You Move Me for Global Design Project

Over at Global Design Project, the challenge this week is an absolutely gorgeous colour combination that I couldn't ignore! I had to play along and I decided to make use of a really fun and unique stamp set and thinlit bundle called You Move Me, which has the unique feature of some images that actually appear to move when you raise and lower them behind the specially designed grid. I previously tried out the butterfly images here, but had not yet inked up the hummingbird, although hummingbirds are some of my favourite feathered friends. I thought that the colours in this week's challenge would really suit a hummingbird.  Here's the challenge banner:

And here's how my project turned out:

Now to get the full effect, you really have to see the action of the hummingbird in the grid so watch the short video below:

             

• I die cut the grid in a 3 3/4" square of Bermuda Bay cardstock, then punched a thumbhold in it using a 3/4" circle punch so I could grip the 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock holding the special hummingbird motion image, stamped in Night of Navy ink, and move it up and down to make the wings appear to flutter.
• The Bermuda Bay cardstock with the grid cut in it is mounted on the card front using Foam Adhesive Strips on the bottom and sides. This leaves room for the Whisper White piece to move up and down within it. When die-cutting the grid, it is imperative that you use the Precision Base Plate or you will not get a clean cut of the strips in the grid.
• The Bermuda Bay hummingbird, all the flowers, leaves and sentiments are all images from the You Move Me Photopolymer stamp set and they all, except the sentiments, have framelits to die cut them using the Move Me Thinlits that are part of the bundle.

You Move Me for Technique Nights

The theme of my Technique Nights this week is, of course, the new Annual Catalogue, and one product that I know is going to wow my class members is the You Move Me bundle from page 170. This is a fascinating set of stamps and thinlits that creates the illusion of fluttering wings. I've never seen anything quite like it before.

Quite apart from this fluttering feature, there are a lot of really cute images in this set and some two step stamping as well - flowers, butterflies and hummingbirds! But when you add in the movement feature, well... that just sends it over the top.  Take a look at this quick video showing the fluttering motion:

           

The colours featured in this card are Flirty Flamingo, Sahara Sand, and Sweet Sugarplum.

• You make the pocket for the card to slip inside using Foam Adhesive Strips on the two sides and the bottom of the Sahara Sand panel. By using the 1" Circle punch to punch a thumbhole, it make it easier to grasp the Whisper White panel and pull it out. By the way, you MUST use the Precision Base Plate to die cut the grid you use to view the fluttering butterfly through. The magnetic platform does not work at all!
• The fluttering wings are accomplished by two step stamping with the You Move Me stamp set, using Sweet Sugarplum for the larger butterfly image and Flirty Flamingo for the smaller one. The trick is in lining up the images using the head and the tail to get it right.
• I love the simplicity of the flowers from this set. They have a little tab on them that helps you align the centers in the right place by lining up the tabs on both stamps. And don't you think those tiny butterflies are adorable! Also, two step stamping as you can see.

• As you can see, I put another part of the sentiment on the top of the pull out card, so it's kind of a hidden message, as you flutter that butterfly out of the pocket to reveal it.
• And finally, that die cut butterfly, is so pretty! This is a set that you can have a blast with! Next time I'm going to try the hummingbird!!
