Why I Can't Make Nice Pop Up Cards

The Hambo Hoedown challenge this week is to use a technique from Splitcoast Stampers.  I attempted to make a pull-tab pop-up card.  And then I attempted it again, and again, and again.  By the time that I had to start over a forth time, I was screaming at my cardstock.  In anger, I took my green decorated pop up flap, ripped it off the pull tab, and just glued it down on yellow cardstock.  Then I pasted the sentiment (which should have shown on the pull-tab) on the inside.  So now I need a new card for the hoedown because the challenge isn't "cards that started out using Splitcoast Stamper techniques, but then the card maker got frustrated and angry and just made a regular card."  Thankfully there's lots of summer link-ups that this card is perfect for.  And it turned out cute even if it's just a regular card.

    LOL! I'm sorry it didn't work out, but the way you tell the story is rather funny! :-) Your card DID, however, turn out very cute!
