While perusing one of the many wonderful craft blogs I follow, I found a cute, cute, cute idea at Clearly iStamp. It is called Honeycomb Pop Ups and Lisa gives a great tutorial. I was already planning to make a birthday card and thought this would be a fun addition to it! I tend to make more pretty and girly birthday cards, so am trying to make some that are more masculine or at least generic. This would work for a boy, I think.
