Magical Friendship Week - Sorting Hat and Wizardly Houses

Magical Friendship Week continues! This week, the Design Team from Witt & Sass Stamp Company partnered with the Kindred Stamps Design Team to create projects featuring the wizarding world!

For my second card this week, I created a fully interactive card. On the front, the Sorting Hat announces your house. The Reveal Wheel allows you to turn the wheel, and all four houses are available. (I'm a Ravenclaw!) I created the front panel with Distress Oxides and textured them using Tonic Mica Mists (gold and silver). The Sorting Hat, table, and house letters are all popped up with foam, although it's hard to tell in the photo.

Your card recipient may think the interactive feature is finished, but when s/he opens the card, all of the house mascots pop out!

The inside mechanism is called a Pivot Pop Up, so the panels fold flat when you close the card. I used icons from the Witt & Sass Magical Creatures Stamp Set and the Kindred Stamps Students of Magic and Wizard Friends Stamp Sets to create the patterned paper for the inside panels. There is space to write a short message to your card recipient on the white panel at the bottom.

How cute are these mascots? I think Pytherin is my favorite. He just looks so cuddly, even though he's a snake!
