Hokay folks! Second post and video from me today - I had to detour and share my SSS Card Kit unboxing as it JUST arrived:
Simon Says Stamp August 2019 Card Kit Unboxing! | Party Like a Panda Card Kit
And then got this video edited and uploaded! I made an interactive card (yay me lol) which I don't do very often - this one turned out so cute and once I got it all figured out in my head it will be SO easy to make more like this:
When making a pop-up card like this the bonus to it is that when it's folded flat it easily fits into an A2 envelope and isn't any more bulky (in fact it's usually less bulky as there's no foam dimension etc) than a regular card. You CAN do this in different orientations and different sizes you just need to fiddle a bit - but again once you've done it once it comes to gather a LOT easily and making adjustments doesn't seem as daunting (to me anyway! It's why I usually avoid interactive cards).
So to make this a pop-up wiper card I used MFT's Pop-Up Wiper Die-namics. You can easily make the mechanism without a wafer die but one - I like the convenience and two - there is a long (8.5") grass wafer die and long wave die in the set that I REALLY like. I used the wave one for this card obviously but it would be so cute to make a scene with the grass one and have critters or butterflies or something popping up!
I inked up the Birdie Brown Friends with Fins stamp set and coloured them all in with Copic markers. After highlighting them with my favorite white gel pen I die cut them with the coordinating Die-namics set. I also used one of the little wave dies in that set to die cut the wave for the narwhal to be popping out of.
I used MFT's Mini Cloud Edges stencil for the background. For the wave portion and for the stencilling of the background I used the new Hero Arts Reactive inks in Splash, Blue Hawaii and Sea Salt.
I finished the "inside" AKA the back of the card since there is no inside with this kind by adhering the remaining Friends with Fins images and stamping another sentiment from the set and that was it!
