Mimi created a very fun and whimsical interactive card to inspire you today! She gave the Stitched Happy Heart a fun interactive element with Waving Pull-Tab Starter Set!


Mimi started with the Sunburst Backdrop, inking it with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink and splattering with white ink. Then she assembled the waving pull-tab mechanism (altering it to make it fit the large heart) to give the heart flapping “wings”! She found the perfect wings in Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On.


She die-cut the Stitched Happy Heart from Watercolor Wishes 12 x 12 Lucky Penny paper and inked the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. Instead of using the larger smiley face in the heart set, Mimi used dies from Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On and Tiny Gift Box Bee Add-On for the eyes, cheeks and smile. She also added the scarf from Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On for more character fun!


Then Mimi added the cute arms from Stitched Happy Heart to hold all the cute love letters! She added Happy Mail Foiled Washi to white cardstock, then cut out the individual envelopes to fill up the arms! To finish her card, she added a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Hearts.


Thank you for this adorable and totally clever inspiration Mimi!

Catherine used the Lots of Hearts Stencils in pretty shades of pink as a background for her brilliant “Etch A Sketch” themed card!


To make the Etch A Sketch frame, Catherine trimmed white cardstock to 3″ x 3 3/4″, then used a corner rounder tool on the corners. She inked the panel with Festive Berries and Lumberjack Red Distress Oxide ink. Then she cut the window opening with the square die in the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up set. She made the dials with circle dies from Let’s Bokeh and Circle Stackables.

Next Catherine cut the Magic Picture Changer panels and stamped the greeting from Magic Heart Messages on the smaller one.


She assembled the Magic Picture Changer then added it to the stenciled background with cute bears from Den Sweet Den and Snow Much Fun! And then she hot foiled “love ya” to finish her love themed card!

Thank you so much for this super fun inspiration, Catherine! Your cute Etch A Sketch brought back fond memories of this unique toy!
