Slider Cards?

I got an ad in the mail from US Cellular for the new Samsung Galaxy S5.  The ad shows a phone on the front with the screen cut-out and you pull the inside paper through to change the screen's picture.  It was very cool so I thought I can do that!  Here, after much frustration, are the end results.  I may post directions later, please let me know if you are interested.

This is the view closed. Stamps used: Gorgeous Grunge, LOL from Hero Arts and some birthday sets from Papertrey Ink.

The view open. The "screen" changes.

Another try with brown embossing powder and shiny, girly paper. Not sure about this version. 

Above is closed and below is open.

An all Stampin' Up version.  This was tricky because I had to cut the window out twice and cut the frame by hand.  Very time consuming!

My last one closed and then open.  These fit nicely in a #10 envelope as they are 8 1/2" long.  Hope you like them. - Heidi

Background Basics

In keeping with the layout from my previous card - I thought I'd make a "Stampin' Up" version.  I am a demonstrator and I have several friends that are also demonstrators so I like to make cards that they could copy or get ideas from.

Card Size: 5 X 7

Cardstock: Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake.

Inks: Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Brocade Blue and Baked Brown Sugar.

Stamps: Backyard Basics, Gorgeous Grunge and Off the Grid.

Accessories: blender pen, paint brush, Backyard Basics die set.

Willow Leaf Card

Yesterday I spent a good deal of time messing around making this card.  I don't think it turned out half bad and I would have to say that it was out of my comfort zone.

This is a 5 X 7 card.  I had to go with a bigger size because the willow leaf stamp from PSX was so tall.  I used Handsome Hunter, Wild Wasabi, Old Olive inks.  The background uses Off the Grid and Gorgeous Grunge and the sentiment is Phrases 2 from Tim Holtz. Have a great day - Heidi

World Card Making Day Thank You Blog Hop!

As a winner of Papercrafts magazine's World Card Making Day contest we are doing a Thank You blog hop. I am not sure how to do this and I worked third shift last night (YAWN), so bear with me.

The original Hop starts at Papercrafts Magazine just click HERE 

Hopefully you came here via Erin Lee Schreiner's blog.

Below is the card that I made for World Card Making Day

My "thank you card" is made with the stamp set and die combination I received from Lil Inker.  I am a tool junkie and I love a good stamp and die combo.  This card uses the Spot On set and the connected circles dies from Lil Inker.

Someone wrote in my comments that the above card was a nice CAS.  It may very well be and I apologize if it is.  I looked through my Lil Inker Pinterest board and found cards similar to the above card, but not the exact same thing.  Either way I would like to share two more cards that I made using products that I won in the World Card Making Day Contest.

I told you previously that I am a tool freak.  I love the
Sizzix Framelits Triple Circle Flip-its die.  

On the above card I used:

Spot On stamp set from Lil Inker (WCMD prize)

Daphne's Closet 6 X 6 paper pad from Lawn Fawn (WCMD prize).

For this card I also used the Sizzix Framelits Triple Circle Flip-its die.
The paper is Wonderful Day 6 X 6 paper pad from Fancy Pants (WCMD prize)
The stamps are from Tim Holtz and called Phrases 2.

Now onto Ilina Crouse's blog to see her beautiful cards.  Thank you for visiting and please come again!

Have a great day - Heidi
