Interactive window card for Day 2 of MFT April Release Countdown

Hello! The MFT April Release Countdown continues and today I’m sharing an interactive card featuring the Window Die-namics die and Sweet Spring Friends stamp set.

I decided to take advantage of the window to create a little house and used the Small Brick Wall Stencil to emboss a 5″ x 5″ panel of Red Hot Card Stock. Then I stamped the boy and the cat from the Our Story stamp set on a same sized panel of white card stock, to go behind the window. I colored the images with Copic markers and masked them to lightly ink the background with Broken China and Chipped Saphire Distress inks.

Next I stamped, colored and fussy cut some of the cute animals from the Sweet Spring Friends stamp set. I adhered them to a strip of grass, cut using the Grassy Edges Die-namics. Let’s have a look at the card in action, before I continue:

I had a hard time setting up the simple mechanism, because of the lack of space between the squirrel and the pull tab, but I finally managed to do it. I taped the process, but I’m not sure if I’ll make it into a video tutorial, since I’ve already used the mechanism before, to move the lion’s head in my interactive circus card.

To create and cover the mechanism, I used dies from the Pull Tab Die-namics, Spin & Slide Channels Die-namics and Interactive Swing Die-namics. I also used the Tree Branch Die-namics to add some detail to the tree. That’s it for today, head on to the MFT blog and leave a comment for a chance to win a 75$ voucher to the MFT store. I’ll be back on Tuesday, to show you my card for MFT & Friends. ^_^
