Pop-Up and Die Cut Cards from OCC

I'm really, really loving the Holiday Card Workshop from OnlineCardClasses.com. Last week was crazy busy with my husband traveling, and all my students turning in major papers that needed grading, and trying to prepare for a craft show over the weekend, but I've been sneaking in cards as often as possible.

I love the cards I've made so much I'm submitting them for several challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp, Monday Challenge

• Try it On Tuesday

• ABC Christmas Challenge

• A Place to Start

Pop-Up Hexigon

The focal piece is made from three separate hexagon die cuts with some fancy folding. I had to adapt the technique from class but I love how it turned out!
