This is a card based very closely on an owl flip card by Darlene DeVries. Her video on this card is here:
Owl Flip Card
Her card is so incredibly cute that I watched the video about 50 times? yes, maybe so. It was hard for me to make mostly because I can't learn fast so that's why I watched the video so many times (plus the fear factor of trying a little more advanced card had me in its grips).
The challenge at StampTV this week is to make a creation with a 'hole' in it. Ok, mine definitely has a hole in it. It has four parts: the front when it's closed, the inside left of just the owl before flipping, the inside owl after flipping and showing the little girl owl, and finally, the far right/sentiment side. Here are the pictures --
The closed card:

Front flap folded 1/2 open (before the flip takes place) owl 'without' a heart:

The left inside 'flipped' (shows owl with a 'heart') and girl own on swing:

The far right or sentiment side:

And the entire card, 11" wide:

Each time you close the card, the boy owl flips back to the non-heart side of him, the girl owl and the branch/swing folds, and it looks like an aperture card. Slowly pull the card open and all the fun takes place, truly kinetic!!!!
Thank you so much for coming over and taking a look!!!!

Rosy your card is awesome! Good for you for trying something that you thought was going to be difficult to do. I had a look at Darlene's video and to be honest, I think I'll need to watch it 50 times as well to understand how to do it. I haven't tried making any action type cards at all but I think you've inspired me to try. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love how you dressed the owl!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is an ambitious undertaking - and you executed it perfectly!! Your owl is just so sweet, and I love how you decorated the whole white cardstock with the leaves and vines.And on the inside you have placed the hearts - so touching!! Really looks like your little guy is in a forest. Super cute card, you have outdone your self my dear!!!
