Interactive Book Worm

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, and today I’m sharing a fun interactive shutter card featuring the Time For Tea Designs Book Buddies stamp set and coordinating dies. This adorable card would be great for a book lover in your life.

To create this card, I used the Shutter Card die and Shutter Card Add-On die along with some double-sided Lawn Fawn patterned paper. I also followed a few of their YouTube tutorials, which made putting the interactive element together much easier.

I stamped several images from the Book Buddies stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and die cut them using the coordinating dies. To add a little extra detail and interest, I finished the images with white gel pen accents. I then used liquid glue to attach all the stamped images and sentiment to the card.

For the band around the front of the card, I used patterned paper from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad. I used the same patterned paper from the card base for the circle element and ink-blended it with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. The large heart was die-cut from white cardstock and ink-blended with Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, while the smaller heart frame was also die-cut from white cardstock. Once everything was finished, I adhered all the elements together with liquid glue.

Interactive Birthday Card

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a fun interactive card featuring the I Really Dig You Printed Cardstock and coordinating dies from Time For Tea Designs. I love the way the mole pops out from his hole! 

For the background, I used papers from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad. I die-cut the patterned paper using the Peekaboo Pop-Up interactive die from Lawn Fawn, then ink-blended the edges with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink to add contrast and depth.

For the foreground, I blended Mowed Lawn Distress Ink onto light green cardstock and added a bit of splatter with the same ink for extra texture and interest. I used the outermost tab for the interactive element and adhered it inside the card in the appropriate position. If you’re new to this die, Lawn Fawn has several helpful video tutorials on YouTube that walk through the process.

The images are from the I Really Dig You Printed Cardstock, which I die-cut using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the interactive panel with liquid glue to bring the scene to life. To finish the card, I added three purple die-cut hearts and accented them with a white gel pen for a sweet final touch.

Thinking of You

Happy Friday from DT Annalisa! I'm excited to share a mini card featuring the adorable Rain or Shine Mice along with the Thinking of You Sentiment Die.

To create the back panel for this card, I die-cut patterned paper from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered this to a card base using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut watercolour paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies and created a watery-looking background using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and water. I then attached this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die-cut paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad using the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die. I used vellum for the outlined portion of the sentiment and adhered the two pieces together with liquid glue before attaching them to the card base.

I stamped images from the Rain Or Shine Mice stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen. The bee is from the Fruitful Friends set, the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, and the small bird is from Ewe Are Moovellous.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the stamped elements to the card base. I finished the card with three Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots.

Plaid Easter Wishes

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! April has arrived, and Easter is just around the corner! I'm excited to share a spring Easter card featuring the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die and the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set.

To start, I trimmed a piece of the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad to fit an A6 card base and secured it using double-sided tape.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Sweet Scalloped Dies and A6 Simple Nesting Dies to create a thin scalloped frame. I attached this frame to the card base with liquid glue.

I then stamped several images from the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set, colored them using Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen.

For additional elements, I die-cut vellum using the Stitched Circle Dies and Cloud Dies, adhering them to the card base with vellum adhesive.

For added dimension, I used double-sided 1mm foam tape to attach the stamped images.

I applied Gina K Designs Dusty Rose ink to a piece of white cardstock, allowing it to dry before die-cutting it with the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die. I then added white gel pen accents for an extra touch.

For more dimension, I die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock twice and adhered the layers together using liquid glue. I attached the sentiment to the card with more liquid glue.

To finish off the card, I added Summer Haze Designer Enamel Dots.
