DIY Rain Maker Shaker Interactive Card and Video | Studio Katia

Hello Friends!

Today I have a treat for you, well at least I think so!😉 

Today's card was inspired by my friend and Interactive Card Master Laura Dovalo! When she came out with a card creating a rain shaker I was floored and just knew someday I would have to make one. Well, the day finally arrived! Since then Laura has collaborated with MFT and created the Falling From The Clouds Die to make it easier for us to recreate. Unfortunately, I do not yet own the die and so I had to see if I could up with a DIY version of it using supplies I already owned. Fortunately, Studio Katia had just the die I needed! I always love it when I could stretch my supplies, don't you!?

So here is the fun Rain Maker Shaker Card I came up with. The sun, the rainbow colors, and even the rain just make me smile. Plus it is so fun to play with!

In order to create this version of the Rain Maker Shaker, I used a die meant for stitching which comes from STITCH BORDERS die set. I will let you watch how I used the die to create the mechanism that makes this card interactive. Plus you can see it in action!

CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I added embossing paste to my background using the LARGE POLKA stencil. Once that was dry I realigned the stencil with the embossed dots and used Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the rainbow colors. I then trimmed the background and glued it to the card base.

Next, I die cut the clouds using the cloud border from the SKY SET DOTTED BORDERS and also die cut the pieces for the sun by using the negative piece from die cutting the FANCY CIRCLE DIES together. I then just sandwiched the vellum piece between the sun rays.

The hello script die-cut comes from the YOU'RE SO RANUNCULUS DIE set which I die cut three times and stacked together. I used Copic markers to blend out the rainbow on the die cut and then finished it off with clear embossing powder for a high gloss finish.

To the inside of the card, I stamped out the sending you from the A CUP OF THANKS set and the Sunshine my friend comes from the ALOHA set.

I hope you have been inspired by my version of Laura's Rain Maker Shaker Interactive Card and maybe the next time you don't own that certain die or product you first take a look at what you already do have and use your creative juices to create your own. Experimenting and playing around with your supplies is what makes creating fun!

Easy Interactive Swing Cards | Flying Kittens | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday Friends!

Today I have a couple of fun and EASY Peasy interactive cards to share with you inspired by the images from the Oh My Whiskers Stamp set from the latest Honey Bee Stamps Happy BEEday Release!

So for those of you that would rather watch the process video, this is for you! Don't forget to →Subscribe to my Channel for future inspiration!

Both these cards were made using the same principles to make the stamped images swing on the card. Watch the YouTube video above for how I created the swing mechanism. It's easier to show you then to explain it all, haha! 

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the images using blackout ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and then colored them in using Copic markers. I then used the coordinating Oh My Whiskers Honey Cuts Dies to die cut them out. 

For the Balloon flying Kitty, I blended out the background using Broken China Distress Oxide inks and then I die cut the background panel using the largest Double Stitched Frame. Next, I used the Rainbow Wishes Stencil to add some clouds to the background using texture paste. I then stamped out the sentiment from the Purrrfect Sentiments set and used the coordinating Honey Cuts to die cut the sentiment that I just glued onto the bottom of the card front. For fun, I added paw prints to the balloons using the Friends FURever Stencils with some white pigment ink.

For this next card, I blended on the clouds and the sun from the Rainbow Wishes Stencil again using distress oxide inks and just lightly adding ink to the edge using a very small blending brush. For a pop of color, I added the scalloped edge layer to the card base using the largest A2 Scalloped Fame die.
