Light Up Card - Stamp With Laurie

My Mystery Birthday Card - a card with a manson and butler on it — My Mystery Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Mystery Birthday Card using the Murder Mystery Set by Kindred Stamps! Last week was my Hubby’s birthday! So, I decided to create for him an explosion light up card with characters from one of our favourite movies! Clue! I just knew he would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Mystery Birthday Card

For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I decided to put Wadsworth with a wrench hidden behind him on the front. The wrench was an extra one that I picked up at a game store selling one off pieces for board games. So fun! The other characters would go inside my card.

First, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers using the movie for reference. I added glossy accents to the knife, wrench, candlestick and revolver. I also used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the earrings of Mrs. Peacock and Miss Scarlett, and the belt buckle for Mrs. White.

Front of Card

Time to put everything together! The 13^th Hour Paper Pad by Kaiser Craft was perfect to create my spooky scene on the front with its embossed tree branches! I added behind my Mansion a glow in the dark moon with Crushed Curry ink brushed along the edges.

Next, I added So Saffron Vellum behind the windows of my Masion thus allowing the light to shine through when the EZ Light was activated. I die cut a hill and embossed it with the “push here” instructions. The hill allowed me to hide my light mechanism behind it. To decorate my card front, I added a couple of black glimmer bats and the wrench. The finishing touch was to add my coloured Wadsworth.

Inside of Card

Since I wanted to include a Clue boardgame on the inside, I searched online for a free printable one and found it on Pinterest. Have to love the internet for things like that! I pulled it into Microsoft Word, scaled it to 8” x 8” and printed it out on copy paper.

Once that was done, I folded the “boardgame” to create my explosion mechanism by following the instruction by Karen Titus. This was adhered directly to the card base.

Since the card was so bulky already, I adhered my characters directly to the “boardgame” by strategically placing them away from the folds. For a fun accent, I added a magnifying glass trinket to the centre of my board.

I used two sentiments from the stamp sets to complete my card on the inside.

Magical Napkin Fold Card a fun fold card with a wizard on the middle — Magical Napkin Fold Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Magical Napkin Fold Card using Wiz by Mo’s Digital Pencil. Recently, the son of family friends celebrated his 13^th birthday. Every year I try to make him an interactive card and this year I went with a Napkin Fold that he opens to reveal the wizard with a Push Button to turn the lights on the crystal ball. How fun is that!

The Details of My Magical Napkin Fold Card

I had coloured this image twice for another card. So, I had this one leftover and decided to use it for this birthday card. I used the same techniques for both cards. I will include a link to the other card with the instructions at the end of this post.

Glossy accents were added to the mystical crystal ball. I used a gelly roll pen on the mystical lightening arcing from the crystal ball. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the stars on his shirt, the gold band on his hat and the star hanging from his hat. To add some mystical particles, I used my splatter brush with Frost White All-Purpose Ink.

Next, I added the EZ-Light to the back of my coloured image placing them strategically with one behind the globe and the other two where the arcs of light ends. I secured them with scotch tape and added a lot of black dimensionals around the lights so that the light was focused where I wanted them, and the mechanism was hidden. The “Push” button was created on my computer and printed out. It was then coloured with my Copic markers to match the globe.

Napkin Fold

Once that was done, it was time to create my napkin fold card base. The papers were perfect for my magical theme especially the little wizards and spell sayings! Tip: cut the squares first and then cut the on the diagonal. I made sure that the words lined up on the diagonal cuts when I adhered them down.

Since my card was so thick, I need to create a belly band. So, I used more of the wizard paper along with stickers from the Pack. I punch two holes on the front and threaded the hemp cord through them.

For the back of the belly band, I used a doodle-pop sticker of a castle with some fireworks and the Birthday Boy sticker from the Pack.

Back of card with band holding it close — Back Belly Band

Next, I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink and the stars in Crushed Curry onto the white card stock that was for the written message. I also created an easel so that the card can stand up when displayed.

Since my card was so bulky already, I just added some Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins to match my mystical theme.
