Make it Move Baby!

One of my favourite kinds of cards is a card that has some kind of interaction!  You know… something that moves.

So my challenge for you today is to create a card, any theme will do, that has some kind of moving parts on it.

To show you my interactive card, I have created a simple “slider card”.  Here’s the supplies you’ll need for my card:

• myStamp BOX “Ho Ho Ho” stamp set
• green cardstock; 4 1/4 x 5 3/8
• striped paper; 3 x 5
• scalloped rectangle; approx. 4 1/4 x 2
• plain rectangle; 4 x 1 3/4
• black ink
• Liquid Applique
• gold glitter or Stickle
• foam adhesive
• 2 pennies
• something to colour in your image; ie: Copics, markers, ect.

Here’s how I made my slider card:

1. Stamp, colour and cut out your Santa shape from the “Ho Ho Ho” stamp set.

2. Add Liquid Appliqué to Santa’s beard and mustache. Let dry & apply heat to get the 3D effect of a snowy beard.

3. Punch a 3/4 inch window about 3 inches long down the length of your scalloped rectangle die cut.  Trace the window shape onto your plain rectangle for your greeting to go.

4.  Using the pencil guidelines, stamp the “HoHoHo” greeting on the plain white cardstock.  Erase your guidelines.

5. Ink edges of your green cardstock and striped patterned paper using black ink.

6. Adhere your green cardstock and striped patterned paper to your card base.

7. Adhere your stamped greeting to the center of your card base over your striped paper.

8. Add one penny to the back of your Santa using a large glue dot.

9. Cut your square of foam adhesive into a circle. Add to the center of the penny on Santa’s back. Leave the adhesive backing on.

10. Flip over your scalloped rectangle with the window and then slip your Santa underneath and have the foam adhesive on Santa’s back appear in the hole of the scalloped rectangle. Add the penny to the foam adhesive on Santa’s back.

11. Apply lines of foam adhesive to the back of the scalloped rectangle down the entire length of the rectangle.

12. Remove adhesive backing and add the scalloped rectangle over top of the HoHoHo greeting; make sure you can see your stamped greeting through the hole.

13. Add a piece of mini black bling to Santa’s button and apply gold Stickles to his belt buckle.

Voila!!!

Now you have a cute little Santa that cartwheels across your card!

I hope that you will join me in my challenge this week!  Thanks!
