Interactive cards times 2! (+ video!)

QR codes are everywhere these days! And now you can stamp your own for a fun interactive card. Just watch the video to see how it works!

Here’s a better look at the front of the card with the handstamped QR code:

Find out how to make this card plus complete materials and instructions.

And here’s the QR code on the back! I tried scanning this photo right here on the screen and it actually worked if you’d like to see for yourself

And, you can even make your own QR codes! Makes it perfect when you’re giving a gift card, like this pocket card with a gift certificate to one of my favorite cupcake shops, Cupprimo! (It’s dangerously close by, ha ha!)

Find out how to make this card plus complete materials and instructions.

Having a QR code on here makes it super easy for the recipient to look up Cupprimo’s menu, hours and location. Here’s some other ideas for QR codes: link to a family video in your Project Life pages (I heard about this one from Libby!), link to your facebook page or instagram feed to connect with friends and stay in touch, or link to an online photo album — the sky’s the limit!

I use this QR code generator and this reader on my iPhone. Both are free! (You can search on google for other generators and readers.)

Hope this gives you some fun ideas for an interactive card for this month’s challenge! And! I have it on good authority that pocket cards are interactive too, so this post actually has two ideas in one.

Do you have any fun ideas for QR codes? Have you seen any clever uses for them? I’d love to hear!

   Love this! Super cool how it’s interactive! And you know that I noticed how the ruby color said Hero Arts but when I clicked it, it said it’s by Memories! New colors on it’s way?

   Amazing! I’m a bit out of touch as I don’t have one of these phones! A great idea though!
