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

Swing cards, baby!

Don't get me wrong, I love Stampin' Up.  I was about to buy the new Circle Card Thinlits Die when I discovered that I could make a swing card on my Silhouette Cameo.  Instead of spending 30 some dollars I simply spent 99 cents! YIPEE!  Check out what I made.

I used the retired Sail Away stamp on the outside and the sentiment "go confidently in the direction of your dreams" stamp on the inside.  This would make a nifty guy graduation card.

For this card I used the Giant Pumpkin stamp by Hero Arts that I picked up at Goodwill.  I stamped the pumpkin in Versamark on Only Orange cardstock.  Then I heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  Now here's the cool part - I painted with bleach and water to make the yellow parts of the pumpkin.  It looks awesome and really pops.  I have been using a lot of bleach lately as you'll see in my next post.  For the inside I bought a scallop circle for the Cameo and cut it out and glued it in.  I LOVE how easy and quick and CHEAP it is to get designs for the Cameo.  No cartridges to buy!  Have an awesome night  - Heidi
