Magic Colour Slider Card

I love making cards that challenge my creativity and this one sure did but it was fun to put together.

I cased this design from the very clever Jennifer Frost www.jenniferfrost.blogspot.com, by following her simple video tutorial. You can view it here. The magic happens when you pull on the top tab and the cover slides up to reveal a colour version of the fairy.

I used the Fairy Celebration stamp set and the Garden Impressions designer series paper and matching card stock. The stamp set is so sweet, the images can be stamped and left uncoloured or you can colour the stamped images with Stampin' Up! blend markers or water colour them with the aqua painter which is what I've done here.

Fairy Celebration Stamp Set

Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Garden Impressions Cardstock

When using the aqua painter, stamp your image onto water colour paper with black StazOn ink as it is alcohol based and it won't run when the water is applied to it. The water colour paper is especially designed to hold the water and keeps the paper flat.

The Garden Impressions designer series paper reminds me of my favourite season spring. It is still so cold and rainy where I live so these designs are brightening my day. Hopefully the warm weather arrives soon!

If you love creating different styled cards, give Jennifer's tutorial a go and share your creation with me, I would love to see it! If you do share it, please tag Jennifer as the original creator. Thank you.

Easy Slider Card

Hello and welcome back to my blog. How are you? How have you been coping during these difficult times? My life sure is a roller coaster ride, home schooling two young children, one of whom has special needs.

First Frost - Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Today’s card is inspired by another card challenge - Freshly Made Sketches #372. I was excited to break out the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies for this one. I had purchased them before Xmas and have only just gotten around to using them. It is a beautiful stamp set and one of my faves as I love florals. The Frosted Floral designer series paper co-ordinates beautifully, the patterns are so colourful and printed on shiny matte paper. Other supplies that I used are: Card stock - Tranquil Tide, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz Ink - Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz. Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Tranquil Tide. I added some texture to my card base and front panel with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, and dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fine tip glue pen was perfect for adhering the fine die cut branches on to the card base. Purchasing the First Frost stamp ...
