Sounds fun, huh? Hope you can play along. Here's my take on the challenge. I wanted to make another card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. TCP is one of the Super Sponsors, so be sure to check out all the blog hop details here.

I must admit, I'm interactive card challenged. My brain just doesn't think that way. Good thing Alma has lots of videos for her dies to comfort those of us who need a little handholding along the way!  I knew I wanted to make a little llama coffee card, so started by stamping the llama from Spit Happens on taffy cardstock and then coloring with Copic markers. I also stamped the little coffee cup from the set and cut the stamped images out with the coordinating Alpacas dies. Love how the die cuts out the little hooves, so I could tuck the little cup of coffee in there.

For the interactive part of the card, I thought it would be fun to have my coffee loving llama sliding through the clouds in her freshly brewed heaven. So I pulled out the Slider Die, watched the tutorial video to get a sense of where I was going, and basically followed it to the letter to make a little pull-tab slider.  On the pull tab, I stamped the Insert Coffee to Begin sentiment from Freshly Brewed Heaven.

I selected some cloud paper from my stash, then added a bunch more clouds to hide the little slider portion on the card using the Cloud Cutups die. I love these clouds. I sponged around them lightly with tumbled glass distress ink and then accented with some Nuvo glitter drops. I added the Freshly brewed heaven sentiment, hand cutting in a similar cloud shape to finish things off.
