Creating an Interactive Up & Down Card | August Release Sneak Peek!

[@secretmonkey8009]

I LOVE this die set. Instructions were hard to understand at first because I couldn't picture how it worked but as my experience with mechanisms that make things move grew, it now makes perfect sense. Making interactive cards to delight and surprise my friends and family is one of my favorite things to do. I've found that broadening my experience, imagination and mixing and matching other stamp/die sets this mechanism can be used in countless ways. Thank you for this awesome video :)

[@franticstamper9342]

Laura, you are simply amazing!!! Your interactive mechanisms are really top notch and your instructions are flawless. You get an A+++++ from me!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you! ☺️

[@elainechapman-smith4617]

You are amazing. I can't wait for these to become available so I can act like a child again & play with these cards.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Aaaw, that's so sweet of you! Thank you very much! ☺️

[@angelabuenafeYT]

This is just adorable. I love that MFT has something new every month.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you, Christi! I hope we never run out of ideas. 😁

[@dww786]

The continual, innovative additions to the product line is one of many reasons why MFT is MFC (My Favorite Company). You're really carving yourselves out a niche in this interactive space. Way to go! :o)

Awesome Laura! Thanks for all the information. T x

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank YOU, Tracey! :)

[@vickicervantes1817]

Both of these cards are so adorable, I can't wait to get them for my 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren!!!!! I do have a total of 29 grandchildren, But I don't know how the older boys will feel if I give them one. Although I know my granddaughters will love them since they remember when their grandpa that's no longer with us and I would take them to Lagoon and go on the rides : )

[@micheleslater5159]

I love interactive cards and can't wait for this die to be released. Thanks for the great video

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks! That's so sweet of you! 🙂

[@annettetinworth7423]

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much, Annette! 😄

[@dawnmulder3540]

Love it! What type of brad did you use? Is there a supply list? Thanks!

[@ExpressionsWithHeart]

fabulous! Thank you so much for the video!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you for watching and commenting! ☺️

[@ExpressionsWithHeart]

@@Laura_Dovalo welcome! I know, it's a lot of work!

[@karennelson7208]

I would have learned how to do this interactive card if you slowed down during the process. It's hard to catch all of the instructions. I do love the concept and the card is beautiful.

[@bunnylands916]

I change the settings to slow the speed and display captions if I'm trying to write down detailed instructions for a card. (The captions aren't always an accurate transcription, but depending how slow the speed is, the audio can be hard to understand.)

[@karennelson7208]

@@bunnylands916 fine if you have a computer and not just a phone to view.

[@secretmonkey8009]

I just used this die set with Art Impressions Girlfriend Collection- Dancers and after fiddling with size and proportion measurements it turned out so adorably cute. I LOVE this die set!!!

[@libraryllady]

That is big fun

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Yes, such fun products! :)

[@DavenportDecals]

Adorable

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you! 🙂

[@teresevanderhaar9310]

Does all these pieces come together ( in the Die) all do we have to buy extra stuff? Thank you

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Dear Terese, The interactive die set is complete, but does not include the Carousel dies, if that's what you are asking... You can however use it with a bunch of different stamps that you might already have in your stash. 😁

[@teresevanderhaar9310]

Laura Dovalo oh good ( no I understand i have to buy the die) you added several different pieces( things) to the interactive card- i just wanted to make sure . I love making cards but it’s expensive!!! Thank you so much

[@SM-rp5xd]

where do you get those spin and slide discs?

[@ptreasures923]

Great question! I too have the same question. Shame Laura didnt answer and Im not sure where I can get them or whether I can use substitute for those.

[@SM-rp5xd]

@@ptreasures923 Oh good news, I found them on the mft site: mftstamps.com/products/spin-slide-discs?_pos=1&_sid=b2f5afdb8&_ss=r. You can also find them on amazon for a little more $ but free shipping if you're a prime member: www.amazon.com/My-Favorite-Things-Slide-Discs/dp/B01M5K0YCI/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2QKG7168CFCP8&dchild=1&keywords=mft+spin+and+slide+discs&qid=1590855155&sprefix=mft+spin+%26+slid%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-2.

[@karenbassie5948]

Awesome ,very gelpful. cheers /////

[@ann5376]

What size is the paper?

[@janesprando3638]

Wow! Nothing else needs to be said!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks, Jane! 😄

[@LeenaLellu]

The design of the die is bad, when you need to modify the mechanism by cutting it with scissors, to get it to work the way you want it to. :( Also, the hole between the two slits is missing and you need to make it yourself with other dies that you have.. Good idea with this die, but bad design.

[@cutiebear3181]

I wish you show all the material needed and explain one by one before even started to assemble. I appreciate the video, but honestly it’s really hard to understand what you’re doing.
