Interactive Slider Baby Shower Card

Well hey there, crafty friends!  I sure hope you had a wonderful Christmas!  Did you get any crafty goodies?!  I hope so!!

Today, I’m sharing a Baby Shower card!  I love interactive cards and the Slider Pop-up Dies make it so easy to make one quickly!

To create this card, I have blended some gorgeous Catherine Pooler blues on my cutouts from the Slider Pop-up Dies . Next, I’m spritzing the ink with water.

I’ve stamped my images from the Beary Big Heart and Chimply the Best stamp sets.  Now, I’m ready to start coloring the images with Copic markers!

To create my leaves, I am using both the Amazonian Leaves and Forest Leaves Dies.  To color the leaves, I used Limoncello and Tiara inks.  I am gluing my leaves, sequins, and monkey on using Glubert Glue.

Using the Classic Sentiments stamp set and the Chimply the Best stamp set, I’ve created my sentiment on a piece of white cardstock. 

Voila!  So easy and fun!  Plus, it will make a great Baby Shower card that is sure to be gushed over!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you’ve enjoyed this post as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it with you!!  Xx, Amanda

I assembled my card using 3D foam squares and liquid glue.

Now, onto my 2nd card!

To make this card, I stamped my images from the Who Let the Dogs Out, Hot Diggity Dog and Special Delivery Stamp Sets. I colored my images with Copic makers again. For my background, I blended the background using Chiffon and Tiara and the Marvellous Mountains Stencil.

Believe Slimline Blended Cards

Hello all you crafty people! I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I guess it’s time to start thinking about Christmas cards now! I can’t believe how quickly Christmas will be here!

Today, I’m excited to share some slimline cards I made using some products from the November Subscription Box!

The Subscription Box came with some Maker Forte Perfect Blend Slimine Mini Strips. These are made specifically for Distress Ink and Oxide blending, so the colors go on super smooth!

For the green background, I blended Lucky Clover, Twisted Citron, and Black Soot. Once I was finished blending, I spritzed the card front with water.

For the red background, I used Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral, and Black Soot. Again, I misted some water on it to create a fun effect.

The November Subscription Box also had a “Believe” stencil included! This stencil is the perfect size for a slimline card! I used some embossing paste with the stencil to create a textured, 3 dimensional look. I used a white slimline card base to frame the card fronts.

These cards were so easy to make, but are so beautiful and elegant! They’d be perfect holiday cards to make in bulk, don’t you think?

The November box isn’t available now, but if you want to see the Subscription Box Options, you can click here to sign up for the December box! You can also check in December to see if the November box is available as a One-Off Box!

I can’t wait to see what the December box has in store for us! It’s always so exciting to see that package waiting for me in my mailbox! I love a good surprise!

Thanks again for stopping by my blog today! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Xoxo, Amanda
