Popup box card (Old Habits Die card)

Hello everyone,

This card was made as a part of Old Habits Die Card Instagram Hop!  If you are on Instagram, we encourage you to check out the hop here.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of @claires_card_on joining Instagram she put out a challenge to us all: look back at a project we made at least one year ago and update it! Think of all the knowledge you gain in one year, new techniques you've tried, supplies you've purchased... The goal was to take a project that makes you cringe and make it into something you're proud to show off.

Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent!! -Unknown

 We made pop-up box card 2 years ago, back then we were pretty new to cardmaking,so didn't have pattern papers or dies. So, we stamped and did some ink blending over the edges. The balloon was stamped earlier.

Do you want to see our earlier card, check it here.

Though we like the older card, but the coloring makes us cringe. We like the newer version better.

But, now, we used our pattern papers and balloon die for pop- up element.

Our coloring has improved over the years, still a long way to go. Earlier, we used pencil colors. We used brush pens to watercolor now.

Entering the popup box card into the following challenges:

1. Stamplorations Challenge inspired by theme- balloons have curves and we used bear and cupcake stamps

2. Hero-arts-blog/stay-crafty-22

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy crafting.
