Artfully Sent Balloon Ride Pop-Up Card

I'd like to repost my Design Team project at My Sheri Crafts. :-)

I got a brand new Cricut Cartridge that I wanted to play with from Close To My Heart the newest released Artfully Sent. There was a card there that was perfect for this challenge. The card base is Crystal Blue cardstock, and the designer papers are from Close To My Heart's Balloon Ride (retired). I added a Balloon Ride Picture My Life card on the front, which I embellished with Gold Shimmer Trim. The resin flower at the right lower corner is from Ivy lane Assortment (retired). I added some Bling Gems Gold Assortment to bring attention the sentiment and to hold the banner up inside the pop up card.

I used Sketch 104 from the Cardabilities website for my template. Granted it's an older sketch, but I love the versatility of it and it could be used in a variety of projects. I altered a Goodwill find ($3.00, people!!!) and came up with this....a storage solution for my Picture My Life Cards!

I used Skylark paper (retired) to cover the mini chest of drawers. For a neater look, I covered the edges with Lagoon Hearts Washi Tape. The front "knobs" were Teal Acrylic Flowers (retired).

I followed the sketch with a little modification. I layered a small Skylark Picture My Life card to a doily that I had cut at 4" using Juniper Cardstock. I cut some roses from page 69 of the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge at 4", 3" and 2 1/2" using Lagoon Cardstock. The leaves were made from Sweet Leaf Cardstock, cut freehand. I added some Skylark Complements(retired), more Teal Resin Flowers and a zip strip to tie everything together.
