Hello Stamping Friends,
Welcome! I hope you had a fantastic week and that you are planning on having an even better weekend. This week at the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing cards that move with you. It's always fun to receive and interactive card, but you know what? It's just as fun to make it.
I decided to make a suspension card. The main image is suspended in the punched out front. It's even cooler because it doesn't just hang in there, but it can spin. I love this type of card because it is relatively easy to make. Not a ton of steps or complicated directions. That's awesome, right?
You punch a circle (or any other shape you want) in the front of your card. If you are layering, put your layers together (not glued down yet) and then punch so it will all be lined up. Then your focal image is stamped and punched on a smaller insert piece. Place a piece of string on the back of the stamped image. You'll actually need two stamped punched pieces to sandwich the string in between. Adhere the top and bottom of the string to the base of the card and then adhere your other layers accordingly. For my focal image, I actually used another circle punch to layer between the stamped images to give it a more finished look.
And of course, you need to finish off the inside a little to surprise the recipient a little more. The scrap piece of designer paper from cutting the front to size is perfect to finish it.
This card, in all honesty, didn't take long to make at all. However, the impact is great when opened. Wouldn't you love to be surprised when you open this card?
Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for even more fun cards that move.
