Have a Blast! Action Wobbler Card | ft MFT Stamps

Hi everyone, thank you for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day.

Today I have a cute card and video tutorial on how to make this action wobbler card using the "Space Explorer" set from My Favorite Things.

Or watch in HD on YouTube!!

Please check out the video above to see how I put this card together and to watch the action wobbler at work! I also talk about all the Distress Inks and Copic markers I used to create this card.

To begin, I created the galaxy background using Distress Inks. I then splattered it with clean water from my Distress Sprayer then again with Copic Opaque White for the stars.

I stamped the images from MFT "Space Explorer" set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 110lb Copic-friendly cardstock and cut them out using the Brother 2 Scan N Cut - you can see a video of the Scan N Cut in action here.

I coloured the images with Copic markers then put my card together. I used an action wobbler to put my little spaceman in place.

I stamped the greeting using Memento Tuxedo Black ink so that my blacks would match throughout the card.

To finish off this card, I added clear Wink of Stella over the window of the ship and on the spacesuit, then covered the window and the buttons with Glossy Accents by Ranger.

I hope you like today's card and are inspired to create something of your own. If you haven't already, please follow me on the right side bar, over on Facebook and now on YouTube! Drop me a line in the comments section below and let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday | Mission Control ft. MFT "Space Explorer"

Hi everyone, thank you for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day.

When I was able to get my hands on this set from MFT I was over the moon (pun intended). I mentioned before (several times) that I find it difficult to make cards for men, but just as difficult are cards for the boys. This set is fantastic for either gender, but it is really nice to have a set that can be easily used for guys.

To begin, I stamped this little spaceman and the planet from MFT's "Space Explorer" set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of 110lb Copic-friendly cardstock. I coloured all the images with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. I would normally have used my Brother 2 Scan N Cut, but my craft room is kind of a mess right now and I was in a hurry.

Next I created the galaxy background by sponging on Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron Distress Ink, I then used Chipped Sapphire to fill in the spaces between the coloured areas and finally Black Soot over the top, ensuring that it was darkest around the edges. I used my Distress Sprayer to splatter clean water and patted that dry with a paper towel. Once the panel was mostly dry I splattered Copic Opaque White to create all the stars.

When the panel was completely dry, I prepped the lower left corner with my powder tool and stamped the greeting from the same set with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.

I adhered my galaxy panel to the front of a standard A2 sized card base, then added the planet. For the spaceman, I used a small action wobbler to tack him down. So when you touch him he wiggles back and forth. Once I sort out videos, I'll be sure to include (at least) one with an action wobbler. They add such a great interactive element to a card!
