Just Curious

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Magic Picture Changer Card I created with the Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer and Magic Picture Changer Add On die sets.

To create my card today I used Hero Arts Curious Cat Clear Stamp set which was an add-on set for the March My Monthly Hero Card Kit. For the first view of my card the cats are both looking at a fish bowl which is empty.

Here you can see the card as the image on the front starts to change to reveal the image which is underneath.

When you pull the tab, it reveals the fish swimming in the fish bowl. I colored the surrounding area around the fish bowl and the frame to match so it looks like a floor/table and wall.

I added two sentiments to the card from the stamp set, one on the top of the card and the other on the bottom.

For the inside of the card I kept it fairly simple by adding a strip of the patterned paper I used on the front of the card. I also stamped a sentiment and fish.

To A Fabulous Teacher

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Kelly Santi our challenge hostess finishes the month with one last challenge.

 Tomorrow is National Pencil Day!  Create a card coloring your image with colored pencils (no markers, watercolors, etc OR feature an image with a pencil or BOTH!.  

  

For the challenge today, I decided to opt for an image of a pencil rather than coloring in with pencils, as that isn't my favorite way to color.  Pencils also remind me of school and teachers, so I took this opportunity to create another Teacher thank you card for my Grandchildren's teachers at the end of the year. Seeing I need a few it doesn't hurt to get an early start.                                                                          

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

As you can see by the video above, I created another Magic Picture Changer card using Lawn Fawn's Magic Picture Changer die set.

The cute little girl holding a pencil is from Mama Elephant's She's So Lovely Clear Stamp set, around the images I added stamps from Ellen Hutson's Teacher Leading Lady stamp set.

I also used patterned paper from Elizabeth Craft Designs which feature pencils ... whole pencils on the smaller panel and on the paper on the base, the pattern looks like it might be looking at the end of pencils.



Here you can see the card as the image on the front starts to change to reveal the message underneath.



For the message that is reveal when the picture changes, I used stamps from Heffy Doodle. I added a couple on small pencils which I found in a Craftin' Desert Divas stamp set.

I also added the "To A Fabulous Teacher" sentiment to the frame surrounding the message which are also from Heffy Doodle.



For the inside of the card I added under another sentiment also from the Heffy Doodle stamp set and added a stack of books on either side of the sentiment which is from Mama Elephant's Bookworm stamp set.

Wizard Magic Picture Changer

Hi Crafty Friends,

t’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. As challenge hostess for March, I continue to issue the challenges.

According to the Days of the Year Calendar the 20th March was Hufflepuff Pride Day, 21st – Slytherin Pride Day, 22nd – Gryffindor Pride Day and 23rd – Ravenclaw Pride Day. These are the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy from Harry Potter. This is a challenge for all the Harry Potter fans out there, create a card inspired by Harry Potter. This could include using stamps of the characters, using colors from any one of the four houses on your card. Or anything else that inspires you.

Recently Lawn Fawn released their Magic Picture Changer die set. Being a lover of anything Interactive, I had to add this to my stash. I figured it would be perfect for this week's challenge seeing it was "magic" related.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.



I pulled out all my "Harry Potter" themed stamps to create my card. In the Magic Picture Changer itself, I used two of the characters from Witt and Sass's Magical Creatures Clear Stamp set, I was fortunate to be able to grab this just before they went out of business.

When the pull tab on the right hand side of my card is closed, it shows the Gryffindor Lion.

When you pull the tab, the lion disappears and reveals the Slytherin Snake .... how magic is that!!!!

It is hard to tell by the photos, but the 9 3/4 paper in the background is two layers ... the one on the base of the card and then also the one which covers the Magic Picture Changer. I made sure when I was cutting this paper that the "9 3/4" matched up.

I added some ground to the bottom of the card using Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside Border and added some of the wizards from Kindred Stamps Students of Magic Clear Stamp set.

The sentiment is from Card Craft Stamps Wizard Words stamp set.

For the inside of the card I added the sentiment and broomstick from Kindred Stamps Wizard Friends, which is also no longer available. The snitch and Sorting Hat is from the Students of Magic stamp set.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Have A Super Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Magic Picture Changer Card I created with the new Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer and Magic Picture Changer Add On die sets. This is actually the third card I have made since the weekend using this die set, but as the other two cards are for challenges which won't be on my blog until the end of March I had to make another one. I think this might be favorite of the three so far.

For my card today I decided to pull out my MFT Stamps Super Dog Clear Stamp set to create a Super Hero themed card. 

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

Here you can see the card as the image on the front starts to change to reveal the image which is underneath.

To create the background behind the Super Dogs, I sponged the cardstock with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and then used one of the stencils from the Honey Bee Stamps Ocean Builder Stencil set  to create the radiating rays.

Along the bottom of the card I added the City Block Die-namics.

The birthday sentiment on the top of the card is from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Super Pug stamp set, stamped onto a speech bubble.

For the inside of the card I added the rays background using Distress Oxide inks and then added the City Block Die-namics along the bottom of the card. 

I added one more of the Super Dogs and a sentiment to my card.
