Crafty Creations Fueled by Coffee- Christine Burillo-Kirch
Today I have an interactive card that was supposed to be a nod toward fall, but turned out to be more a nod toward winter. I used the Penny Black Snuggles and Cuppa stamp sets paired with Lawn Fawn’s Magic Picture Changer die.
First I ink blended Distress Oxide ink in speckled egg over some Neenah 110lb cardstock in solar white using a stencil from The Greetery (Knit Wits). Once completely dry, I die cut it with Lawn Fawn’s Magic Picture Changer Add-on die. I then copic colored it all over with BG00 (I should have done it before I ink blended, but sometimes I don’t know where I’m going with a card color-wise). I die cut some Lawn Fawn speckled paper cardstock and navy cardstock with stitched rectangle die I had in my stash. The pull tab was also cut from the same navy cardstock.
To create the changing scene, I stamped all the images from the Penny Black Snuggles and Cuppa stamp sets onto to Neenah 110lb cardstock in solar white with Memento tuxedo black ink. Before coloring, I die cut all the images with Lawn Fawn’s Magic Picture Changer die. I always stamp my images before die cutting with dies because it comes out much cleaner (at least for me!). Lawn Fawn has a great video on how to put the interactive card together.
Finally, I copic colored all the images and decided to use muted tones with a pop of red. The bear was colored with W0, the hedgehog with Light & Dark Crumb Cake markers (Stampin’ Up), the coffee mugs with R46 & R35.
The assembly took the longest time, but the video from Lawn Fawn makes it quite easy. Two tips I have for you is to use a powder tool on the sliding components of the magic picture changer and to use the mechanism several times before you give your card to someone. Doing both of these things will ensure that the paper will slide more easily.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a crafty and caffeine-filled day!
The current challenge is to make something “see” through!
Here is what I made for the challenge:
