A Magic Slider Card

Hi, I hope your day is going REALLY well! I have been playing with "Slider" cards and today's card is another example of one of these cards. I saw Christina Griffiths demoing this on YouTube and thought 'd have a go too.

Here's the video that caught my eye:

So here's my version of this type of card!

I used Kaisercraft Grape weave cardstock for my card base, American Crafts white cardstock, clear acetate and a Jet Black Stazon ink pad.

The stamp is an old Flourishes image, sadly they are no longer in business. However, the artist Marcella Hawley has her own business called "Poppy Power" and the link in the ingredients to the stamps I am using is her variation of this stamp. You can also see it >>>> HERE.

The flower is Tattered Blossoms from Heartfelt Creations with glitter added.

The flourishes are from Arianna Blooms Lace die from Heartfelt Creations as well.

The ivy is a Sue Wilson die from the Greek Collection.






The rest of my photos just show the slider in action..........

Just a little pull on the tag and the magic starts to happen!
By The Way the white "Film Strip" on the side of the card is an old white peel off that I have had in my stash for ages.

I used a Fiskars one inch punch to make the tabs and pull space. I used a yellow eyelet and an eyelet setting tool so the ribbon could be added.

A little bit more and the flowers come into bloom. I coloured the images using a variety of Copics.

Voila!

Here's how I decorated the back of the card. The sentiment is from JustRite Stamps, the cardstock is from a Kasiercraft "Sweet Treats" 12 x 12 paper pad and finally the punch used on the back panel of the card is from Martha Stewart.

Triple Lattice Striplet Birthday Card in Cream and White

Hello how are you today?

I won't beat about the bush. Todays' card is an outright copy of one that I saw Sue Wilson make on YouTube recently. I loved it so I thought I'd give it a go!
Here is her video link to YouTube as she does show how to cut up Emma, one of her dies from the Frames and Tags Collection, to make a background.

Here it is, recognise it much????

I used American crafts White and Cream (AC calls it Vanilla) cardstock for the base and the rest of the card. Cream and white looks lovely together.

Just showing a close up of the lovely Lattice Window Striplet die - it cuts beautifully.

Here's the centre panel - check out the video to see how Sue "Chops up" the Emma - Frames and Tags die.

I used a Phill Martin stamp in the middle stamped using a Jet Black Stazon ink pad.  I find with the clear stamps they make a better impression, be sure to clean your stamps afterwards!

... and here's inside the card. I used a Fiskars sentiment stamp set again with the Jet Black Stazon ink pad.

This sentiment is from a Fiskars stamp set I purchased when I was in the states.

...... and there you have it. So easy to follow someone's design - no thinking about colour schemes and what will go with what especially when the Mojo is a bit dodgy!!!

The Primrose Fairy

G'day.
I hope this post today finds you safe, happy and well.

Tell me something - why is it that some cards take FOREVER to put together and others seem to have all their components rush out of their hiding places demanding to be included and the card comes together in a snap!

It is a situation I find myself in more and more frequently where the decision-making process can be ugly! Probably because of all the potential possibilities that exist from the plethora of stash items that make themselves known to you!!!!!!!

My card today follows the Fairies family so after this only one more to go from the stamps I have in my collection.

I call this one the Primrose Fairy (no creativity there huh!).

This was one of those cards that just happened and it all just fell onto the card almost by itself. I quite like the result.

How was it constructed?

I began with some lovely paper that I discovered in the Provo Craft, Paper Symphony, Crafter's Block 1. (I think this will be a favourite resource for a while!)

I matted it onto a Green patterned background paper from my stash (I think it was a sheet from HOTP vintage papers) onto white card stock.

I stamped my Fairy with a Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad and coloured her with a variety of Copic markers. I used one of the smaller dies from Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles (S4-319) and layered it onto the same green patterned paper I had use previously then adhered it to the card on the right.

I made a strip (about 1 inch wide) of pink paper and used a Fiskars Border punch on both sides to make it look pretty. I added a piece of pink seam binding down the middle. I again layered this strip onto the green patterned paper and stuck it to the left of the card.

The embellishments were a mixture; from my stash - a Happy Birthday label from HOTP, a pink brad, a couple of wired butterflies and a string of my recently purchased pearl ribbon from Craft Queen.

Here is a compilation of more detailed parts of my card.
I hand wrote a little sentiment inside the card which I really like.
It says:
"Count your life by smiles not tears, Count your age by friends not years".
