I know this says Happy Birthday but swap out the letter pressed sentiment and it’s a great Valentine’s Day card too! This card has lots of hearts and the cute little present in the center is shaker element filled with sweet sprinkle confetti. Learn more on the Spellbinders blog.
These awesome monochromatic cards have large shaker areas with layered stenciled backgrounds, die cut frames and are filled with fun beads in coordinating colors. These cards are quick and easy to create so you could make a bunch at once. Watch Lauren’s video tutorial on Scrapbook.com.
Using products from Concord and 9th Jennifer created a unique card design with a heart that pops up inside through an opening in the front. She’s sharing a video with a tutorial and lots of information about the new release. Visit the Jennifer McGuire Ink blog to watch.
These adorable stamped pups on paper airplanes are soaring in to bring some love on this slimline card from Laura. When you pull the tab at the bottom the color of the hearts change from white to red, so cool! Watch her how to video on the My Favorite Things blog.
Who knew Cupid was a cat!? This charming card from Caitlin uses stamps from Purple Onion with a stenciled cloud background and features a shaker element behind Cupid with a large die cut heart filled with shiny red heart confetti. I spotted this design on the caitlinannaleecards Instagram page.
This sweet card from Marine looks so yummy I could eat it up. It’s covered with breakfast food stamps from Lawn Fawn with a toaster in the center and when the tab at the top is pulled the waffle inside pops out! Watch her video tutorial over on the Lawn Fawn blog.
This darling pastel Panda design focuses on the inside of the card with the Panda and a big pile of hearts with a shadow box behind that is filled with tiny hearts on strings that spin and sparkle, so pretty! Learn more on the Mama Elephant blog.
Pull tabs seem to be very popular this year, here’s another, this time it’s an old fashioned typewriter and when the tap is puledl the paper comes out with the sentiment. Kristina even created a custom envelope to match the background of the card. Watch her tutorial on the K. Werner blog.
Cathy created two Valentine’s Day cards using a heart die, the open hearts created a background on one card and the cut out heart shaped pieces where used on a shaker panel card. This type of shaker uses a pouch that cover the enter front instead of using foam tape and acetate for the shaker section. Take a closer look at both cards on the CZ Designs blog.
This super sweet card features a stamped Quokka (an adorable animal from Australia) in a die cut box with balloons bursting out. Inside each balloon is a little shaker element. Again, this is birthday card but you can change the sentiment for Valentine’s Day. I came across this idea on the katscrappiness Instagram page.
I’ve saved one of the most amazing cards for last, when you press on this card it actually lights up!! Allison used stamps from Mo’s Digital Designs and lights from Chibitronics and will show you how to put it all together over on her blog, Your Memories with Ally.
I hope you’ve enjoyed all these wonderful Interactive Valentine’s Day Card ideas and will be inspired to try some of these fun techniques yourself!
