it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Move On!", and she doesn't mean she wants you to get outta here, she just wants to see projects that have some sort of interactive feature. So, think shakers, pop ups, sliders or maybe even....
a reveal wheel card! My first one ever. I gotta admit, it was easier than I thought it was gonna be. When I was going along making it, and everything was going swimmingly, I kept saying to myself, "Okay, so when am I going to mess this up? There's no way I'll get it done without making some sort of stupid mistake....." And I did, of course. When I stamped the sentiments on the wheel, inside my very carefully traced circles, I just stamped them all parallel to the bottom. Of course, when you turn the wheel, the words ended up sideways and upside down, save one. That wasn't a big deal though, just die cut another scalloped circle, traced the openings again and lightly wrote the words inside the next time so I'd know which way to stamp 'em. Easy-peasy!
I am kicking myself for not thinking to paper piece the balloon and then die cut the wheel out of the same paper though. I think that would have taken the card up a notch, don't you? Next time, for sure.
Oh, and here's a craptastic video of how it works. Sorry, I should have

Fun card. Great job on you first reveal wheel card. Thanks for joining us at The Cutie Pie Challenge. Pat K xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Jan, I am sooooooo impressed!!! You did a great job (trial run error didn't count). I've never made one of these either. In fact I don't believe I've ever made but one shaker card and that one I cheated on with a shaker embellishment. I admit, I'm kinda lazy on doing anything that takes too much of my time. I recognize this cute lil' piggy – Whimsey Doodles! I've got him, too. What a shame she closed.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that piggie! Thanks so much for playing with us at Die Cuttin Divas. Hope to see you again soon :)
