Adorable Interactive Slimline Card

Oct 13, 20222 min read

Hello crafty friends, I am so excited to share with you this adorable interactive puppy card that I created using the cute Doggy Kisses Set from Art Impressions for our new Challenge “Let’s Hear it for The Boys”.

The set has this adorable puppy that has, almost all his body, wrapped with gauze. So I stamped the puppy twice using my Mini Misti and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them both the Same way with my Copic markers.

Copic Shades:

Dark Brown: E09 E07

Light Brown: E99 YR27

Blue: B45 B21

Grey: C02 C01

Yellow 06

Green: YR25

I cut the back of the puppy from one of them, and cut the front of the other. I used a pastel aqua background, die cut it using Ai Double stitched slimline dies.

For the interactive element I used a Lawn Fawn Pull Tab Slider die and Slide on Over Die to create a path for the front of the puppy to slide through, I then thread the slider tab through the path opening and glued the front of the puppy on it so when the tab is pulled out the front of the puppy slides with it.

I glued the other puppy, that has the back only, directly to the background with its body overlapping the other puppy image, so when the front of the puppy is pulled out it would look like the dog is becoming longer. I attached a band aid image, that I colored from the same stamp set, where the overlapping of both the puppy images show to cover the cut.

I then added a strip of brown floor below the puppy and die cut the pull tab notch so it is easier to pull out. The floor paper strip is from Summer Camp Paper Collection.

I stamped the sentiment that's included in the set on a white cardstock and die cut around it with Ai Double Stitched Banner Dies and attached it with foam tape to my card. I also used the smallest banner from the same banner set and a banner from Ai Journal Die set to die cut two thin banners and tucked them under my sentiment banner and colored them with same Copic shades and finished the card with enamel dots from my Enamel Dots collection here and there.
