Bee My Valentine flip it cards

This is a throw back to last year’s adorable bee DSP and one particular card I designed with it. I die cut several bases, but didn’t get to finishing them all (I think I finished and sent one out),  nor did I post any. So this is kind of a throw back to last year, and yet not.

The Sizzix die set that I used to create these cards is likely a decade old if not older. I bought my first die cutter way back in 2013 and I’m guessing this was purchased shortly after that. I seem to pull it out every couple of years, make a card with it, then put it away for another rainy day!

This is a flip card …so as you open the card, the greeting “flips” or swings and you see the back side of it. 

And since you might want to write IN the card without it showing when the card is closed up, I affixed and extra piece of die cut white card stock inside:

Hope you enjoyed the little quasi throw back to last year! Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Zany Zoo interactive flip or swing card

There's a new, super fun printed paper pack called Zoo Crew, with a corresponding stamp set (Zany Zoo) and dies too (Zany Zoo Dies). It has all sorts of cartoon like animals...a raccoon holding a bouquet of balloons, a llama sits knitting, the aardvark holding a gift, etc. I received a special order for a birthday card and decided to create this interactive "flip" or "swing" card... and this is how it turned out...

Now open the card and the message starts to "flip"...

Here's a partial view of the inside:

And here's in the inside fully opened, with room to sign the card and add a personal message. The adorable mini cupcakes are from an old retired set call Tasty Trucks and seemed to match the koala bear's juggling cupcakes perfectly!

I love making interactive cards like this...little ones and adults alike love the simple action of this card. 

The Zany Zoo paper pack is available online, as is the stamp and die sets that coordinate. The die set I used to create the card base however is an old old old Sizzix set and is no longer available. Let me know if you'd like to order the Zany Zoo paper pack, stamp set or corresponding dies online...I'm always happy to help with any questions...

thanks for stopping by. have a wonderful day!
