Papertrey February 2012 Blog Hop



This month's Papertrey blog hop is all about interactive cards.  I was lucky enough to get my February order in time to break into my goodies and use them on a card.  I made a birthday card for my daughter's good friend, and used three interactive elements.

I used Its a Jungle stamp set and die to create my spinning creature.  My daughter wanted a tiger, rather than a cheetah, so she drew in some stripes. I used the curved die from Spinners to create the track, and the straight die for my sentiment.

My second interactive feature is the glow in the dark embossing powder I used to emboss those harvest berries branches that make up this tiger's jungle.  



For my third interactive feature, I put a message inside the card, using the zipper dies and Movers and Shakers sentiments.


Here is what it looked like before I put it together:



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Its a Jungle, Movers and Shakers Sentiments, Harvest Berries, Paper Source Owl
Paper:  Dark Chocolate, Simply Chartreuse, Spring Moss
Other:  Spinners & Zippers dies, Its a Jungle Dies, Fiskars Grass Punch, SU Square Lattice Embossing Folder


Thanks for Visiting
