At a recent demo at my LSS, I rediscovered this cool pop-up card style. Dawn showed us her wonderful takes on this card style and I decided to do mine as a special thank you to some friends for my wonderful birthday cards and gifts. Since our little stamping circle treats hugs as a standard part of greeting and parting I thought this stamp especially appropriate.

When totally closed the thanks hides away inside the folds, but a quick tug and the greeting appears. I had fun coloring in the stamp with the pastels. – So easy- yet very soft and effective!
