Creativations 2019 Tim Holtz Blog Hop and Giveaway
Hello! Welcome to our Creativations 2019 Blog Hop!
I’d like to share one of the card samples that I created for Stampers Anonymous. But first, I want to take the time to thank the people at Creativations for being so kind and so inspiring… here are just a few pictures that I took of some of the people I got to spend time with!
First off…. “The Boss”…. aka #meBoo. Thank you Tim Holtz for allowing me to be a part of the team. Thank you for continually inspiring me both creatively and in life! (and thanks to the person that took this photo during her Make and Take) This is where I hung out making a beautiful necklace from the Assemblage Line.
And it was so much fun spending time with these folks:
(and yet there were so many people I didn’t get a chance to take a photo with! ugh!)
Well, back to my card sample…. for those that know me, I loooooove interactive cards.
(click to see the hat move up and down…)

To create this card, stamp the image of the professor low enough to make room for the hat…
I don’t know if its the stamp…. or the new Distress Archival ink…. (probably a mix of both), but the image comes out so crisp and clean… in just one shot! (I neeeeeed these archival inks in ALL of the distress colors! 😉 )
I then used Eclipse masking tape to create a mask of the professor and covered the him so that I could stamp the beautiful fragment stamps for the background.
I usually feel like it looks like such a mess before the mask is removed…
But once it does, and you ink up the edge, you really see it start to come through…
Then comes the fun part…. I’m not very good with an craft knife…. so I chose to use my paper trimmer. You need a slit above the man that is about .25 inches wide. And I make it as tall as the hat needs to move….
I also cut out a piece of cardstock that will act as the mechanism to move the hat up and down. I punched a hole and added some jute so that it will be easy to move the cardstock up and down.
Now you want to line up that cardstock behind your image. Add a piece of dimensional to the bottom of the “track”. This is where you will attach the hat. The dimensional will give the hat just enough room off the main image to be able to move up and down.
To keep the cardstock from flopping around and to keep it on the track, i used mounting tape to surround the cardstock. Don’t make it so close so that the brown cardstock can’t move…. but you don’t want it too loose to where the cardstock may go “off course”.
Then, you just assemble your card… and just like that, you have an interactive card.
Kath Stewart is up next…. and her card had my jaw dropping… so happy to have been able to see it in person!
