Hey there! Clare popping in today, with a pair of fun interactive birthday cards and a video.
So, I super duper love the Snarky Mix & Match Messages stamp set, but there's one problem - there's too many funny sentiments! I know, best kind of problem to have. ;) I found a solution though, where you can use as many as you want - an interactive slider card, that displays multiple sentiments.
You can watch the video below or in HD .
The first thing I did was stamp the bold birthday sentiment in black , and then die-cut a slot for the sentiments below, using the flag die from the Thank You Messages . By itself, the flag die isn't actually long enough for the sentiments, so I actually die cut it twice, side-by-side.
Then I die-cut one of the pretty Sunburst dies on the top and bottom of the sentiment, and die-cut the entire panel with a Rectangle Infinity die . I then die-cut a little tab opening in the bottom with a Circle Infinity die .
I then blended a background of Dandelion , Soft Apricot and Fresh Peach on Radiant White cardstock , heat set it, and stamped my selection of sentiments in black. After trimming down the panel (see how in video), I temporarily adhered the blended panel behind the die-cut panel with a piece of washi tape.
Then I added foam adhesive around the panel, leaving room on the top and the bottom for the panel to be able to slide up and down. I adhered the panel down to a kraft card base , and topped it off with some adorable flowers (from Flowers for Coloring ), stamped on Radiant White cardstock in black and die-cut .
If you wanted a more neutral, masculine card, just leave off the flowers, like I did with this sample.
For this card, I blended a background using Soft Pool , Pool and Deep Ocean .
For both cards, I also stamped a little triangle, from Happy Stamp & Cut , on the bottom of the tab, so the recipient would be clued into the interactive option. ;)
I love this way of adding a little more interest and interactivity to the cards, while also getting to use more of those hilarious little accompanying sentiments from Snarky Mix & Match Messages .
Thanks so much for stopping in and have a great day! God bless!
