Hi everyone and welcome back to another Happy Insta Girls Blog Hop! This time we will share some Easter cards with you that we created. We are a group of girls who met on Instagram and the lovely
Birka brought this blog hop to life! I hope you'll have fun and enjoy all the cards that you'll find along the way! :)
I received this wonderful card by Sonja! Isn't it just the perfect Easter card? I was really happy when I received it and now it has a special spot on my wall! :)
For this blog hop I wanted to make another interactive card. For my birthday last year I received this amazing birthday card. If you pulled on one side, the image would change to another. And I just had to try it!! So I cut it open, traced all the individual pieces, scanned it with my Scan'N'Cut and created a cutting file. (The plan was to share it with you today but it doesn't work 100% and I still had to adjust while creating the card so I decided to post it whenever I have the chance to make it work.)
For my card I needed two panels. To create these I used the Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp set by Lawn Fawn. For the front panel I started off stamping three eggs. I also used the grass border stamp and stamped it along the bottom of the panel in light and dark green, overlapping. For the cloud background I masked off the eggs and used a self-made cloud sencil and applied Tumbled Glass distress ink over the edges of the stencil. I finished the panel stamping the sentiment "chirpy-chirp-chirp!".
For the second panel I wanted three little chicken being hatched, so I stamped the different chicken and egg shells, masking off specific parts. I also stamped the grass border stamp again and also created the cloudy background to match the front panel. This time, I used the sentiment "[translation: happy easter!]".
And now the scary part began. I had to cut my self-made cutting file for the card from the created panels. If that didn't work for whatever reason, I would have re-create the whole thing. BUT... eyerthing worked out fine! :)
Now I had to assemble the card. I adhered the back panel to the inside of the card shell that I cut from grass green cardstock. Then I had to threaded the front panel in the back panel and closed the card shell. I also applied yellow washi tape to the bottom and front to make sure that the shell stays shut. You can see the card in action in the video below.
I hope you enjoyed my card! Now hop along and see what Katrin created for you! Happy Easter!
