Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!
Today I'm sharing an interactive card with the new Just A Note Stamp Set and Zipper Die. I love the Zipper Die for creating a hidden message with a fun interactive element to cards! The Zipper Die creates perforated lines that make it super easy to pull them open and reveal the hidden sentiment!
I die cut some Bristol Smooth Cardstock with the All Prettied Up Scalloped Rectangle die and then die cut another panel from Simon Says Stamp Blue Violet Cardstock. When creating a zipper panel I love the look of a contrasting color behind the top panel to really show off the interactive element. On the white panel I ran through the white scalloped rectangle with the Zipper Die to create the interactive zipper pull.
I stamped the large script greeting from the Just A Note Stamp Set with black ink and then stamped butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set all over the background with Versamark Ink, being sure to make some of the butterflies look like they were sitting on parts of the large greeting. I embossed with clear embossing powder so that the color of the embossing powder wouldn't cover up any of the black stamped greeting.
I watercolored the butterflies and background with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen and then dried the background with my heat tool (or you could let the background dry if you're not in a hurry!). I stamped the arrow and "open here" from the Just A Note Stamp Set on the front zipper panel to indicate where the recipient should open the zipper.
I flicked watered down Brushed Pewter and Picket Fence Distress Paints over the background with a small paintbrush and let the background completely dry.
I used a pencil to mark on my background panel where the zipper is on the front panel and then stamped the hidden greeting from the Just A Note Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat set the greeting with white embossing powder.
I adhered the front panel over the hidden panel and then attached the entire thing to a white side fold card base, finishing the design with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh sequins.
