Woosh!
Greetings everyone! It's me again, Jessie Scott (@chevy.scott on IG), Guest Designing for Gerda Steiner Designs!
Today I'm sharing this super fun interactive card using Sportsy Santa. To make this interactive element, I used the (sadly) retired My Favorite Things Launch Party dies, but the newer Lawn Fawn Swish n' Pop will give you a similar effect if you have this die.
I am adhering the slightly smaller than A2 panel to a bright red card base. You want to keep the adhesive away from the moving parts and so using double-sided tape can be best to keep liquid glue from seeping into spots you don't want. I also had added a couple stopping strips of paper to control where the mechanism can move left to right for Santa. I learned this trick from Jennifer McGuire, peel off only enough of the tape release paper to make a pull piece. Fold each over so it will be accessible from outside the edge of the card when you place it down. I had to put some on the inside too, but I just bowed the card a little during placement so only the corners stuck a little while I got it straight. Pull the tabs when you're good and straight!
Don't forget to make your mark on the back of the card base! I have a nice one my mom ordered me on Amazon a while back, but I always add one of my snarky stamps from Technique Tuesday's
It's A Masterpiece Stamp Set.

WOOOOOOSH! I love how this Santa can come flying out from behind the snowbank and arrive just in time for Christmas!
Here's a video of him in action:
Hope you enjoyed this fun interactive!
See you again soon!
