Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my first inspiration post this month for the Couture Creations Blog.

After the front and the back panels are attached, the pop-up element should move up and down freely as the card is opened and closed by gently pulling and pushing the sides.

6. Die-cut blender card with Modern Essentials Nesting Rectangle Die. Stamp Gentleman's Emporium - Bicycle and colour.

Add some Silver Glitzin Glamour Glitter.
