Hello my crafty friends. My name is Shannon and I’m so happy to be here with you on the TLC Designs blog. I hope you’re able to spend time in your happy place today.
Today’s card is made with images from the Gnome Celebrations stamp set and the See You In The Center die set, both from TLC Designs.
I started by stamping the images with an ink that is compatible with alcohol markers since I will be coloring with my Ohuhu markers, onto smooth white cardstock.
After coloring the images, I sent them through my Brother Scan N Cut to cut them with a 1mm white border around them.
From the See You In The Center die set, I cut all of the components I needed to create this interactive card. I had to stack several of the die cuts to create thicker components so they would withstand the moving back and forth.
After I cut two white pieces with the largest of the nesting dies, I cut a piece of mint green 80# cardstock with the same die.
I then cut what would be my card front with the 2nd largest die out of white cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Celebrated Times slimline designer paper pack. I glued the patterned paper on top of the white cardstock. I used the smaller of the two slider components to cut from the card front. After that, I used the tiny hole punch die to cut where the die leaves an embossed circle.
This interactive card requires seven mini brads to hold together all of the components. This allows the movement when you move the dial back and forth. I assembled the card according to the instructions on the back of the die set.
That’s it. A very easy and inexpensive interactive card.
I hope this inspires you to create an interactive card of your own with products by TLC Designs. The Gnome Celebration stamp set and the See You In The Center die set are both on sale for $13.99 each, at the time of this blog post.
