Do you love an interactive card? You know one that does something a little extra special to get you involved? Well then you're going to love this hugs card made with supplies from Waffle Flower!
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. I cut the letters in rainbow colors and adhered them over the pink panel so they stand out more. 
When this card is folded closed it's absolutely flat so no extra postage required to send your hugs through the mail!
There's even a coordinating Inside Sentiments stamps set so you can choose the perfect sentiment for the inside. These Inside Sentiments are available for lots of occasions too. This is from the "Hugs" set.

Well, Jeanne, I'm on the Design Team for Creative Creases and it passes muster for me. I hope the rest of the team agrees. In this day and age, we all need those big HUGS.
