Once again, I'm playing along with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month's challenge is to include an interactive element in your project. I decided to make a card and a layout for the challenge...
First, the card:
I used PTI cardstock (rustic white, canyon clay), stamps (boy basics: game on, basic labels) and dies (tag sale #3, basic labels.) The patterned paper and label diecut (on the front of the card) are My Mind's Eye.
The interactive elements are the banners that lift to reveal...
And, finally...
And, here is the layout that I made:
I used American Crafts cardstock (12x12), PTI cardstock (soft stone, stamper's select white), stamps (tiny tags, tiny tags II), buttons, twine & dies (tag sale #5, half & half, tiny tags). The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye.
Some of the banners I diecut myself and others were MME diecuts...
For the title, I actually diecut it with my Half & Half die from the packaging from my My Mind's Eye product pack, thinking it was the perfect title. I trimmed down the edges slightly and then layered it over a piece of cardstock diecut from soft stone cardstock.
Then, when you lift the title, you reveal the journaling behind it:
Thanks for looking!
amazing! love how you have to life 2 banners! I'm definitely casing this at some point ;)

ReplyDeleteOh I love, love, love lifting two banners! It's like getting two cards in one. And that you sewed them on top with different stitches is fantastic! Also love the patterned paper for the smaller banners - very boy, which isn't that easy to do. You rocked this one!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your layout! Nice work!
