Sherri Baldy's My Besties International challenge featuring Mermaids!

Welcome to the start of a new 2 week challenge at My Besties International Challenge blog!

Your challenge for the next 2 weeks at the My Besties Challenge Blog is "Mermaids".  I can't wait to see what you create, so that i can view it on the blog!

To join this My Besties challenge please click here! *Remember you must use any My Besties when you create your project. :) 

I wanted to challenge myself for this challenge by creating a scene and to use one of my dies in a different way.  I have made a Slider inside of the card..not an Easel, like many think.  I love moving parts..and to best "show" how i made this i made a Youtube video, i am sooo needing a tripod, because to do a video one handed is really hard.  I will put my video below, in case you'd like to see what i did.

Here is my card open with the slider tag pulled:

Here is the front of the card closed:

 

Here is the construction from the side and top:

 

More details:
I am using the wonderful My Besties Digi image 188 found here.
I enlarged the mermaid part of the digi without the moon and fussy cut her out.
I also added Clear Accents to the tail and sprinkled pink glitter on it randomly.

My Besties 3D Decoupage featuring the Mermaid

This week at My Besties 3-D Deco Challenge blog we have another great challenge for you!

The theme is to use a Fancy Fold on your 3-D My Besties card/project. 

To participate in our challenges go here:

All we ask is that your My-Bestie Image has 3 or more layers, making it raised up from the surface of your Card/Project and to follow the challenge theme.

Some more info about the My Besties 3-D sheets available for you to use:

These sheets are fun and easy to use!  They are all pre-colored for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone glue. 

For this project i am using Mermaid found at the My Besties store here.  I combined two different Fancy Folds to make one.  I used the Upright "Z" fold and an Easel card.

side view, the large pink striped star on the upper right and the small pink star on the upper left hold the top of the card for the "Z" fold:

The card unfolded and laying "flat" so you can see the construction:

To make it an easel card, i added a flap under the "Z" fold.

To find the Decoupage sheets in the My Besties Etsy store click here.

 Dies i used:

The doily die around the image is from Marianne dies, the bubbles and the delicate bow in the corner  and the curly waves are from Memory Box.  The stars holding the card and the mat around the gem are from Nellie Snellen.  I do not recall where the side star border is from..the die is black metal...don't know if that helps?
