I am soooo thrilled to be the feature for this challenge - "I Like to Move it, Move it".  I am such a fan of interactive cards, so this is a delight for me.  I had soooo much fun creating this card and I am soooo excited for how it turned out.  

First of all, I stamped all of the images on copic friendly paper with Memento black ink and colored with my copic markers listed below.  Some images were dies so I cut them with copic friendly paper and then colored with copic markers. 

I cut two 4 1/4 x 4 1/4" pieces of heavy white cardstock and scored each piece at 1".  Do NOT adhere together yet as you need to place the acetate pieces in between.

  

Let's decorate the front of the card first.  I matted a piece of pattern paper onto a piece of purple cardstock allowing for an 1/8" border around all sides.  This is then adhered to one of the white cardstock pieces. The 1" fold should be towards the back at the bottom.  I started by using the front layer (balloons) of the #4980 Birthday Circlet MTF.  I die cut this layer with the coordinating die and then cut the whole circle with one of the #5726 Nested Circle dies.  I used the koala sitting in the teacup from the #5349 Koala set and cut him off of the teacup so that I could place him on the stack of presents from #5954 Woodland Bears set.  I only used the bottom three presents of that stamp so that it fit nicely in the circlet.  I popped the circlet onto foam dots and placed onto a stitched circle die cut from purple cardstock.  I then glued the bottom two presents behind the balloons and popped up the top present as well as the koala so that they sat on top of the circlet.  I colored several confetti pieces from the #5407 Birthday Cake GCH and adhered them to the front of the card.  I saved several colored pieces for the inside of the card.  

Now, for the inside of the card.  I cut several strips of acetate, about 1/2" x 3" for each item.  I arranged the images how I wanted them to pop up over the front flap of the card.  I glued each to the top of a piece of acetate making sure there is enough acetate at the bottom to glue between the 1" folds.  Once the images are glued to a piece of acetate, I then glued the bottom of the acetate to the back of the front flap fold.  When all of the acetate pieces are glued down, I took the back flap and glued the two fold pieces together, making sure the acetate pieces are glued in firmly.  I then finished decorating the inside of the card with pattern paper and purple cardstock over the exposed white cardstock.  Lastly, I added the final pieces of confetti to decorate.  

Below is a video of how the card wobbles.

I hope you enjoyed my feature card and that it has inspired you to enter our bi-weekly challenge for a chance to win a free stamp set. We love to see what you create!

Have a great day and happy creating!

I stamped these images onto copic friendly paper and colored with my copic markers listed below.  I used #5873 Mini Birthday PP to paper piece the shirts on these cute ladies.  This just adds a cute pattern to their outfits.  I made a basic A2 top folding card and adhered it to a 5 1/2" x 8" (scored and folded at 6") base to create a fun standing card.  I fussy cut and popped up the donut stack on the bottom right of the card to add more fun donuts.

Happy Birthday Treats! by Janet

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you visited the blog to learn all about the latest challenge, All That Glitters. I was the featured artist and I shared how I made a fancy fold card that had a middle panel pop-out. Today I'm showing a slightly different version of that card style. I don't have a name for it but I feel like it could be called an Inside Out Pop-Out Panel fold. This is because the middle cake panel is the front when closed and also the main image when it's opened. To close the card, the two side flaps slip under the middle panel of cake. This one also lays flat for mailing. The set I have used for this card is 5255 Birthday Cake Set. There are so many fun cakes in this set. I used five of the nine images on this card, two outside and three inside. 

When displayed, this card looks like an M from the top as you can see here.

The inside panel which is also the outside panel when closed, was cut with a 5063 Rectangle Double Stitched Die. I layered a piece of purple polka dot paper on top cut with a 5724 Nested Rectangle Dies and then the big cake and cupcake on top of that. All the papers except for the main card base are from the 5873 Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack. 

To refresh your memory, this is the card I featured this week for the challenge. Here's a link to that post with complete instructions: All That Glitters Challenge. I used glitter glue on the cakes for my card today so it works for the challenge. If you use any kind of glitter product on a project, you can participate in the challenge. Just upload it with the link above for the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope my card gives you some ideas of your own. Please visit the store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Have a great Saturday!
