So Happy by Beth Reames

Plenty of cheer is near! This 3-D masterpiece combines colorful shapes and eye-catching patterns to express all kinds of joy. Create with the interactive fun of a Sizzix Pop ‘n Cuts Die and smiles are sure to follow.
Place the magnetic Pop 'n Cuts Circle Label insert inside the base die, align the center fold of the insert with the center of the base die. Add the Heart Movers & Shapers Magnetic die to the opening in the Circle Label pop-up and die-cut the Card out of cardstock and a separate piece of patterned paper large enough to cover the pop-up. Set aside the patterned paper Label. Fold along crease lines to bring the pop-up image forward as shown. Die-cut a Card cover for the insert using the Base die without an insert or magnetic die. For best results, trim the length of either the outside or inside Card. We trimmed the edges of the inside Card, then adhered Card inside and Card Cover together. Attach strips of cardstock and patterned paper along the top and bottom of the Card. Die-cut seven Hearts from patterned paper and cardstock, embellish with glitter and set aside. Apply double-sided tape to onto the cream-colored Circle Label pop-up. Attach the monofilament thread to the tape layering the separate Circle Label on top, covering the wire. Adhere two small Hearts in the center of the opening back-to-back. Stamp a sentiment onto cardstock, trim to size and attach along one end of the Card. Attach three Hearts to the pop-up as shown, using craft wire to give shapes dimension. Attach two Hearts to the bottom of the Card. Finish by embellishing the Card front as desired.
