A Super Fun Interactive Card With Mimi!

July 18, 2023July 17, 2023 Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hi friends! Today Mimi is back to share a cool interactive encouragement card with us! Her card features the latest Dream Big stamp set and coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

This card is so clever! As you pull on the tab, the panoramic view of the runway changes to the sky, mimicking the airplane taking off!

Mimi first die cut two large frames using the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays. To prepare for the interactive element, she further die cut the them using the pull tab notch die from Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab die.

She stamped and die cut the large cockpit image from Dream Big, while masking the clouds and also trimming them off afterwards.

On one of the large cut panels, she cut an opening to fit the front window of the plane. She adhered the die cut Dream Big image to the panel and glued a piece of acetate behind it.

Then on a separate cardstock, she created a runway and sky scene, using the clouds from the Dream Big image. She then created and attached the pull tab mechanism, and adhered the second frame panel as the backing.

Check out this YouTube Shorts to see this interactive card in action! I hope you enjoy this inspiration!

Thank you so much Mimi! Your card is so awesome!

Welcome back Crafty Friends! This is our first blog post of 2023 and we wish you a healthy and prosperous year ahead!

Today Mimi is back to share with us a super cute classroom setting Thank You card!

I’m loving all the bright and vibrant colors! To set the scene, she used the Classroom Scene Builder die set. She ink blended the back wall with Distress Oxide Broken China and the wood floor with Gathered Twigs.

This Classroom Scene Builder die set has all the elements you need to create a detailed and adorable classroom setting! I love the Copic coloring she did on the die-cut pieces.

She combined a few characters from The Sweetest Truck and Rabbit Café. She also used the crayons and other accessories like pencils, apple, and a little note from We Are Right For Each Other and Penguin Agenda. I love that she added the rainbow decorations on the wall too, super cute!

The hand-drawn heart on the easel is a nice touch as well! To finish off her card, she added a sweet sentiment from Inseparable.

Thank you so much Mimi, your card is amazing!

Hi and welcome back! Today we have another inspiration by Mimi to share with you!

I just love the idea of this floral decorated chalk board like frame to set the stage for the heartwarming sentiment!

She stamped out the floral image from the So Blessed stamp set 4 times, colored with Copic markers and die cut them using the Coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.
