A ‘Poppit’ Card for my 7 Year old Great Niece

 One of my great nieces loves playing with 'Poppits', so do I actually!
I was pleased to find this image online to use for her card.

I embossed the card base with the dot folder and printed the poppit image
 onto white card. Using one of the smaller label dies, I die-cut it and the
 mat and layered it onto lilac card made with the larger die.

I attached this to the base card using 3D foam, and lastly added the stitched
 banner with the peel off sentiment, the number and her name.
