First I stamped sentiments from the Retro Hugs stamp set all over the front of my card. I used different colors so you could read all the sentiments and to add lots of color!
I topped the panel with the Oversized Hugs die cut from gold glitter and white cardstock. I added adhesive foam tape to the back of the sentiment to hold the gold twine behind it in place.
A few enamel dots in gold glitter help secure the threads so they stay secure. Finally I topped the "Hugs" sentiment with a pre-printed die cut subsentiments "inside" strip.
Here's the interactive part - what you see when you open the card. I've always been a little wary of interactive cards because they seem complicated to me, but this die was super easy. It did ALL The cuts and I just had to fold it and adhere it inside the card.
When this card is folded closed it's absolutely flat so no extra postage required to send your hugs through the mail!
