World Spectacular Pop Up Bday Card

Another version of the Pop Up card (for my Stamp-a-Stack).   The new Designer Series Paper, World Spectacular works nicely as "wrapping paper".     Although I think the Blossom Triple layer punch makes a better "bow" for the top of the presents, I used the Boho Blossoms punch as it is a current product.   Enjoy!
