I have so many friends that will love this type of card (for obvious reasons!) can’t wait to buy it!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

LOL, thanks! :)

[@vleaf]

Thank you for the drawn out directions as well as demonstrating. That really helps.

[@MichellesPaperObsession]

OMG!!! This is the BEST KIT EVER!! HAPPY 13TH ANNIVERSARY MFT! You are definitely where I find MY favorite things. Thank you for creating such FUN stamps, dies, and lots of other things. I will be buying this for sure, I am a red wine drinker and I’m always looking for stamps to create fun cards for my friends!! 😉

[@Laura_Dovalo]

I totally agree, Michelle! I've been an MFT fan for many years! 🤗

[@suedipasquale502]

Wow very creative. I love this card. Thanks Susan.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you very much! ☺️

[@SassyKGirl]

I really like the creativity and thought that you use creating this card, Laura! This is a must have stamp/die set for me....I can just see so many different ways I can utilize the sentiments and items. I am totally jazzed for this set to be released! Thanks for providing such clear instructions!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, Kris! Yes, this die set is very versatile. Can't wait to see what you come up with! :)

[@UsernameBarbF]

Wow, I'm sooooo glad I bought this mechanism (it's on its way to me right now!). I bought it to have 2 somethings kiss (people, llamas, giraffes, etc.) and now I see it can do this too! More "bang" for my buck!! Thanks so much for this great video!!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Yes, that's a great idea! Good luck!

[@UsernameBarbF]

@@Laura_Dovalo Turns out I had replied too soon--I had ordered the Twist and Turn Interactive die set. BUT...I've remedied my mistatement by ordering the Let's Toast (with a twist) card KIT which has this die in it as well as the Let's Toast glasses, WOOO HOOO! Again, thank you!

[@megs1768]

Your coloring is sooooo realistic! What a cool interactive card!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, those glasses were fun to color!

[@kelleybarkei2738]

@@Laura_Dovalo How do you color the glasses?

[@ribbit54]

This interactive die is so much fun to use. Instead of glueing eight circle die cuts together I used a circle paper punch and punched straight through the middle of a foam dot. It worked perfectly and was a time saver.

[@leannepowers3131]

I love this idea. It is so clever and you make it look so easy to use. I will certainly be getting the mechanism die set

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks, that's so kind of you! ☺️

[@joniworx]

What a cool interactive piece, and your instructions were very clear! Thanks for the inspiration! And wow...your coloring!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks! That's so sweet of you! ☺️

[@debbiel890]

wow this is clever - love it - you make it look so easy and simple

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you very much, Debbie! :)

[@lynn48henry]

Your instructions were so clear, and now I want to try this technique. Your tips will make it easier. I love the card!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment! 😄

[@enelson3293]

I love the twist mechanism you've designed, as well as the cute drink glasses and wonderful sentiments. The instructions on this video are excellent so I look forward to making my own creations with these new elements. Ingenious!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much for your sweet and generous comment! ☺️

[@MargaretMcGee1]

So awesome. Love this card. July is my birthday month - I celebrate it all month long. Like the versatility of the mechanism. Wonderful instructions, like your humor. TFS

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much and Happy Birthday! It's my birthday month too and almost all of my July cards have been B-day cards! 😁

[@amypeacock7205]

Love that we now have tie to make this assembly so much easier. Bravo!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

[@judiwerner6259]

You have explained what could have been a difficult card so beautifully, I’m confidant I can do it myself!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you! I'm so relieved... I wanted to explain it as thoroughly as possible. 😅

[@iano.7367]

Beautiful card. Love the coloring you did on the glasses, the almost look real. This interactive die set looks like a lot of fun.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, that's so kind of you, Mirjam! :)

[@SharonPerehudoff60]

Awesome card. Have to agree with Susan Thibaud, on how you did your instructions which were very clear and understanding. Thanks for sharing.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much, Sharon. This is such a versatile die set but it does have a little bit of a learning curve... :)

[@nikkic.7935]

Love this card! Your directions were wonderfully detailed.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much, Nikki! 😃

[@kellihull7600]

OMG THIS IS AWESOME! Your coloring is FABULOUS! I would LOVE to see this as a shaker card so the “wine” moves with the clink! I have to SEE it because I’ll be honest! Interactive cards are THE BEST but don’t match my patience level LOL

[@Laura_Dovalo]

LOL, I would love the wine to move with the clink as well! 😁

[@janesprando3638]

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much, Susan! ☺️

[@lizford2498]

This is a great sneak peek and very instructive on this new mechanism. I really like how you put the demo sheet in for different options on range of motion. That is a great help. Does it matter which way the brads face? I noticed that it looked like a few were facing out and one facing in. Thanks for the video!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, Liz. Yes, as I mention in the video, if the rotating elements are near each other, it's best that the brads closest to the pulltab are facing downwards. That way their legs won't snag on the pull tab. :)

[@paulynevandersloot5677]

I like it!! Thank you!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you! 😊

[@anjanowackadeklopp761]

Laura, this is great! Thank you.

[@mariannegotze1450]

Clever. Thanks for sharing.

[@michellerenee612]

Hi. I recently purchased the dies for this card. It would be nice if you could add graphics to the video at the beginning showing the materials needed to make and how many times you need to cut the different elements. Also, which stamp set did you get the “pull” stamp from? Thank you.

[@carolprice5657]

Ok love card !! Making it for a wedding shower card but, for some reason my wine glasses will not move . Watched your video about 50 times and still can't get it to work. I attached the wine glasses to the 2 mini brads .

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Hmmm, I wonder what's happening there... Did you use the donut pieces? Is the pull tab moving or is it completely stuck?

[@carolprice5657]

All my parts are moving freely and used the donuts to.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

@@carolprice5657 Carol Price If the pieces are moving, but your glasses aren't rotating, then you probably didn't leave enough of an angle for the connector pieces to rotate. Check out the sketch at minute 5... 🤔 This set requires a little bit of experimenting, but is so much more versatile than the others. 😁 I'll show you another, easier way to use it soon... 🙂

[@carolprice5657]

Thank you so much I will try it with more of tilt and looking forward to seeing another video. I love watching your channel you do beautiful work

[@Laura_Dovalo]

@@carolprice5657 Thank you very much, Carol! ☺️

[@kelleybarkei2738]

How do you paint the liquid in the glasses?

[@Laura_Dovalo]

I just googled a picture of a wine glass and tried to recreat the shadows and shine with my Copic markers and Prismacolor pens. But there are a bunch of Copic coloring tutorials on this subject here on KZbin. :)

[@sandrakusticuzur8665]

Wow

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks, Sandra! 😄
