You make me so happy

What's this? I made a card? Hallelujah! I'm so rusty that this simple card took me hours to make, but that's okay. At least I made something, right? I am so behind in my card-making that I hope the next ten go by a little faster.

This card is actually a little different from my other cards. I decided to make it a pop-up card with a little inchie inside. The sentiment on the front reads "You make me so happy" and inside the card, I stamped the rest of the sentiment on the inchie. It reads, "I could wag my tail." The stamp set I used is from the cute little $1 Inkadinkado stamp sets that were at JoAnns. I say *were* since I don't know of any JoAnns that has these little stamps left! I've seen them at on-line stores for as much as $2.99 each. Ouch.

Here's the inside of the card (I haven't written the personalized note yet, so it looks a tad bare):

You can really see the pop-up element in this picture:

Finally, here's a close-up of the inchie I made:

I'm slowly starting to get my creative juices flowing again, so I hope to post more cards in the days to come. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

What a great card!!! I love it - and you know, I almost bought that stamp at Jo's yesterday. They had a ton of them. I bought a different one instead that I know you would love. (Hint - Hoo, Hoo) The card looks great and the use of the inchie is a great idea! You've inspired me tonight to dig out my inchies and make a pop-up card too.

Sam, that is an adorable card! I love the use of the inchie. I have used them plain, but never thought of decorating them! I am glad to hear the juices are flowing again, and that the little one is feeling better! Your "family" has been on my mind a lot lately. I love that pic with you and hubby, what a beautiful scene! Glad to see you back, and with good news!
