Twist Pop-up Card from Scraps

Hi, everyone!  In keeping with my goal for this year, I tried a different style of card!  It's a Twist Pop-up!  It is not new, but new to me!  To start, I saw a fun challenge to "Use Your Scraps" at Winnie and Walter's 4th Birthday Bash and thought it would be a good opportunity to use all the scraps I had left over from the three cat ATCs I made last week.  Here's a photo of my scraps before I started:

I decided to make a card for Janis at Her Peaceful Garden to coordinate with the ATCs I made for her 60th birthday ATC party. Janis loves cats, and I always say if you have a birthday in February, you have to expect hearts on your card as well!  I could also say that this card celebrates Janis's love of cats!  Here is the front:

Stamps:  Sentiment (Lawn Fawn Meow You Doin')

Ink:  Versamark
Digital Background: Winnie and Walter - The Gossip Column Grid freebie
Dies: Poppystamps Strolling Kitties, Poppystamps Pouncing Cat, Poppystamps Curious Cat, Poppystamps Heart Buttons, stitched scalloped hearts
Other: Embossing folder (Cuttlebug Cross Your Heart), Ranger white embossing powder, number stickers

Now here's the exciting part - when you open it!  I'm so happy with how it turned out!  Such a fun surprise when it's opened!  I followed a YouTube video tutorial on Maymay Made It Crafts.  If I had to make it over, I would use lighter-weight cardstock for the twist pop-up mechanism as the card became bulky, and it will not lie flat when closed. I will be doing that next time.
