Magic Iris Shaped Father's Day Card

Hello! Welcome back to my card. I am excited to share my card with you today. I had the Lawn Fawn Magic Iris die set in my craft stash for a while now. I only get to use it this week. My first try didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be. I almost wanted to call it quits but I am glad I did not because I just love how this card turned out. 

Lawn Fawn has a video tutorial on how use this die set which I am linking here, Magic Iris. I highly recommend that you watch the video before using this die set. I had to watch it again on my second attempt on using this die just to be sure I am doing it right. 

My colors are inspired by the latest Inkspirational Challenge which I also linked below in case you are interested to see and join their challenge. I usually look around at other blog challenges to find inspiration especially when I hit a wall while creating something. 

The latest Lawnfawnatics Challenge (also linked below) is Dies Only. True enough, this card used only dies. The sentiment die cuts are from LF Cole's ABCs die set. The smiley face is from the LF Outside In Stitched Flower die set. The glitter stars are from my die cut box. I apologize because I am notd sure which die I used for the stars. I usually die cut little shapes ahead of time and store it in a bea box so it is ready for use. I am sure you can find any star die in your craft stash that you can use for this purpose. 

I added a shadow to the sentiment inside the iris which was not my original plan. I die cut the letters on light peach cardstock at first but I didn't like the look of it on the dark peach cardstock. I die cut the letters on light green cardstock. I adhered the light peach letter die cut to the back of the light green letter die cuts, slightly offsetting it for a shadow effect. 

For the shaped card, I die cut the dark peach cardstock using a circle die slightly larger than the LF Magic Iris base. I die cut two circle pieces. I scored the second circle 1/2" from the top. I applied glue to this flap. I adhered this to the back of the assembled magic iris die cuts, making sure that the orientation of the card is relative to how the sentiment is laid. 

As a tip, for the mechanism to continue working on this shaped card, only apply adhesive to the stabilizers on both front and back of the assembled magic iris die cuts. 

Below is a short video showing the interactive feature of this shaped card. I hope you like it.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
