Help Me Grow Gardening Theme- Pop Up Panel Fun Fold

Today’s project is a sneak peek for what’s coming in March: the Help Me Grow stamp and die bundle, as well as the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder:

I got my inspiration for the color from the current Colour Inkspirations #202 color challenge. When you are starting with a blank slate, new product, and no firm ideas of what you want to do, a colour challenge is a great place to start.

I would have never landed on these colors on my own with this set, but I love it. I used the Lemon Lolly two-toned paper for the background, and selected to use the lighter side to tone it down. In addition, I embossed it with the Lazy Daisy folder and then sanded it to bring out a little white, further “toning down” the yellow.

Don’t get my wrong; I like yellow. I just didn’t want it to be overpowering.

Aren’t these garden tools so adorable? I used one more upcoming new product: the metal parts of these garden tools are die cut from the Lunar Luster paper. It’s a gray paper with quite a bit of shimmer, but not so much that it’s sparkly.

This fun fold card opens up and the main image pops forward for a fun, interactive element. It’s quite easy to do; you only need two pieces of cardstock for the base. Download your free copy of the measurements here:
