Before we see what our fabulous Featured Artist Lynn created to inspire you, let's see who won our last challenge, I Like to Move It, Move It.
Now let's check out this INCREDIBLE masculine card and video tutorial from Lynn.
Today we will create this fun masculine interactive swivel surprise card! This card was inspired by the current Art Impressions "Milestone Birthday" Blog Challenge, and I'm honored to be the featured artist for this fun and fabulous challenge!
Watch video tutorial here!!!
For the focal images on this card, we will be using the Ai Reel Great Guys Set (4900). This set will give us plenty of fun stamps to create the fishermen for the outside of the card and several cute coordinating images for our interactive feature on the inside of the card!
Let's begin by stamping and coloring all of the images that we will be using today. All of today's coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Lt Pink, Geranium Red, Bright Yellow, Aquamarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Blue Gray, Lt Gray, Ochre, Beige, Mid Brown, Gray, Ever Green.
Next, we can use our detail scissors to fussy cut out all of the images leaving a little white border around the edges.
To create the standard size card base we will use some Kraft cardstock and then we will die-cut the panels needed to decorate the front and inside of the card. For patterned paper we will use the brand-new Ai Basic Teal Paper Pack (6011). Select the patterns you like best.... there are so many wonderful choices in this paper pad. We will die cut these papers using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). We can go ahead and attach these to the card.
Now we can add a sentiment from this same set on the front panel and stamp another sentiment from the Kraft cardstock and die-cut it with a banner die.
Let's also die cut the "Milestone" numbers from the brand-new Ai Large Numbers Die Set (5911) and add them to this unique and personalized birthday card!
We can add the fisherman by popping them up with a bit of 3D Foam Tape. And now, for the fun part, we will die-cut and assemble the Swivel Surprise interactive elements for the inside of the card. To do this, we will be using the Lawn Fawn Swivel Surprise Die Set. This is really fun and easy to create. It actually looks way more complicated than it actually is to do. I will show you exactly how to do this in today's video!
Now let's add the jumping fish, the floating puppy, the banner sentiment, and the bucket of fish!
When we open up the card, we will see all of our images in motion! This card is just so much fun and can be used with so many of your favorite stamp sets!!!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
