My favourite product to feature the colour Cinnamon Cider is……
……and I used it when creating my card for this week’s blog hop.
My card:
In between watching the Olympics and the footy I sat down at the craft table to create two special order cards. My mother-in-law had requested I make her two birthday cards – an 80th and a 60th. Her only instruction was, “They have to be really, really special!”
One card was for her sister who had recently lost her husband and the other for her lovely neighbour. Bev (88 years young MIL) lives on her own an hour and a half away from Stephen and I. Stephen is very attentive, he visits at least once a week and FaceTimes her often. Lisa, her lovely neighbour checks on Bev each day and she and her husband run small errands for her. Without Lisa, the past two years would have been impossible.
So yes, the cards needed to be SPECIAL!!!
This is Lisa’s card. Lisa loves to garden so the choice to use the Bloom Where You’re Planted designer series paper was an easy one.
The card folds down to fit in a standard envelope and has a place on which to write the greeting, on the back.
Even though it doesn’t feature Cinnamon Cider, I thought you might like to see the other version.
I had lots of fun making these cards as I hadn’t made a pop-up box for years. They were all the rage a few years back. Best part is that Bev thought they were wonderful.

You really did make your special order cards “special”! Perfect choice of DSP for both cards. They are lovely and I’m sure we’re well received.
Michele you’ve done a beautiful job creating these cards for these special people. The recipients are very lucky.
Love a card in the box Michele and your very special card is perfect. So wonderful to have great neighbours. What a perfect stamp set and bundle for a garden lover. I haven’t made one of these cards for so long either, I might just have to now seeing your great creations. I am sure they were very well received.
What special cards they are, Michele, just perfect for these very special milestones. The Bloomn Where You’re Planted Suite is really lovely in this style of card!
Both cards are great Michele, thanks for sharing. I think a box card often fills the bill when something special is needed, and good to hear m-i-l was pleased with your work.
Your cards are wonderful! The box card is such a great way to feature the Bloom Where You Grow suite, and the pansies look amazing!
Both your box pop-up cards are Special! It’s no wonder Bev was impressed – they are delightful. I love the use of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP. It is perfect for a pop up box card. Xxx
Love your card in a box cards. I am sure they will be loved by Lisa and the other recipient.
Wow, these are amazing Michele. You definitely ticked the “very very special” brief! I can’t pick between these beautiful cards and I imagine the recipient would feel very special.
Michele I’m so glad your mother-in-law has Lisa in her life and that you were able to make such a special card for her. Pop-up box cards are are a favourite of mine and I just love both of these!
Beautiful, Michele! I especially like the way you decorated the outside of the box card. All the “garden” details are gorgeous, too – definitely a special card! The 80th birthday card is also very special – so glad you shared it with us!
