It's tickle a teapotter time and I'm so excited to send someone my very first Pop Up Box card! I've always wanted to try this, but you know my aversion to fun folds. It wasn't bad at all! I did mess up just a bit, though. I was following the instructions to make it A2 size, but I accidentally cut the base too short. I kind of like it better though, because I like that I could hang the balloon over the top. I just bought these cute animals on sale from MFT, so I stamped out a bunch of animals, houses, trees, and clouds. The balloon was just big enough to fit the word Hope. Good thing that bear is holding on tight to it!

This is absolutely delightful, Jen! What a treat it will be for someone. I think it's pretty forgiving in terms of size , and the balloon hanging over the edge adds to the feeling of movement. I love all your woodland animals.

Happy accident because the balloon over the top looks great. Love your critters and the happy scene you created. Great gift of a smile to a lucky Teapotter.

What a sweet scene. Love those MFT critters. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has never tried this fold before. Usually, my folds just don't quite work out, but I found this tutorial was really easy to follow -- in fact, I might make another one of these.
