paper!
