A Flip, Flap Card and A Video Experiment

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

I had to check my watch to see if I had the right day today. I got home Friday from a fourteen day trip to Ireland and I am still acclimating to this time zone. I am waking up early, which helps me to get things done, but I still trying to figure out the days of the week. I won't post about my trip today but will be doing a post sometime this week. Still processing it all.

Today I am popping in with a card I created as an experiment. I have been watching YouTube videos on interactive cards the last couple days and I wanted to give it a try. My first creation is a Flip Flap card and I even created a little video to show you the card in action at the end of all my photos.

I am not going to give you a step by step as I am NOT an expert. I still haven't even stamped a "pull" instruction on my little tag but was so excited that it worked that I had to post!!

Anyway, this is the outside of my card. I actually started off the whole thing with the martini die cut. I had it all put together in my stash and I wanted to use it on a card.

I think my favorite part of the front is that I used some Glossy Accents to mimic the alcohol in the glass!! I could change the color to make it a different drink next time. Perhaps a Lemon Drop????

When you pull the little tag on the side, the front opens up to a snarky sentiment.

I used a sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Shenanigans" stamp set on the inside. I am the oldest of all my friends so this will be sent to someone this summer!!

Okay, I am attempting to input the video below. PLEASE let me know if you can view this!!

I want to start doing videos and this was an easy way to see if I could do it. Not professional by any means but it is a start!! I will also admit that the green is more accurate in the photos rather than the video. Sorry about that.

I am entering this into Just Us Girls Challenge #495 which is a "smile" word challenge. I think this card would make someone smile, don't you? I will also be entering this into Seize the Birthday, with no topping.

Please let me know what you think!! I thank you for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

A Graduation Card with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you all are having a FABULOUS weekend!!

Today it is my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. I created a card mixing up the new "Celebrate" stamp set with "Shenanigans" and "Rad 2."

I am kind of obsessed with mixing sentiment sets as of late. Since I will be actually giving this card away, I used a series of blues with accents of silver since the colors of the school are blue and white.

First I used "Rad 2" and stamped the first line in blue ink. I then die cut some silver stars using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies," measuring their size to leave a space to stamp the "Celebrate" sentiment in light blue. I then covered the light blue sentiment with sparkle pen.

I adhered the silver stars in a line underneath the "congrats" and the "celebrate" sentiments. I then adhered the panel to an A2 card front covered in some patterned paper.

To complete the card, I added a sentiment strip that I had stamped using the "Shenanigans" stamp set. I used foam adhesive to pop it up from the card front.

It's Michele's FIFTIETH Birthday!!!

Hello everyone!! Today I am posting a card for Michele-the owner of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-50th Birthday Blog Hop Celebration. You should have come here from Angel Rivera's Blog. If you get lost along the way, go to  the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for the entire list of blogs for the hop!!!

I chose to make a card combining "WTF 2" and "Supercalifragilistic" stamp sets.

I made the type into a cake. I created it so that the red words are to be read together and the white sentiment strips that are read together. You can see this done in typographic posters.

I mounted the sentiments over an A2 sized card that I had adhered a panel where I had done ink smooshing on it in red, pink and flicked with gold.

I added gold hearts that I had die cut with "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies."

On the inside, I used the "Shenanigans" stamp set.

Be sure to comment on everyone's blog. There will be FOUR $50 gift codes randomly drawn from the comments on the blog hop participants blogs. Next up is Mary Moisan.

Happy 50th Birthday Michele!! I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!!

Happy 5th Birthday CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!!

Hello everyone!! I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend!!

This month the Ink Squad had been celebrating CAS-ual Fridays Stamps 5th Birthday by creating projects with some of their Birthday Stamps, which are 20% off until the end of October.

Since it was my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog, I chose to create a card using my FAVORITE stamp set of all time, "Shenanigans."

I really wanted to use these stamps with some patterned paper scraps and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies." I created a little cake and topped it with some straw candles.

I also used the Fun-Fetti dies for the candle flame and topped them with some orange glitter glue.

I added some sparkle and Glossy Accents on the heart border as well to give the card a little shine.

This card was so fun to put together and could be made in bulk to have in your stash. I think I might stagger the "cake" layers a bit more then I did but I do like how it came out.

I hope you have a great day!!! Toodles!

Birthday Inspiration with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Hello everybody. Happy Saturday!! Oh boy do I love the weekend!

Today it is my turn for inspiration on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog. This month CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog is going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is also CAS-ual Fridays birthday. In honor of this birthday, I created a birthday card.

I started off this card by using the largest die from the "Tag Buddies" Fri-dies to die cut a white tag. I then misted the tag with green and pink mist spray. I stamped borders from "Holly Jolly Borders" in black and colored them in with Copic Markers. After the borders were dry, I adhered them to the tag.

I then used foam adhesive to adhere black strips on the tag that I had stamped with CAS-ual Fridays "Shenanigans" set and embossed in white.

I set this aside decided to try to ink blend on a piece of colored card stock with two different pink Distress Inks. It was not as easy to do as on a piece of white Bristol but it was kind of fun to try.

I used foam behind the tag when I adhered it to the card. I then sprinkled silver stars that I had cut with the "Fun-Fetti" Fri-dies. My last step was to adhere sequins in pink around the stars, adding some Stickles over the top.

Well that is all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by and remember to use my code for some shopping fun at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store. Have a wonderful day!!
