Last Friday was my son-in-law’s 40th birthday, so I made him an interactive card inspired by a class from Therese Calvid at the Card Maker Success Summit. Therese used a Spellbinders car, but I used what I had: a Couture Creations Holden Commodore Ute.
I die-cut and assembled the car, then ink-blended a sunny background using a circle mask (and the negative mask for the glow), finishing with a few clouds and birds. The fun part is the folding mechanism—when the card slides out of the envelope, the car pops up from the base.
It arrived right on his birthday (thanks, NZ and Aussie Post!), and my daughter said Andrew was delighted—especially that I’d actually written a message inside. It’s a running family joke after the year I sent him a completely blank card.
Thanks for stopping by.

I loved Therese's video, but will probably never make a card like that. Yours is wonderful, Dawn! I once sent my cousin a card with the inside blank and now I usually double check myself. At least family can laugh about it!
Such a fun pop-up car, Dawn - love the background too!!
