Hi and welcome back to my happy place. I have a fun interactive card to share with you that features Polkadoodles. You can find more inspiration from the the other designers on the Digi Choosday Challenge…. and a discount code!!!! For this card I used the Cool Dude digital stamp that comes with printable papers, the Ruth Supermum papers, and the Just a Little Note sentiment. You can find the sentiment and Ruth Supermum Set for free right now on the Polkadoodles site.
For this card I started out by making a 5.5 in square base and then trimmed 1/2 inch off of the bottom to make room for the pull tab. All of my papers and images were printed onto smooth card stock, with the images colored with Copic Markers. I then die cut the rectangle that the Cool Dude is mounted on and started to create the slider element. On the striped Ruth Supermum paper, I cut slits that were centered on the page, but measured approx 1/4 inch in from each side of the rectangle die cut piece. I then attached an acetate strip to the bottom of edge of the rectangle piece to form the feet of the slider. I then slid the feet into the slits of the striped paper and temporarily taped the rectangle centered on the panel. I then added double sided tape to the feet to secure it to the pull handle. The pull handle was created with a 6 inch by 3 inch of card stock with rounded corners. After that I applied foam tape close to the slits (on the back side of striped panel), but not touching it and at the bottom so to create a stopper. I then trimmed the handle so that it only stood an 1/2 inch taller than the base of the card (the reason for having a shorter card base). For final construction, I added the sentiment so that it would be hidden by the Cool Dude, but seen when pulled up. Super fun… and not too hard. I hope you give this a try!
