Why does Jennifer McGuire make everything look so easy? I suffered for this card today. It took three tries and I did exactly what she said. I wanted to make a pop up card for my new next door neighbors. I used Lawn Fawn dies to make the hello from Lawn Fawn paper and a Gina Marie die for the chairs. The houses were cut from Impression Obsession dies. I wrote my greeting on the inside under the houses. The arch was cut with a My Favorite Things die. I went a little astray with the folds on my first few cards or something. They didn't fold right and I was so frustrated I was ready to drive to Cincinnati. Fortunately, I figured it out and saved myself a trip. Be kind to one another.

Precious and pretty card! Those chairs look so relaxing and I could sit in one all day long.
I don't think Jennifer McGuire could have done any better! Perfect!!!

I just love your sense of humor! If we were closer, you would keep me in stitches and we would have so much fun!! I don't know what is wrong with this card because it looks perfectly fine to me...must be a behind the scenes kind of mistake...either way, great job! Oh and your previous card...that sentiment for Patti is hilarious! It cracked me up and I bet she did scream, or at least want to scream! Have a great day my friend...heading to PT for post knee replacement! Heart Hugs, col

You are so funny, Brenda! Glad you kept at it--lucky new neighbors!
Perseverance paid off as it looks wonderful to me. A great card and sure to be appreciated too.
This is awesome, Brenda. Too bad it took a few tries to get there ... but you did. Fantastic card. Have to say that I have tried a few of Jennifer's "easy" techniques and they rarely work for me. :) We could start a support group. :) xx
Everything looks easy when Jennifer does it. lol I think your card is fantastic! I'm sure your new neighbor will love it. Enjoy your weekend!
Would have been a totally wasted trip you know. This is just fab. A lovely card to give to give your new neighbours. You have nailed this technique. Hugs Mrs A.
So glad you persevered and what a fabulous creation you've made. Amazing pop up card x
Oh I can SO feel for you. I got some of the new Alcohol Lift ink, after seeing Tim and Jennifer use it so easily. I am pretty sure after many video watchings, I did what they did, but I sure didn't get a good impression on the alcohol piece! I'm glad you kept at it, cause both of these cards are just adorable. When I try folds, (one of the few times I really measure!) mine never align properly & nicely - and I really like the house effect in the arch die too! I'm so glad you didn't have to drive into Cincinnati! TFS & Hugs
I think you did a great job, Brenda! I'm not good with folds. Your card is lovely, what a beautiful gift for your new neighbours.
I am with you Brenda, Jennifer McGuire makes everything look so dang easy! lol I pin this one to give it a try sometime, but now I'm half scared to. I love how your's turned out even if it took a few tries, it still came out great! You are the sweetest Brenda, I hope your new neighbors know what a gem they are living by! Hugs, Brenda
