WMS Make it Move Challenge

Hi all, I'm a bit late to this little challenge over at Waltzingmouse Makes. The challenge is to create something with a moveable part, a sort of interactive card.

I've wanted to make one of these beanie hat gift card holders for a long time now, and I made one this evening in between cooking dinners and stuff!

I got the details on how to make this giftcard holder at Carolinas Creative Pad.

Here is the card closed:


And here it is opened, so cute!


A little close up of the flowers. I went around the edges with a bit of antique Linen, and used some Prima gems and a pearl brad to secure the top of the hat.


So sorry for the bad photos, it's pouring with rain here and the light is so bad!

I took the inspiration for the colours from the Dynamic Duos challenge this week, which is an open challenge to use a past colour combo, and I have chosen Soft Suede and Crumb Cake from Week 37

I have of course used WMS Heirloom Patterns for the design on my beanie hat, stamped in Sahara Sand on Crumb Cake card, the trim is Soft Suede card and the flowers from WMS Sewing Box Hugs are in Crumb Cake and soft Suede card.

Thanks for stopping by, stay warm and dry!
