I used the Possum stamp set as the star of this fun Shutter Card. I looks like a simple gate fold card on the front, but when you open it, the camera shutter opens to reveal another Possum on the inside.
I started by stamping the possum image onto a piece of Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Paper that was cut with the Square Double Stitched Dies. I then colored the image with Copic markers. The colors I used are listed at the end of this post. I also colored the single image and fussy cut it out.
The center of the card is made to resemble a camera shutter. I found a video on how to make it and I followed the directions to make this card. I used the Echo Park Happy Birthday Girl 6" x 6" paper pad. I used the Circle Double Stitched dies for the center cuts. I filmed a video of my making this card. I haven't done video's in quite a while, so it's quite unrefined.
The base card is cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The inside piece is cut to 5 1/2" x 3". The two side pieces are cut to 4" x 3 1/2".

I'm Jil Lebel from Kissimmee, Florida. I'm about 20 minutes away from Walt Disney World & take full advantage of that fact by visiting the parks all the time. I've been married to the love of my life Joey for ten years now. We have two grown sons & several cats & dogs. I started stamping about 25 years ago when I was pregnant with my first son Kane, when I worked in a craft store. I learned how to heat emboss a rubber stamped image over a toaster & I was hooked on card making! I was on the Posh Impressions Design team many years ago. I did samples, make & takes, demos & classes for many stamp stores in Central Florida. I love to work with a little bit of everything but all types of water coloring are my favorite. I have had a long love affair with Ai stamps. I bought some Ai watercolor stamps to make faux postage in the early 2000's & now I have the entire watercolor collection. I also love the humor & animated faces of the Ai characters & look to them for funny cards. I am delighted to be a part of the Ai design team!
