My card today features the fun Mooove It Mini Shaker Set. I totally love interactive cards, and who could resist a wiggling hiney on a cow? LOL! I stamped the front cow an extra time and popped it up from the image, and then the back half of her is a separate stamp that goes on a Mini Action Wobble! They are stamped onto Cryogen White cardstock and colored with Copic markers that I've listed below.
That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
You're probably singing the song now, aren't you? There's just something about dancing cows... I coloured them up with my Copic markers, and you'll notice that the hind quarters on the front cow also come as a separate stamp. After colouring his derriere, I used the die cut included in the set to cut it out, and used a Mini Action Wobble to pop it up - giving him a wonderful shimmy when you flick it! You can see where the Wobble is a bit better here:
There are three cute sentiments in the set, so I cut one of them out in a pennant shape, and added the little milk carton on pop dots as well. I made a second card with a few paper changes, a different sentiment, and some zigzag stitching:

Hello Ai friends! I am sharing today how I made this Partial Die-Cut Z-Fold Card with the new Wheelie Mini Shaker (4794) stamp set.
The upper body and left leg on this guy are die cut and layered on a Mini Action Wobble. I know if I were on that skateboard, I would be super wobbly! Lol. The word "zoom" and the stars are dies which are also included in the set!
Here you can see the part of the image that wobbles...
With careful placement of the die, he hangs out over the fold.
To create my Partial Die-Cut Z-Fold Card, I started with a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock and scored it at the 4 1/4" mark. Then I used a pencil to mark the top and bottom of the card front (to the left of the fold) at 2 1/8".
Next I positioned the die for his body so the left side of it, including his leg, was to the left of my pencil marks. It is held in place with low-tack tape. Then I placed the top plate so the edge of the plate was in line with my pencil marks. (By doing so, the die will only cut the area underneath the top plate. Now run it through the machine.
The die cut area will be cut as shown below. I then scored at the 2 1/8" mark, above and below the cut.
Mountain and Valley fold your card and the base will look like this.
Add layers, your image with the Action Wobble, and embellish as desired.
Now it’s your turn to make a card and join us in the “Shake A Little” Challenge!
Happy stamping!
Thanks, Diane! This card is just perfect for that special guy's birthday!
