I made this card with a lot of help from my Gypsy. It's an A2 size, and the blue card base was created by welding a border from Elegant Edges to a rectangle that I resized from Don Juan.

I then created the flowered layer by welding four 1" squares into a rectangle. I cut it twice for extra sturdiness, since I knew I was going to pop it up. For the window, I welded the same four 1" squares to a rectangle, ran the resulting shape through my Cuttlebug with a woodgrain impression plate, and adhered it to the flowered layer. Before popping up this section on the blue card base, I stamped my flowers.

For my sentiment, I die cut this shape with the My Creative Time Curly Label Die and added the stamped frame from the Inspiring Words {Accents} stamp set and the sentiment from the So Grateful for You stamp set.

Because I cut my card base on a sticky mat, part of the inside didn't look very good. Easy fix - I just added some green cardstock and a strip of patterned paper to match the front.
