Our wonderful and talented Guest Designer Kara is back to share another amazing card project for the Spectacular Skies challenge! Her Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up has some hidden interactive elements that make it so extra special!

Kara added some movement using the Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On to the background! The little plane and banner are from the Simply Celebrate Spring set and the tiny little fairy “pilot” is found in the A Little Sparkle set!

She also added another interactive element to flip up the second banner from the clouds! Check out the video tutorial at Kara’s YouTube channel to see how she made this work!

Kara added fun little scenes on the box flaps! Her coloring is so amazing with so much wonderful detail! Be sure to check out the supply list below for all the stamp and die sets she combined to make this super fun card!

The outside of the box is perfectly plain and so cute with Cloudy Hillside Pop-Up Add-On clouds and a simple greeting from our Speech Bubbles die set! All the fun happening on the inside of this card will be such an awesome surprise!

Thank you so much, Kara! We are so happy that you joined us as our Guest Designer for this challenge! Your cards have been so creative and totally inspiring!

Our Spectacular Skies challenge will continue through Sunday, June 2 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you!

Christy’s Sun-bathing Polar Bear!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hey crafty friends! It’s Christy here with another card for our Spectacular Skies Challenge. As soon as I saw the adorable new On The Beach set, I knew I had to make a Polar Bear on Holiday card! Isn’t he cute? I stamped my images out and colored them with Copic markers, making sure to give the polar bear a little sunburn on his nose. I also added in the little bird from Say What? Pets and colored him to look like a seagull so polar bear could have a friend.

For my background, I used a cloud stencil and Distress ink to create my sky. I trimmed out two Stitched Wave Borders and two Stitched Hillside Borders and blended more Distress ink, then sprinkled on some water and blotted it up with a paper towel.

I set my cute little scene by adding my images with a combination of Glue Tube and Foam Tape, then added a greeting with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. To finish off the card, I stamped on two seagulls from Life is Good.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check it out on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you feel inspired to go create your own project with Spectacular Skies! There’s still time to enter our challenge. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Have a wonderful weekend Fawnatics friends! Happy crafting!
