Lots of Heart Week is coming January 11 – 17! All next week we will feature love-themed inspiration by our talented team of designers, with videos and daily giveaways! I know you will be inspired to create and send lots of love to your family and friends! We hope you will join us!

Mimi created the cutest interactive card featuring the critters of A Mole Lot of Love! She used Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On to pop one of the moles up from the ground in this adorable garden scene!


Mimi altered the Meadow Backdrop: Portrait to create this clever interactive scene. By combining two backdrops she made more layers and was able to conceal the image that the pull tab reveals!


When you pull the tab, one of the moles pops up with a patch of dirt on his head, it’s just so cute!


Mimi colored all the images from A Mole Lot of Love using the coordinating Coloring Stencils!


Here are Mimi’s directions to recreate her fun design:

  • Die cut 1 full Meadow Backdrop: Portrait, then die cut one more Meadow Backdrop: Portrait, trimming off the TWO bottom meadow parts separately.
  • Mask all the outer stitched areas and ink blend the grass and dirt with Distress Oxide ink in Walnut Stain, Ground Espresso and Cracked Pistachio.
  • Die cut 2 Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, one for the sky background and one for the back panel of card. Ink the sky background using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
  • Then adhere one of the extra meadow panels behind the full meadow backdrop to create a three-layered meadow and adhere the sky background behind that.
  • With the second bottom meadow die, make a horizontal slit with a craft knife for the mole to pop up.
  • Slide the front facing mole image through the slit, making sure it moves up/down smoothly.
  • Then assemble and adhere the mole image onto the Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On mechanism, sliding the image through the slit. Adhere the remaining meadow layer, matching it to the meadow backdrop, to hide this image. Pull the tab up to make sure the mole moves up and down freely.
  • And then use foam strips to adhere to the back panel.
  • Stamp the image with the mole in the dirt and mask the mole part. Colored and die-cut the dirt with the hands and adhere it a little below the slit. Double check with the pull tab to make sure that the mole is “popping up” from the dirt and add a small dirt patch on top of the mole’s head.
  • Finish the card with more images/sentiments from the set and pull the tab to see the cute mole “pop-up” from the dirt!

Mimi is back with another creative card design to delight and inspire you! Her adorable scene makes for a very “capy” day!


The Capybaras are having so much fun in the water! Mimi combined Meadow Backdrop: Portrait with Riverside Backdrop: Landscape to extend the scene for these cute critters!


She created movement in the water by white embossing the water ripples from Toadally Awesome! Such a fun detail!


I love the capybaras in the tub! Mimi trimmed the height of the Build-A-Barrel: Apple to create a clever shallow pool!

Thank you so much for sharing this delightful card design with us, Mimi!

Renata’s Sweet Build-A-Bunny Card


We invite you to join us for our next Create with Us Live event on May 6th at 4:00pm PT! Hosted by Kelly Marie and Jenn, join us as we create two adorable cards featuring Backyard Bird Feeder. You can create along — or just pop in to say hi! — on YouTube Live. Click HERE and tap the notification bell to be notified when we go live! We hope to see you there!

Happy Monday! Today’s inspiration by Renata is so full of cuteness you just have to smile! She created a sweet card for grandma with our adorable Build-A-Bunny Lawn Cuts set! It’s a perfect design for Mother’s Day!


Renata set the scene using a Merman inked Cloudy Stencil background layered with a Meadow Backdrop: Portrait. She cut the meadow from Bitsy Blooms petite paper before inking the edges and tucking in flowers and grass.


Next, she die-cut all the Build-A-Bunny and Build-A-Bunny Accessories pieces (see the supply list below for the cardstock colors she used), assembled the bunny and added all the details. Isn’t he just the sweetest? Then she cut a Stitched Rectangle Frame from more Bitsy Blooms paper to contain all the cuteness!


And then Renata combined three Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment sets to add the thoughtful sentiments. On the inside she stamped a greeting from Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Bunny Puns. And finally, she white embossed a greeting from Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Family and Spring on a Noble Fir wavy banner from Shadow Box Card Ocean Add-On for the front of the card.

This card design is so sweet, Renata! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
