Another interactive card adventure. The hand waves as the card is opened and closed.   A co-worker asked if I could make some Thank You cards that had his son waving as the card was opened.  I told him "well, I can try".  This is what I came up with.

Welcome to my next adventure in interactive cards! The circle of transportation icons circles the sentiment like a Merry-Go-Round. I saw an example of this card quite a while back, right after the Stampin Up Sliding Star dies first appeared in the catalog.  Now that I have some time to create and play, here goes ....

Welcome to my next interactive experiment!! I saw quite a few examples of this interactive card technique on YouTube and added it to my ever-growing list of techniques to try.  As soon as I saw Stampin Up's A Little Wild stamps and coordinating framelits (Little Loves), I knew they would be great for this type of card.  It has taken me quite a while to get to a good place for creating and playing with cards but, in the meantime, Stampin Up came out with a holiday version, Seasonal Chums and Seasonal Tags Framelits, so I made many variations at the same time. Supplies Stamps:  Stampin Up Seasonal Chums, A Little Wild, Howl-o-ween Treat, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Happy Celebrations, Merry Cafe Dies: Stampin Up Seasonal Tags, Little Loves, Cupcake Cutouts, Christmas Greetings, Celebrate You, Stitched Shapes, Squares, Number of Years Inks: Stampin Write Markers in Cucumber Crush, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic B...

My significant other needed a card for a co-worker's wedding.  The front of the card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #340.  The interior is an Inside Shadow Box that I learned how to do from a YouTube video by Jennifer McGuire Ink.
