And this is my card that I made for him.  Hope it made it there safely.  If you follow me on twitter you may have noticed that I was playing with this die the other day.  I finished it last night and mailed it!  

Not bad I might say for my 1st pop up.  My cake sorta “fell” when I smushed the card to close it.  I think I had too many card stock layers.  I did manage to stuff it in an envelope and mail it but it was a bit thick.  BUT SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!

I am playing with some other designs- should be fun to see them.  

Some of my thoughts on the die:  Positives:  very easy to use.  very easy and relatively quick to assemble.  major wow effect, major creative options.  

Negatives- Keep in mind this was my 1st card ….it did not close all the way but my cake was designed in a lot of thick card stock.  it was hard to stand it up for the picture.   my cake looked really good, even after closing the card,  but the inside layers on the cake were a little low.  other than that I really liked it.  

verdict- FUN!!! I will for sure make More to perfect it!
