My Craft Spot Challenge #88 Pop It Up!

 This week's challenge at My Craft Spot is an easy and fun one!  The theme is Pop It Up, so you can make anything you want, just pop something up.  


For my card I used a file from SVG Cuts, I put foam tape in between each layer so there is a lot of popping going on here.


The stamps are from the Birthday Wishes stamp set from My Craft Spot.  For the happy birthday  
on the front, I just put the banner down and fit the stamp to it on the block.  The twine for the basket is Caribbean also from My Craft Spot.


Here you can see all the dimension.
