2-0-1-6 Recipe Challenge | Lulupu Design Team

Greetings everyone!!

 Sharing my first post as a Design team member at Lulupu for the January challenge#57, which is a recipe challenge. You can find the details of the 2-0-1-6 Recipe challenge HERE .
For the general guidelines to enter a Lulupu Challenge, please read HERE.

I made an interactive Double-slider card for this challenge. And the recipe I’ve used is:-

2—stamp sets

0--- die cuts/flowers

1---- washi tape

6----Patterned papers

 Sharing a few pictures of the card :-

Front view--Closed card

Do you know what's the most interesting part about this kind of card? Well, if you haven't guessed yet, the interesting part s that on pulling out the upper tab, lower one comes out on it's own and on pulling out the right hand side tab, the left one peeks out ;) Same is the case on inserting the tabs back inside. (Scroll right down to check out the video below to get a clear idea)

On pulling out the upper tab

I received this super cute Micia stamp set-Floral invitation and two Washi Tapes in my DT kit. I’ve used those cutie baby images along with the sentiment ‘you are beautiful’from this stamp set. Another stamp set I’ve used is the My Favorite Things-penguins in paradise, for the sentiment’ You make my heart melt’.


The patterned papers are from the Webster pages collection.

On pulling out the right-hand side flap

Those colourful little hearts are made out of some felt fabric from my stash.
It’s a love-themed card and I wanted to give it a personal touch. So I designed the left sided flap in such a way that the giver can add a favorite picture of them and write a little handwritten personal note on the tag inside.
The lovely washi tape just adds on to the whole design.

Sponged the corner with some distress ink and sprinked some water to get that lovely texture. That bigger heart was cut out from a patterned paper and clear embossed to get that glossy finish.

Card completely opened-up

I like that quote, "Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite." Wrote that using my calligraphy pen.

The images in this Micia stamp set-Floral invitation are just perfect to make love-themed cards, cards for kids or even invitation cards. (More on that in my next post)

The pictures cannot explain the actual mechanism of this interactive card, so I’m sharing a very short video so that you get an idea about how it actually works.

I love making cards that have some story to tell. And I've attempted to do the same with this one. I’m quite happy with the way it has turned out. Would love to hear your views .

Looking forward to see what you come up with. Link up your entries HERE.

Happy Crafting!
