More with Interactive Cards

 Hey there, hello again! I'm back today to wrap up my theme this week of interactive cards, this time featuring the PTI products of Salt Air: Flora and Fauna, Reef Builder Dies, and sentiments. You can see that I'm still on a beach theme, but today's cards are to welcome a new little one. 

I'd never seen - or noticed - a Rocker card until recently in a blog challenge, and I just had to make one! They've been around for quite awhile - but now look so cute dressed up with dies. 


My card began with a 5" die cut circle scored in half. A smaller circle was glued just on to the bottom half and was embellished with the die cuts.  Just a note of caution - don't glue them down until you check the balance on your card. You don't want your rocker to be lopsided.  I loved making this, can't wait to try it again. Photos don't do them justice. 

The second card is a Flip Fold card, again, only requiring circle die cuts, no other special die needed. With this one, I added patterned papers to the front, and glitter to dust the seashells in sparkle. 


I definitely enjoyed stamping these sea creatures, and adding sponged color to the flora. All inks used are from PTI.  Here's a view of the inside. 


I love the way interactive cards give a surprise to the recipient upon opening. 

I will be back tomorrow with something I consider special! Hope to see you then. 

Be yourself.

     Find delight in your craft.

             Make something beautiful!

Gosh, both your cards are so cute, Cindy! I love beach/ocean/nautical cards and have a bunch of NBUS along those lines. I should get busy with them. You did a great job with your rocker card. I know they can be tricky trying to get the balance just right.
