Interactive Cards by Ellen Haxelmans

Today we have two fun interactive cards to share by Ellen! Each month she is sharing an interactive project to inspire you!

Today is she's sharing a pop-up box card and a fun shaker card

First up is the box card:

Ellen created an underwater scene on the bottom of the box card. She used those cute little fish from our Narly Mermaids Stamp Set. She trimmed them out using the Narly Mermaids Die Set. She also added in that little seashell from our Manatee-rific Stamp Set. She used our Land Borders Die Set for the curvy sand and grass and our Sea Borders Die Set for the waves.

On the top she added another little scene featuring that cute squirrel and some acorns from our Harvest Tails Stamp Set. She also layered in some cattails and a dragonfly from our Winston's Lake House Stamp Set. For the sentiment she chose "you make a nicer place" from our Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

On the side of the box she also included the "many thanks" sentiment from our Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. What an adorable little scene!

Next is a fun Halloween Shaker Card:

Ellen created another adorable project to share today. This one is a cloud shaped shaker card! She used the cute kitty on a broomstick from our Newton’s Boo-tiful Night Stamp Set. She colored the image with copic markers and then cut it out using the new coordinating Newton's Boo-tiful Night Die Set. She added this kitty, along with some bats and a moon onto the corner of her cloud.

Inside the shaker shape she also added the "trick or treat" die cut. This die cut is a bonus die that's included in our Halloween Trio Die Set.

Here is a close-up so you can all her lovely coloring:

This card would be adorable on it's own, or added onto a fun halloween gift!
