Today's blog hop features the Scoreboard Memo Holder die by Eileen Hull. This nifty little folio is sized to hold a stack of sticky notes just perfectly, but it's also the perfect little sturdy card to hold a pop-up.
I used the Pop-up Heart die, but only because it has a lovely solid heart on the die. In this case, I wanted a large heart to fold into an explosion heart. I had to do the scoring and folding to create the explosion heart by hand, but I've made up a quick little instruction sheet on it, which you can save and print for reference.
