Hi there! Today’s video shares how to create interactive cards that have a fun pop up surpriseĀ for the recipient. This post is also a part of the Hero Arts 2018 catalog release blog hop and I am excited to share some of their fun new products (more info at the end of this post)!
(Looking for anything that I used in the video? All of the supplies are linked with images to multiple stores at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used when possible. Watch the full video HERE in HD!)
For the first card, I used the Mouse Tea party stamp set and created a simple scene with some of the smaller mice (I wanted to keep the outside of the cards pretty simple to make the inside the focal point).
To create the interactive portion, I cut out stripe from a separate sheet of cardstock and created a fold to make a place where the image can sit (better explanation in the video). When the card opens this little mouse stands up!
On the second example, I used the Woodland Tea Party stamp set to create a similar scene. I really quickly added color to the images using Copic markers.
For the inside of this card, I used an action wobbler to create a pop upĀ image that shakes around.
Although both of these cards have interactive piecesĀ on the inside, They fold down flat and are able to easily go through the mail.

Love the CAS cards. Those images are simply adorable. I see that you’re a dog lover, so I have to share about the hedgehog, I had a dog named Indigo (who’s no longer with us) & her favorite toy was a stuffed hedgehog. I’m gonna have to get that stamp to honor her. Thanks!
Very cute! Love the pop-up element.
Very cute, CAS cards!
I think these are awesome, especially because the fronts are so CAS and the insides are a sweet surprise! Everyone loves interactive cards, not just kids! I’ve seen grown men fiddle with the action wobbler on a card for 20 minutes in sheer wonder that we’re able to do that on a “homemade” card! Gotta love it!
Your cards are so adorable !!
