I am so happy that this card looks like it has the center standing higher than the rest of the card. Do you make a lot of these three-dimensional designs? I want to make unique cards for all of my family members. I would like to create pop up cards for each person. If nothing else, I want to make cards that look like they pop up. This one is so fun, I have to include it on my list.
