I have been waiting for this one all year! The Pop Up exchange is to share anything that "pops up." Calligraph a card and make something pop - a heart, a flower, a bug - let your imagination run wild! ;D

As always, the following guidelines apply:
1. Calligraphy should be used on both your exchange insert and envelope.
2. You will send a card to every member on your list (typically 7-9 members).
3. Must be related to the theme.
4. All skill levels welcome!
5. If you end up not being able to participate, please contact me ASAP. If you don't send your cards after the list has gone out, you will not be able to participate in the next exchange.

Hi Erica! I’m pretty sure I signed up but I haven’t received a list yet!
EDIT- I JUST FOUND IT! Thanks!

THIS would have been a ball. Perhaps I can keep up with such things starting next month after ghosting Instagram. Only so much time in the day for SM. Thinking it will be a good rest.

My envelopes went out yesterday. Looking forward to seeing how creative you guys got with this challenge ;D
-
Mine went out yesterday, too. I worked on them every day for two weeks. LOL. But I had so much fun forgetting all the troubles of the world and crafting my little heart out. ;D
-
Wow!! That sounds like an epic project Erica, how exciting!!
-
LOL - thank you! It was and it was so fun! Hopefully people will like them. I will share photos once they have started to arrive. ;D

@Erica McPhee
Wow. Mine arrived yesterday and it's terrific. Just what I needed in the morning. And the envelope--really, really nice. Just grand.

I have 3 so far and they are all so fun @Erica McPhee your card was a technical marvel and you flora on point was absolute perfection 😍 @new2flourish I loved your classic copperplate and peacock pop up! @Calligragen your take on the challenge was so effective - thank you all so much @sabrinajones I hope to receive yours soon to complete my set! ☺️
-
Hooray! I am so happy to hear they arrived in good condition. Thanks so much Mike for your kind words! I had a lot of fun making these.
LOL - thank you Nikki! I can’t take credit for the technical aspect… I found a teacup pop up on YouTube and knew I could adapt it for my inkwell. I love intricacies and it was so fun to figure out how it all worked together. The woman who came up with it is pure genius and must be an engineer of some sort. ;D I am LOVING the Flora on Point class! Thanks so much! This was a great exchange!
