Flipping Father's Day Card With An Interactive Surprise

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog! Father's card is just around the corner. I am inspired to create a card for this special day. At the same time, I would like to join in the Lawnfawnatics latest challenge Dies Only. I was tempted to use a stamp on this card but decided not to use one and just use dies to keep up with the challenge theme. The Lawn Fawn dies I used on this card are listed below:
  • LF Selfie Frames
  • LF Cole's ABC
  • LF Stitched Borders
  • LF Flippin' Awesome
  • LF Scripty Love
  • LF Fancy Lattice Backdrop





I am so glad that most of the small negative die cuts of the lattice backdrop remained attached to the backdrop after running the die and the patterned paper through the die cut machine. After I adhered this panel to a side folding A2 note card, I adhered the pieces that fell off. I used this panel as a background for the flipping mechanism.


The heart pops out on the last part of the flipping mechanism. Ideally, the pull out panel should be kept flat as possible so the flipping will go smoothly. I used die cuts with some of the die cuts overlapping. This gets caught on the tabs on the back of the flipping mechanism. To solve this issue, I added powder to the overlapping areas of the die cuts. I also loosened the feet on the back of the flipping mechanism to give more space to the overlapped die cuts to slide through. 

Below is a short video to show how fun this interactive card is. I hope you like it.


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