Happy Saturday and the start to the ever popular Memorial Day Holiday weekend here in the U.S.A.! This is the official start to summer and to celebrate, my project features the new Hen House Critter Cubbies set. I added a twist to this by making the hen house into a pop-up feature when the card is opened.
The freebie stamps this year have a definite farm vibe and I used three of them on the front of this card. They are perfect to give a hint of what will be found inside. Aren't they adorable?
If you'd like to see how I made this card, check out the video tutorial below. I'll show you how to create the pop-up mechanism using a paper cutter and a few simple measurements. You won't believe how easy it is to create this look which could be done with many of the "house" style Critter Cubbies sets.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend!
Hi everyone! Today I have another interactive card for you. This one features the Frog Set #5283.
There are several images in this set along with some ribbitting sentiments! On this card I chose to use, "Hoppy Birthday" on the front and, "Sorry, I Toadally Frogot" on the inside. There are many great sentiments to choose from to go with the adorable frog images.
I chose the frog that is chillin' out on the mushroom. To me he looks like he's really enjoying the sun on his belly. The little frog is also enjoying a rest too but he prefers a little shade!
These were easy images to color with my Copics. I cut and applied a mask to the frog images so I could use Oxide inks to put in the colorful sky. I used a heart enamel dot along with some orange gems to decorate the front as well.
This card is a fun interactive style. What I like best is that it's almost perfectly flat when shut so it mails easily. When it's opened, the center circle pops up and tucks behind the sentiment. It works similar to an easel card except that it pops up on its own thanks to the mechanism inside.
If you would like to make this card, I've got a full tutorial on my channel. Just click on the thumbnail below.
