Floating Panel with Bella & Friends

Hello and welcome!

It’s an interactive card today.  This is a variation of what I call a “Pushmi-Pullyu” card. 

In this kind of mechanism, you pull on one tab and another slides out at the same time – or that’s the usual arrangement.  The two sliding panels are attached to an endless belt of plastic so that when one is pulled, the other is pushed in the opposite direction.

I saw this idea on a channel called Insideoutjeans and I thought it was brilliant!  I’d never thought of attaching a stamped image directly onto the plastic belt before - and I love how it works!

Here’s how I made it.

Oh, and this card is made in honour of a colleague’s new spaniel puppy.  The stamp set I used is Bella and Friends and the puppy (who is so adorable) is also called Bella.  I just had to make this card in her honour, don’t you agree?

Keep crafting!

It's magic...

Hello and welcome!   Today I've been making a magic slider card.  

It starts off a bit plain and uninteresting, but pull the tab and..

It's magic!

Here it is in action.  If you don't know the secret, the effect is - well, quite magical.  The Magical Day stamps were just begging to be used to make this card, don't you think?

Here's the tutorial.  

I used my Stamparatus to help me, but if you haven't got yours yet (and it will be coming in the next annual catalogue) I recommend cutting your window sheet oversized and then trimming it down once you've done the stamping.  

Keep crafting!

It's Magic!

Hello bloggers, welcome to my blog.

If you've seen my videos on YouTube or followed this blog for any length of time, you might have spotted that I do enjoy my kinetic/action/fancy fold cards.  Today's project is a fun, "magic" slider card.  I used the little chick from the Honeycomb Happiness set from this year's Sale-A-Bration (which is running until the end of March)

If you don't know the secret, it's rather impressive to see the plain black outline picture of the chick turn full colour when pulled out of the frame.  I've made this kind of card previously, but this time I used a different way of constructing the slider which I found much easier than the previous method.  Here's the tutorial -

Thanks for visiting and I do hope you enjoyed this project. 

 Don't forget to get your Sale-A-Bration goodies by placing an order for £45 (before P & P) in my Stampin' Up! store before the end of this month- and if you're thinking of joining Stampin' Up!, Sale-A-Bration is a really good time as you get to choose extra items for your starter kit.  

Crafty Hugs,
