Live Life at Full Throttle interactive wiper card for High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Hello! I'm so super excited today because this is my first blog post as part of the High Hopes Design Team. I'm really happy to join such a fabulous group of talented ladies and create projects using High Hopes Rubber Stamps! I hope you'll like what I have in store!


Today's card is a super fun one; it's a wiper card! This was my first time making an interactive card like this. I've been seeing them all over the place, and I thought that this would be the perfect way to showcase the Super Speed car stamp (which you'll see in a little bit). I combined it with the Space Scape background stamp and the Live Life sentiment stamp for a super cool, out-of-this-world card!



I started by stamping the background in a waterproof black ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock. I colored it in with my Arteza Real Brush Pens and kept the coloring bright but pretty simple. The real star of this card is the wiper action when you pull the sides. I added some small "Pull" tabs on the sides of the card just to help the recipient figure out how to work it. This "Pull" stamp comes from the Push Here stamp set by Lawn Fawn - a super handy stamp set to have if you make a lot of interactive cards.

Take a look at my video below to see the card in action!


As little extras, I added some silver Stickles and dots with a silver metallic Gelly Roll pen to give the illusion of a glittery, sparkling sky. I also went over the yellow stars with my Wink of Stella glitter pen just for a little more sparkle (because you know I love sparkle!).


For the sentiment, I stamped it with Versamark ink then heat embossed it in Ranger Super Fine Black embossing powder on a small piece of vellum. I chose to do this because I wasn't sure that the black embossed sentiment would stand out enough on its own, but I didn't want to completely cover up the background. Vellum was the perfect solution!


I'll write a little note on the back of the card, where I mounted a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock. I think I'll turn this into a birthday card for my nephew who's turning 6 next month. He'll get a real kick out of it!


Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'll say it again that I'm so happy to be part of the team! Be sure to check out the High Hopes InstagramFacebook, and Pinterest pages for more inspiration! Enjoy your weekend!
