Well, another week flown... and this one was very eventful for yours truly, more of that later! To Desks of the World first - over at dear Julia’s desk at the Stamping Ground.
Here I am making a pop up card... my desk as I left it last night. If you want the best tutorial on this card see this Video HERE! Was I ever glad to find this tutorial. My desk is midstream. Trying to work out what colours DP (disc. Stampin Up) to use. Have the pop up mechanism made and the 3D image of Mario and Luigi done, both done before went away. Prototype run through was on last week’s desk, if you want to scroll down. Really this method is quite an easy card, as there is no measuring, etc. However, I of course, made it more complex. The comedy of errors today as I completed the card, shows that I wasn’t with it. The best (or worst) was putting final card base on upside down! 😉 So cut it all down make new base and re-adhere! 😆
The completed card, (image courtesy of Google) as a flat card, C5 size as it’s gone by Express post to Brisbane and that’s the Express envelope size. At least I thought to check that!
Downloaded a Mario Kart Font from da Font site and installed it on Word for greeting.

The ribbon was to help pull up pop up mechanism. Rounded the corners of pull up mechanism cardstock and used fancy Star punch for ribbon hole, it was coloured with a Promarker to match card as had nought that shade.
The card popped out below.
And a side view.

My Aussie shots were taken down in the big smoke, they have lovely beaches there too! I was there with my uncle, and aunt's neice! We had an enjoyable meal together. 😊
Well, thanks for popping over for a peek and a chat, I really am sorry I did not make one comment last week, not even on Julia’s blog. I barely had time to link up.
Will do better this week, the trip was successful medically by the way and all is well. So very grateful.
Prayer hugs for every blessing on your way, Shaz in Oz.x
Thought for the day, a good verse to pray and strive for:

I love your card! Such fun! It will certainly be enjoyed! Love your beach shots too, we are into our Spring with warmer days popping up all the time and that means playing by the seaside! YAY! Your friend is a very talented artist, I went over to her blog and delighted in her artwork. Praying for your speedy recovery, back to full bounce! xxx
What a terrific, colourful and fun card - am sure the little one will be delighted with it. Will check out the video later.
Oh Shaz, what on earth happened? It must have been a terrible shock to you when you fell and to do such a lot of damage to your little face. I do hope that it is improving now and each day brings it nearer to normality. Thank the Lord for all the helping hands you had to get you more comfortable.
You just reminded me I haven't seen Sandra de on WOYWW for ages. how lovely that you get to meet up with her, she has such talent. I will pop over to her blog now.
You take care, stay on soft sandy beaches out of harms way.
God Bless You

Oh poor you...I’m so glad that no bones were broken, take time to heal...the shock is horrid from an accident like that. pleased to hear that the rest of the Sydney trip was good...keep it up! I smiled in understanding when you said that you made the pop up card more complicated than it needed to be......that surely is a common skill amongst us card makers!! It looks fab though, and that you checked the envelope size first is frankly genius.
Hello Shaz and Yes I did remember to post this wednesday. Lovely catching up and chatting and shopping. Hope your recovery has been quick and uneventful. Love the super mario card. You have such a great way with cards.

HI Shaz, so glad to hear the fall didn't do any serious damage, it's so easy to trip over. Love the card, and you're not alone, I've assembled a card upside down before now! Lovely prints from Sandra De. You do seem to have the most beautiful beaches! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #1 X
So pleased to hear that your getting over the nasty fall and nothing got broken. Love this card . The six yr old will love it. If you look on the butterfly blog there is a tab at top of page for card shapes . I have added 3 versions on how to make a Dutch fold card . Hugs Mrs A.
I like your funny and colorful slider card. Perfect for a 6 year old child. :-)
Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope eye make up is getting to normal until today.
Have a nice day,
Sonja
Love the card you made and it was good to hear you've been out and about meeting more blogging friends but oh dear me! I'm so sorry to hear you've had a fall but glad it was nothing more serious than bumps and bruises....do take your time to rest and recoup well.
Hugs,
Annie x #8
What a cleverly designed card! So sorry to learn you've had a bad fall. I do hope all's well and will pray for you. xoxo

Hi Shaz, sorry to hear about your fall - hope you recover soon!! Great little Mario card - and we've all done that before. (In my craft class we call it 'making an australian'). Happy WOYWW Cindy #9
Such a bright posting despite the fall. Take care lovely Shaz

What a fun card - it looks complicated but worth it. Glad to hear you are recovering from your fall, and that no bones were broken. Apart from your accident your catch up with Sandra De sounded lovely and what fabulous prints - she is so talented.
Have a good week,
Hugs, Diana x #17
I love your adorable pop up card with Mario. Thanks for sharing and letting me view your surroundings.
So glad you weren't badly injured Shaz. Good that you and SandraDe were able to meet up, pity that RosA couldn't be there. Love the card!!! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Oh my dear sweet Shaz. I am so sorry about your fall. Thank the merciful Lord that it wasn’t more serious. I’m glad that He provided helpful people around you when you needed them. Your card is delightful. Card making remains a mystery to me, but you make it beautiful and fun. I will be praying for complete healing for you my friend. Blessings Betsy
Super card Shaz - but so scary about the fall. Glad you'rO K and somewhat intact, but what a shock. Dudley sends a huge lick to help recover! And a woof thrown in for good measure. I kid you not, if we could bottle his love then we'd be onto a cure all! He's fast asleep again, doing a starfish impression - splayed out in the bathroom!
Sending loads of hugs

I am sorry about your tumble, hope the bruises fade soon! Love the pop up card; they are so clever. Helen '#3
Hi Shaz, oh dear I'm so glad nothing was broken after your fall. Hope you recover fully. My grandsons woukd love the Mario card, I might have to remember it. I've stuck things together upside down many times. Have a lovely week Heather x #14
What have you been up to Shaz! Pleased to hear you're not too badly hurt. Loving the photos and the cards too. Have a lovely woyww, Angela x15x
How lovely to meet up with Sandra! Her watercolours are gorgeous as ever. I'm sorry to hear that you fell though, bad luck Shaz, I'm just grateful you didn't break anything major, though you must be battered and bruised. Sending you gentle hugs,

What an eventful day you had Shaz. At least nothing was broken...Your pop up card and the images is fantastic ... thanks for the link to the tutorial..I must have a look ate the card toppers by Sandra De...Loz
I am glad you escaped that fall without serious damage. Take care of yourself. I bet that card was really loved on arrival, it is certainly fun. Hope you have a more comfortable week. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #11
OH dear! Glad to hear nothing was broken!
Card is so cute!
that card is just too cute and fun, sure this young man will be very happy with it :)
Lovely flowers by Sandra, she does a lovely job coloring.
Beautiful beach pictures!
Oh Shaz, what an embarrassment to fall like that - so glad that you are recovering, albeit with a techni-coloured eye!!
Love your fabulous card - that it such fun for a 6 yr old
Blessings

I hope you have recovered a little from your fall - it really shakes you up doesn't it. Take it easy for a bit. xx Jo
Ouch! Poor you...I hope you make a swift recovery. I love the pop up card! Thanks for sharing, sorry I’m late. Have a lovely week. Caro x(#10)
How fun I haven't seen Mario and Luigi in years. Your card is totally adorable. Pop ups are fun and kids love them too. Did a few last year.
Glad you were not hurt in your tripping. Really love Sandra De's prints Beautiful colors. Thanks for the visit. So much to do, getting ready to visit my son in Boston and trip organizing is not fun with this cool weather.
Have a wonderful weekend.
OMG! Glad you weren't hurt with broken bones. Are they going to compensate you? Lovely beach shots, just what I need to be looking at right now, it was still below freezing this morning! The pop-up card looks like so much fun, any 6 year would love it! Have a great week, Lindart #29
Oh Shaz, poor you! I am so sorry you took a tumble and hurt your face! My hubby did that once, when I was in hospital and he was so worried about me and wasn't looking where he was going - I've got his selfies just after he fell and they would grace any horror movie!! Hope you get better soon and don't have the panda eyes for too long. I love your cute card - so bright and fun, and just right for a 6-yr-old. Gorgeous watercolour prints, too. Thank you for your comments, and sorry you can't see the photos still. I'm seriously thinking of transferring my blog to Wordpress if I can stand all the work involved... Sorry you've had dental problems too. Horrible, isn't it. Thank you so much for your prayers for my hospital appointment next week. Whatever he decides, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about it. Glad you liked the baby kits pic - they were so adorable, and so big now!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #24
OH bless you, hope you're ok now after your tumble X Wow!! WHAT a fun card, I must check out that tutorial, you've done a brilliant job with it :o) Hav ea lovely weekend! Annie C #12
More gorgeous photos and wow, that is some birthday card, just love it.
Oh Shaz... do be more careful. Gotta love the color-changing eye make-up. ;-) Great card. Why do we always seem to have to make things more difficult? guilty here! Lovely pictures. I live vicariously through the rest of this group, seeing places I will never visit. Creative Blessings! Kelly #28
I like your Mario card very much and when scrolling down the pages I enjoyed a lot more of your cards, so I am going to follow you.
It's great seeing the Ozzie pictures. We have been there twice and made long trips through the eastern part and the center of the continent. My youngest brother has married an Ozzie girl and is living there now. We miss him....

Oh, Shaz, I'm so sorry for your trip 'n fall, but so very grateful that you are fine and you've had no residual bad after-effects! That's so scary how one minute you're up and the next you're flat on your face! Your Mario interactive pop-upcard is fabulous and will be loved by the little tyke! Great beach photos, too. Sorry for the late visit. I'm just perpetually chasing my tail these days!! Hugs, Darnell
Fantastic fun card and slider design. Emmax
