Hi crafters! I started this project using some Lindy's Magicals onto the base of some smooth white card, then when dry I added some heat embossed stamping here and there using white embossing powder — this is great for adding texture. I then used another stamp to produce the random dots in black ink. I love the look of film strips, so I stamped this one and cut it out using my ScanNCut (you can of course fussy cut by hand), then I layered some hand fussy cut flowers which I had coloured with my alcohol markers, simply adding a stamped heart too. I used one of the sentiments from the sentiment strip stamp set to finish it off.

Renske For this interactive slimline card I used the Flower Fairy on a Scooter digital stamp together with a sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother’s Day greetings set. I coloured the image with alcohol markers in soft spring tones and created a light background with clouds, a simple path and grassy details. To make the design more playful I added a slider mechanism so the fairy can move across the scene. The card is finished with small flower clusters and subtle details to keep the focus on the movement. I hope you enjoy this project and feel inspired to create your own — happy crafting!

My inspiration project for this week is a 5 1/2 inch square gatefold card with a belly band. I used stamps, stencils and dies from the Hydrangea Ribbon Bundle.The large hydrangea flower was stamped and stencilled with 4 different purple inks. I stamped and inked a stem and set of leaves as well — they were all die cut. A square and fancy doily were die cut and added to the card base.The flower, stem, leaves and a printed sentiment were adhered to a circle die cut and attached to the belly band. The inside of the card was decorated with die cuts and some embossed panels. I stamped leaves and a sentiment.

Hi crafty friends! I don't know about you, but interactive cards are always a huge challenge for me. Not because I don't like them — I really do — but simply because I always think I can't make them. For my project this week, I used Noodle Panda Hanging on tree branch & Noodle Panda Relax with Bamboo. I teamed it up with the Spring into Easter - Set 1. I hope you like it — despite any fears, I had a lot of fun!

I went with this beautiful Winnie Wonderland design sheet. I fussy cut the cute elements you get in this sheet and took a 4x4 inch background card, arranging the front the way I wanted. For the bottom I first adhered vellum slightly bigger than the front card. I made a slider first for the interactive card and glued the ephemera I wanted. To make a proper interactive card I worked from the backside, keeping my card base on top so I could see the slider — it's important to attach your slider properly or it will be a mess. I kept the slider in the area I wanted it to move and added double-sided 3D foam, leaving space for the movement. This one was one of my favourites as the Winnie collection is just so gorgeous and versatile.

The DT was challenged with creating an interactive card this week, and I envisioned a panda sliding down a bamboo shoot! Here's
Bamboo snack time - Noodle Panda Bear sliding down the bamboo while he floats on his cloud.
I used the sentiment from the Noodle Panda Themed Messages Noodle Panda themed messages as a sort of pull tab for the slider piece. My papers are from Noodle Panda - Set 3 printable digital paper patterns. I used a sentiment strip die cut to create the slider tab, added a foam strip to the back of the panda, then attached a plain piece of sturdy cardstock to the back side of the panda.

Revati - I created a fun interactive box card featuring the adorable Road Trip Car Bee Buzzy Gnome Digital Stamp. To build the scene, I used a vibrant blue sky from the Spring to Easter Digital Paper Pad and layered grass and hill borders using green paper from the Lilac Haze Flowers Bundle. After printing everything on white cardstock, I used my Brother ScanNCut to cut the images and colored them with Ohuhu alcohol markers, adding a touch of sparkle with a glitter brush pen and crisp white highlights for extra dimension. Finishing it off with sentiments from the Winnie Daisy and Gnome Men digital stamp sets, this 3D card is ready to hit the road! For more details, visit my blog
