8 in 1 Interactive Pop Up Card featuring MFT Stamps

-
Hello There🤗 
I hope you are having a lovely day!
Today I want to share a fun and interactive 8 in 1 card. The card I made today is a Twist and Pop up Card, but with a little surprise.
This card holds a very special place in my heart as I made it for my sister's birthday. I haven't seen her in over a year because of the current situation. As a result I haven't been able to send her any cards. So to make up for all the cards I couldn't send, I thought it would be super fun to send her one card that would be equivalent to 8 different cards, two for each season of the year. My sister has been a constant support throughout my crafting journey, so I really wanted to make her a card with a little "pizzazz".
I used 8 different stamp sets to put this card together, mixing and matching different elements to make fun scenes. 
I used the following sets
SY-Tweet Friends 
BB-Polynesian Paradise 
BB-Mermaizing 
SY-Happy Campers 
BB-Sweater Weather in the Woods 
BB-Snow Buddies 
BB-Sweater Weather on Safari 
BB-Birth-Yay(Front Panel Sentiment). 
I also used the 'Hand Stamped for You' mini set for the envelope.

This card is one of my biggest, most time consuming projects so far (took me almost 4 days to complete) but I had so much fun putting it together!
The sentiment on the inside of the card reads- "I love you through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I love you ALWAYS!"

Please watch the video below to see the card in action and to truly see how it works.














I started out by stamping and coloring all my images from the different sets. Then I undertook the mammoth task of fussy cutting all the images I stamped. Next I started creating my scenes. I did ink blended backgrounds for most of the scenes, except the Summer Scene (top) with the dancing girl, which I watercolored. For Spring Scene 2, I fussy cut the grass and a strip of cardstock in the shape of a cloud, which I used for creating the backgrounds(for the spring scenes). For the Summer Scene (bottom) as well as the Autumn Scene (bottom) I drew the tree by hand and fussy cut it. For the leaves of the tree for the Autumn Scene I used the leaves of the BB- Polynesian Paradise set. For the island portion on which the sweet little tortoise is standing I used the rock from BB-Mermaizing and with a little masking, I increased the width so it would fit my card. I stamped my winter backgrounds with the small snowflake stamps that come with the BB-Snow Buddies to further add some interest. After that I assembled my scenes. Then using my paper trimmer and a scoring tool, I created the pop up mechanism. I used black cardstock and color pencils to create the floral borders around the front panel sentiment and the names of each of the seasons. I tried to stick to the colors coordinating with each season for each of the 8 scenes and the outer black panels. Finally I assembled my card. 
I hope you liked the card! 
Hugs 🤗

Using Flowers as Your Focal Image

Hello There 😊 I hope you are having a great day. Today's card features the Magnolia Stamp from Mudra Craft. Here are some close up images of the floral image. I used watercolors to paint my image. My color theme was the colors of the Indian Flag. Although it isn't very clearly visible, I stamped the corners of the blue background piece using the same stamp,but with white ink. I also added a splatter of white and silver paint,to add some extra sparkle. I didn't want the receiver of the card to be distracted by a very loud background ,which is why I kept it simple and ,almost tone on tone.  That's it for today's card. Submitting this card to the  Mudra Craft Challenge  and  The Flower Challenge . Supplies Used:  Mudra Magnolia Stamp Set https://mudrastamps.in/product/magnolia-craft-stamps/ Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Coloring on Colored Cardstock

Hello There  I hope you are having a great day🤗 Today's cards feature coloring on colored cardstock. For my examples I used kraft cardstock. My first tip for coloring on colored cardstock is to make sure to use a white pencil to add highlights to make your colors pop.  My second tip would be to add layers of colors, this makes the colors more vibrant. My third tip is to add extra details, I added sparkle using a silver gel pen. My third and final tip would be ,if you want your colors to really be bright and not discolored by the non white cardstock ,first color the area with a layer of white. If you are really interested in coloring with pencils ,please don't be daunted by all the super expensive coloring supplies. You can do amazing work with what you have🤗 The color pencils I used are only $3 for a set of 36. Taking part in  The Flower Challenge Hope you have day filled with grace. Cheers Anisha😊
