Hello and welcome to this weeks simon says stamp wednesday challenge we are popping it up and using the super fun products from lawn fawn. Don't forgot every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...wooohooo....now that is worth playing for!

What a fun challenge this week, pop it up...I always like a little depth to elements on my cards; especially flowers. I have used the sweet little flower set called fab flowers and dies. I have used fun foam to pop them up, I luv using fun foam! Cut it with the die so it is the exact size of the shape, perfect for a complete pop up of the shape, then adhere to the back of the images for depth. I have played along with several challenges listed below. I can't wait to see what you create this week!
