Interactive card with Flying By. This interactive card is a variation of the rotating circles fun fold card I’d created in a previous post which you can see HERE.
I used the Stylish Shapes dies but had to use the Spotlight on Nature dies as well because the next size up on the Stylish Shapes circle set was just too big. However, the 2nd largest of the radiating stitches pattern set in the Spotlight on Nature dies was just a smidge larger which worked better. In addition, I used the Alphabet a la Mode dies to die cut “Hello You”.
Cutting guide
Card base & Mat layers card front
- Card base : Misty Moonlight 4 ⅛” x 11″ (10.5 cm x 28 cm) long side score at 5 ½” (14 cm).
- Adhere Adhesive Sheet to Silver Foil cut at 3 ⅞” x 5 ⅛” (9.8 cm x 13 cm). Gut the inside by cutting a ¼ ” (0.5 cm) frame on all 4 sides. Reserve inside for die cutting letters with Alphabet a la Mode dies to spell “HELLO YOU”. *Tip: Line up your dies and place washi tape on top so you can cut the letters in one go. Only use as much foil as you need because the marks on your cutting plate will mark the foil and render it flawed.
- Boho Blue mat layer 3 ¾” x 5″ (9.5 cm x 12.7 cm) . Adhere this layer on top of silver foil frame with double sided tape.
Inside card
