CARDS THAT POP AND WOBBLE
Hello crafty friends! Welcome back to Part 2 of my series featuring the delightful Stampin’ Up By Your Side Card Kit. In this installment, I’m thrilled to share three unique cards that bring a touch of whimsy and animation to your crafting. Whether you’re a seasoned card maker or just starting out, these designs are sure to inspire and add fun to your creations.
About these Cards
For this tutorial, I’ve crafted three cards focusing on playful movement. The first card features a charming dog that seems to literally pop off the page, creating a dynamic 3D effect that’s both surprising and endearing. The other two cards incorporate both a dog and a kitty on Wobble Springs, which adds a delightful wobble effect, making it seem as if our furry friends are excitedly greeting the card’s recipient. These effects not only enhance the visual appeal but also bring the cards to life!
Creative Repurposing
One of the joys of card making is the ability to repurpose and reimagine. In these projects, I’ve utilized pieces from the By Your Side kit with minimal additional supplies needed. This approach not only showcases the versatility of the kit but also makes these projects accessible and cost-effective.
Free PDF Resources
For those who are ready to dive in and start creating, I’ve prepared detailed step-by-step instructions, complete with measurements and a comprehensive supply list. These are available in a free PDF in the INSTRUCTIONS section below, making it easy for you to follow along and enjoy crafting these adorable cards.
