Troll hugs are the Best hugs!

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness here today to share another fun and creative TLC Designs project with all of you! Read to the end for a special surprise!

I am sharing a fun interactive card I made using the See You in the Center dies and the fun trolls from Troll Cricket Fun!

I started by copic-coloring two of the trolls from Troll Cricket Fun stamp set and fussy cut them out before setting them aside to work on my card base.

I used the See You in the Center Dies to create not only an interactive card, but a shaped card too!  I die cut through a folded Kraft A2 card base with the largest die in the set, allowing a partial cut on the top so the card still stayed together and did not cut into 2 pieces.  Then I die cut a piece of plaid paper from the Sweet as Cake digital paper pack for my background.  To create a ground for the trolls to run on, I chose to ink blend a piece of cardstock with green ink and then used the Land and Sea dies to cut a hilly slope.  I layered both the plaid and the ground together and used the 2nd largest shape to die cut through.  This allowed the panel to nest perfectly on top of my card base!  

I followed the excellent instructions included with the See You in the Center dies and created the interactive element, hiding the center brad with a mushroom from the same Troll Cricket Fun stamp set. The trolls are able to move towards each other to hug!

My final touch was a sentiment that.....SURPRISE!!!  The sentiment is a SNEAK PEEK of a brand new stamp set coming to TLC Designs this coming Thursday on July 15th, 2021!  TLC Designs is celebrating a new release with a fun blog hop, so be sure to swing back by here on Thursday for all the details and the BIG reveal!
