2 Interactive cards ~ light up and camera shaped pop up cards

Today, I am sharing two different interactive cards.  One is a light-up card and the other is a camera shaped card, both interactive.

Sentiment:  Smile.  Say Cheese!

This slim card opens and closes sideways, keeping the camera shape intact.  The card folds flat for envelope mailing.   The above photo shows the card folds opened slightly so that it stands up on its own.  With layered cuts and folds, this card came to life.

Here is another look at the camera card.

When the camera is pulled open even more, it reveals a pop-up girl.  She is tucked inside until the card is fully opened and then she pops up from right to left.  How cute is that?  These two cards were some of my projects made at the Unstoppable craft retreat in Athens, during one of my classes there.  

Here is another one of the projects made there.  This one is an interactive light-up card.  It includes tiny EZ-lights behind the girl and hearts.  The first photo shows the card without pressing on the lights.

If you press the "press me" area, the camera lights appear looking like a flashbulb.  It lights up when pressed.  How fun is that?

These got me inspired to make more interactive type cards.

I want to give a shout out to Amanda Stevens with Pear Blossom Press for the fun class demonstration and for sponsoring her EZ-Light.  Also, thanks to Kindred Stamps for the sweet Oh Snap stamp set shown on both cards.

These projects do not include a video tutorial.
