Interactive Clapping Hands Card

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #274 whose parameters included a thank you card, decoration colors, hands element, and tone on tone. I chose to make a shaped interactive card that features cartoon hands that clap.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase:  I started with an 4.125×11-inch piece of white cardstock folded in half to form a top-fold cardbase. Trace around cartoon hand pattern, cut and use a black marker to outline the hand’s features as shown in the video above.

Clapping Hands Pop-Up:  Die cut main twist pop-up mechanism, the panel strip and two flag arms from Karen Burniston’s Little Twist Pop-Up die set. (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked die set.) Install twist panel pop-up as shown in the video above. Cut two sets of arms from the Spellbinder’s Classic Mouse dies and add to the flag arms as shown in the video above.

Sentiments: Die cut “thank you” and glue inside card. Sketch in pencil and then cover with a fine tipped black marker the sentiments on the thumbs.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 size envelope (4.125x 5.5-inches).
