Samantha‘s cheeky little scene features the cute Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducklings and costumed duck from Easter Party! She used the Rainy Backdrop: Portrait to add some glimmer embossing paste raindrops!

Christy used our Winter Sparrows along with the phone from Love Letters and some music notes from Christmas Fishes to make an adorable little scene! I love how she layered the pretty patterned papers!

Samantha created an adorable Valentine card in yummy colors of Chili Pepper, Raspberry and Apricot featuring Peacock Before ‘n Afters! She added sweetness with the Just Stitching Hearts, Heart Shaker Gift Tag and the You’re Sweet Line Border!

Karin‘s Valentine treat boxes feature the Love Letters birds and sentiments! She used the Milk Carton to create the cute little treat holders!

Joyce‘s adorable gift tags are perfect to dress up a gift for any occasion! The Stud Puffin set will be great year-round when you want to add a little whimsy! The tags are from the Heart Shaker Gift Tag set and the sentiments are from Love Poems!

Franci‘s birds and colorful balloons are from our Elphie Selfie stamp set! She combined them with the paper from You’re Just My Type and sweet sentiments from Love Letters!

The little birds from Get Well Soon, Get Well Before ‘n Afters and Elphie Selfie coordinate nicely on Caly‘s pretty Magic Picture Changer design!

Jessica shared her thoughts, “Australia has been on my mind so I decided to use the little kookaburra from Critters Down Under“. We are all sending good thoughts and thinking of our friends in Australia!

I love how Jenn used the little chicks from Chirpy Chirp Chirp on this fun slimline card design! How fun that the chicks are colored in “Easter egg colors” and lined up in rainbow order! She included a greeting from Yay, Kites!

A Get Well Before ‘n Afters Card with Jessica!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Interactive challenge! I just love interactive cards and couldn’t wait to create this underwater scene with the Magic Picture Changer dies!

To start I stamped the cute sick and healthy whales from Get Well Before ‘n Afters onto Strathmore Bristol cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. Then I masked them with a Post-it note and blended Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink onto both backgrounds. Then I die-cut the scenes with the Magic Picture Changer dies and created my Magic Picture Changer scene. I also used the Magic Picture Changer Add-on set to add a black pull tab.

Next I stamped a bunch of images from Fintastic Friends and Mermaid for You and colored them with Copics before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I also colored around the die-cuts so they’d match my background.

Then I blended the same three Distress Oxide ink colors onto an A2 panel. I also blended Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, and Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink onto a second A2 panel and die-cut it with the Bayou Backdrop. I die-cut a banner with the Simply Wavy Banners and then stamped the sentiment from Wavy Sayings.

I adhered the Bayou Backdrop onto my blended background and adhered that to a card base. Then I added my Magic Picture Changer scene onto the background panel with foam mounting tape. I added all the extra fish and mermaid around my scene and adhered the banner on top. Finally I added a few accents with a white gel pen and some sparkly bubbles with glitter drops to finish the card!

And that’s it! You have one more weekend to get crafty with our Interactive Challenge and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!
