Interactive Cards – Mindy Eggen Design

Welcome everyone! Recently my husband and daughter took a 7-day trip to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. I stayed back with our son but they sent me amazing, breath-taking pictures! One of them was a picture of beach and the gorgeous shades of blue in the water. I tried to recreate a card inspired by this image.

Breath-taking right? I’ve never been to the ocean but this is exactly what I hope to see some day.

For my card, I masked off the top half of a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock and ink blended Salty Ocean. After removing the mask and placing on top of my sky, I ink blended Chipped Sapphire.

I ink blended a few more strips of card stock using Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide and die cut them using the Stitched Simple Wavy Border. I also die cut these pieces with the Reveal Wheel die. This way I could layer the front of my card.

I added palm trees using the Tropical Background using Paper Bag and Cilantro card stock. I know there wasn’t palm trees in the original picture but the bottom of my card needed something. I also added some cute little kitties from the Keep On Swimming stamp/die set.

I have a little mountain in the background that I got from the Ahoy Matey Stamp set.

To create the reveal wheel I used the Reveal Wheel Die, Reveal Wheel Friends & Family Sentiments, & Reveal Wheel Essential Shapes Templates.

So what do you think? Did I come close? I love the different shades of water.

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. This is a perfect time to create an interactive card and enter it in the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #58 – Interactive.

Welcome back everyone! I have a fun interactive card to share with you today featuring the new Magic Picture Changer from Lawn Fawn! This is magic right here! It is so much fun to create and the possibilities are endless!

I have a video you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube Channel. It’s a lot easier to explain in a video versus a blog post so be sure to check it out.

For my picture changer, I decided to have my sky change from daytime to night time. I used the new Butterfly Kisses stamp set and Little Fireflies.

I used Simon Says Stamp Masking Paper to create mask for my images. Then ink blended a background for each.

The new Spring Fling paper pack is amazing too! The patterns just scream Spring and match perfectly! I also used the 4-bar rectangle die to cut a piece of the patterned paper to match my stitching on my card.
