Birthday Wobble Card ~ Loads and Loads ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a quick and fun wobble card using the adorable new release from Unity Stamp Co. called Loads and Loads!! This new release is actually the freebie this week along with a free Itty Bitty stamp AND a $10 coupon when you spend $75+... so much fun!! Don't forget to check out all the amazing new releases and it's the big Birthday Sale too so now is the time to get those stamps on your wishlist! Woohoo!

This card design is definitely a simple go-to design for those quick cards you need in a rush! And it's extra special when you add that interactive wobble action piece... a super easy extra step for this card.

The Doodlebug Design Simply Spring papers are cut down to 4 x 6" and then to get the background piece and that little strip I just cut off 3/4". That gave me a 4 x 5-1/4" and 4 x 3/4" pieces. A super easy way to get a background piece for any card!

The little washer is stamped with black amalgam ink and die cut with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die from My Favorite Things. I stamped it again on a scrap of white card stock. I used the following Copic markers for this card ~ C00, C2, Colorless Blender, RV10, RV21, B0000, B00, YR15, YR21

You can check out my process video to see how I colored up this cutie super quick and assembled this quick and easy card. Check it out right here... Birthday Wobble Card | Loads and Loads.

Polka Dot Orchard ~ Let's Get Basted!!

Hey there crafty friends!
Today I have a cute interactive card using a new release from Polka Dot Orchard called Let's Get Basted... lol! That name cracks me up... I love puns! And I'm loving this adorable turkey with his little pilgrim hat! Oh my cuteness!

I combined and resized my digi stamps in a Word document and then decided to print off another one because I wanted to make this cute guy wobble!!

I colored this cutie with the following copic markers:

Turkey ~ Y06, Y11, YR15, YR21, R14, R24, E23, E25, E27
Hat ~ N1, N3, N5, N7, E23, E25, E27, Y06, YR15
Baster ~ N1, N3, N5, E55, E57

Once I had him all colored in, I fussy cut him out and cleaned up the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. I die cut the other turkey and sentiment with a large stitched rectangle die and adhered that to a die cut scalloped rectangle of pretty paper called Sweater Weather by LDRS Creative. I cut another piece of paper to adhere to a white card base. I then adhered the scalloped layer to the card. To finish off the card, I added the wobbler mechanism to the turkey and then adhered it to the card. Such a cute and fun card! I love how it turned out!

Here's a super quick little video showing the wobble this sweet turkey does!! Love it!

Polka Dot Orchard is having a fun 13 Days of Thanks Instagram Challenge. To enter you just need to post a new creation to Instagram using the hashtag #GiveThanksPDO1119 and say something you are thankful for in your write up. Easy Peasy! I hope you'll play along!!

Growing in Unity ~ Day 2 of My 5 Favorite Things

Hello there crafty friends!

I am back for Day 2 of My 5 Favorite Things for my Growing in Unity week and I am so excited to share the cards I created for you today! Now, be warned... there's a lot of pictures and even a super short video for this one... so please hang in there and I'll try to keep the chatter short.

So, another one of my favorite things is interactive cards... and Unity Stamp Company has so many fabulous stamps to make interactive cards with... it's awesome! I don't make many of these because, let's be honest, they are a lot of work and take some time and most of the time I just need a quick card. But interactive cards are really so much fun! So I just had to share a few today!

Since it's July, I thought a Christmas in July card would be fun!! I just adore this door die by Lawn Fawn called Shut the Front Door... it makes for a cute interactive card and there are so many possibilities!! Think of all the cute critter stamps from Unity that would just be awesome behind that door! I created the front of my card using die cuts and I also stamped the tree from Woodland Festivities using Gina K. Designs Key Lime and Fresh Asparagus inks. 

I adhered all of my layers to a kraft card base and then stamped the Winter Boy from the Winter Boy and Girl kit and the bulldog from the Woodland Festivities kit with Gina K. Designs Black Amalgam ink and colored them with the following Copic markers:

Winter Boy ~ E000, E00, E21 (skin), E42, E43, Y21 (hair), R11, R56, R59, R89 (hat/scarf), B95, B97, B99 (jeans), G19, G29 (shirt), N1, N4, N7 (belt/shoes).

Bulldog ~ E000, E11, E97, E9, R20 (fur), R14, R27, N0, N1 (hat), N1, N2, N4, N7 (collar).

I then fussy cut them and adhered them inside the door... tucking the bulldog in just slightly under the door frame.

All that remained was finding a sentiment that would fit... and I thought the 'Happy Christmas with Love' sentiment was perfect! This sentiment is from the Classic Christmas kit. I just love how this Christmas card turned out... and another card done for my Christmas card stash!! Woohoo!

My second interactive card uses the adorable bunny from the Hoppy & Hedgie kit along with a cool interactive die from Lawn Fawn called Slide On Over Semicircle. I just love this adorable bunny!! I started by blending my galaxy cloud background using the Mini Cloud Edges stencil by My Favorite Things. I couldn't help but splatter some water even though there wouldn't be stars in the clouds...lol... but I love the effect it gives. I then stamped the sweet bunny with Gina K.'s Black Amalgam ink and colored it with the following Copic markers:

Bunny ~ W0, W2, W4, R20

Bunny's Clothes ~ BG70, BG72

Balloons ~ Y13, Y35, RV32, RV34, G05, G12

I then fussy cut the bunny and balloons very carefully and used it to decide where to die cut the Slide On Over Semicircle. Once I had that figured out... I die cut the background with the interactive slider piece as well as a large stitched rectangle die. I popped up the galaxy cloud background using foam tape... being sure to leave room for the interactive piece behind the bunny to move back and forth. I, unfortunately, didn't take a picture of this process but all I did to attach the bunny was I punched out 3 small 3/4" circles and adhered them all together. I then used a mini stampin' dimensional and attached the little circle to the bunny through the slider... that easy! I then adhered the negative die cut piece to my scalloped rectangle of Lost Lagoon card stock and then adhered the popped up galaxy cloud background. I hope this all makes sense!

Here's a look at the bunny as the 'wind' pulls him across the card. The 'pull' stamp is from the new Interactive Verbiage kit... such a fun kit!

And here he is at the end of his ride. 

To finish off the card, I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment. I mat it on True Black card stock and then adhered it to the card and then I adhered the entire panel to a True Black card base.

Here's a short little video to show you the interactive slider in action. So much fun!

And here is my last interactive card to share with you all today... a shaker card using the new and fabulous Interactive Verbiage kit along with the equally fabulous #letterforhenry kit!! Other than the shaker element for this card... since I used patterned papers for my layers... this card was relatively quick to put together. Just how I like it!!

I paper pieced the frame and adhered it to a piece of white card stock so it would be a little more sturdy. I also stamped the frame on the lined patterned paper so I could easily line up the frame and also so I could easily stamp the sentiment for the card. I just love the 'Kindness Changes Everything' sentiment... it is so true! 

Now... a little funny... so me and shaker cards have a love hate relationship... always, seriously every single time I try to make one of these something goes wrong. I was doing great with this one though... even getting excited it was going so smoothly until I realized I forgot to adhere the clear card stock. I actually forgot about the clear card stock (or acetate) completely... lol... so I had to pull off the foam tape I used. Luckily, since I had paper pieced the frame on that extra piece of white card stock, it didn't tear into the pretty paper and I was able to use it. Anyhow... I thought I'd share that funny mishap... every time, I tell you!

If you have made it this far in my post, Thank You!! I tried to keep the chatter down... but I truly thank you for sticking around and checking out my blog today! I had a blast creating these cards to share with you all! I hope you like them!
