Hey everyone, today I'd like to share my latest project for the Lavinia World Challenges #14. I created an interactive card using a Spellbinders die (Festive Wreaths Slider Card).
I used the following stamps from Lavinia World on my Christmas card:

When you pull the ribbon, the interactive card reveals your message. This photo really shows the texture achieved when the Christmas Eve stamp was heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.
To start out, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using some older circle dies from Spellbinders (Standard Circles Small) for the base of the focal point and created a frame using the same set from patterned cardstock.
Using a stamp positioner, I placed both the white circle and the frame onto the stamping area so I could make sure nothing would be hidden with the frame. I then removed the frame and stamped the Christmas Eve image. I used a combination of Distress Ink and Distress Markers to get the colors. I also used varying pressure on the tree to make it appear lighter and darker in certain areas.
Once I was happy with the stamping, leaving the stamp in place, clean it and then stamp with VersaMark. Heat set with Clear embossing powder. Pan Pastels were used for the background and highlighting the star and Christmas tree ornaments.
The same process of placing my white inside piece of cardstock on my stamp positioner and setting the red glittery frame on top to accurately stamp my sentiment and the Dancing Fairy was used for the "reveal" image. I stamped the Snowflakes numerous times, added my Fairy Merry Christmas sentiment and one of the Three Dancing Fairies.

You make the coolest folding cards!

This is so fun! Love all the sparkle with the fun fold!
Fabulous slider card, like your plaid and glittery paper with the darling image!
Love all the sparkle on this card.
Such a beautiful and unique card! I love the glitter on it too!
Beautifully done, Anne! The red sparkle is so great for anything Christmas and of course, I adore the fairy. Brilliant interactive design.
Love a mechanical card. Love the way it works and the look. I had not thought of using the little fairies as placing a star at the top of the Christmas tree, clever idea. The card is beautiful.
