My First Ever Pop Up Card

The outside -- nothing too exciting, because the fun part of this card is INSIDE!

Open this card and you'll see....

This is my FIRST ever pop-up card.  I've wanted to try them for some time, and did once --- it's didn't work out so I gave up.  Then yesterday I "stumbled upon" this post (incredible!!!) with a link to this site!  I had to try again, and the above card shows that I finally made it work!
