Today I have another fun interactive card to share with you, this one is pretty clean and simple.
I thought it would be fun to make a Get Well Soon Card by creating a Surprise Slider for the tea bag, cause who doesn't like a cup of Tea when they are feeling sick.
As you can see in the next picture the tea bag slides out of the mug by pulling up on the tag. So fun!
To create the card was actually quite simple.
I stamped the image of the mug on to my card panel, masking the existing tag that was on the stamp. I also stamped and die cut the rest of the images I was going to use and die cut them out with the coordinating dies.
Next, I cut a straight slit across the top of the mug with a blade (wide enough for the tea bag to slide through the opening). I then pierced the top of the tea bag and threaded some bakers twine through the hole. Next, secured the string to the back of the bag with multi medium matte glue and taped it down. Also to the back of the tea bag I added and acetate strip to give the bag some length to allow for the up and down movement. Once the glued pieces of the sliding tea bag were all dry, I inserted the bag through the open slit on the mug. I then created a "stopper' by gluing a few pieces of paper horizontally to the bottom of the acetate piece (this was to prevent the bag from popping out of the slit). Then created the channel for the slider by using foam tape.
I then added the border frame to the top panel, using foam tape to pop it up but leaving a gap for the pull tag to peak through. Once that was done I added the panel to the card base. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment and adding some finishing touches.
