Today's pop-up card project: "Hey, diddle, diddle,"

[MerryBlooms]

"Hey, diddle, diddle,"
By Mother Goose

Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

1. Way cool, but now you have to tell us your secret!

Do you buy a kit or use a Cricut ? Your cards are beautiful!

(I'm not up on the latest craft ideas.)

2. My designs are my own. I buy dies, punches, embossing folders, ebay for some specialty die cuts...

I have a basic Cuttlebug.

No, I don't usually buy kits. I do have an origami kit that I will make and include in my next year's card gift pack for family and friends.

3. Your family and friends must really enjoy receiving them.

Thanks for the tips and for sharing your creations! I didn't know anything about this craft. I always learn something new on DU!

4. Yes, they do love them and save them all, and that was so nice to hear.

At Christmas, I send sets to my closest friends and family for their personal use. One of my favorite sets from last Christmas was a butterfly collection. Each card was a different butterfly design. I have a steampunk set I'm working on this year for my sister.

5. Very nice! I made my first tri fold shutter card earlier this year...

haven't done much with pop ups yet. I only make about 4 or 5 cards a year but I really enjoy it.
