Hello there my stamping friends. I am sharing one of my favorite things today. Its another Mystery Swap Challenge with my friend Jen Hartsgrove. I just love doing these swaps with Jen. It's a fun way to connect with a friend that lives across the country! This month our challenge is to make an Autumn themed Interactive card. So, as always Jen sent me a Mystery package of things to use for this challenge and I sent her one too. I will make a card with the things she sent to me and I will also make a card with the things I sent to her. And of course Jen will do the same. You can see the opening of my Mystery package and the making of my cards below and then click over and see what Jen made with the same things!
If you can not see the video above you can also find it right here.
You can watch Jen's video right HERE.
Now let's take a closer look at the cards. First up is the Lift the Flap card I made using the things that Jen sent to me.
I love the new Slimline Lift the Flap die set from Lawn Fawn, so I was thrilled this was the die cut that Jen sent to me. I was also in love with the papers she sent. I love plaids so much and this fall one is perfect for an Autumn picnic, right??? I have been wanting to play with the Crazy Antics stamp set for a while and thought this would be a perfect time to do so. In fact I ended up using it on both of today's cards.
Let's look closer at what's under each of these flaps.
See the tree, I die cut that using the Shadow Box Park Add on Die Set and woodgrain paper that Jen sent in the Mystery package. I am so in love with all the images in this set, especially the ants. However, they are not as cute when they are actually in your house!
Here are the little mice having a picnic, oblivious to the ant situation. These teeny tiny ants have dies to cut them out! It's these little details that make me so happy.
And off the ants go with the good stuff. I had so much fun making the three mini scenes for this lift the flap card.
Now let's take a look at the card I made using the Mystery items that I sent to Jen.
I sent Jen these wooden hoops and sequins, with the thought in mind that they could be used to make a shaker. I decided to use both sizes and make a double shaker and use the same stamp set, Crazy Antics, for another picnic scene.
Again, the ants have taken over! I love the ant peeking out of the picnic basket! And the smaller shaker is a look into the ants den! They tiny die cut ants were the perfect shaker element!
If you did not watch the video already of the making of these cards you will want to do so to see how these shaker hoops came together.
Below I have listed and linked all the things I used to make these cards ( that I could find on the www).
