Green and blue lion....

As I said a couple of posts down, I was home from work with a poorly child for two and a half days last week.... that gave me a little bit of cardmaking time while she was sleeping the fever off...
I just love this little lion freebie by Meljen's design. Soo cute and perfect for baby cards. This time I have used my green/lime and blue Promarkers to colour in with. I also attempted a double slider card. This card doesn't open up like "normal" cards, but you have to pull that little ribbon above the lion, and two panels slide out above and below the image.... like this:

Neat, eh? See how it works on one of my other double slider cards HERE.

Another slider pop up card

As I said earlier, there are a lot of birthdays these days... I have made another slider pop up card... this time for one of Susie's friends. (The white underneath the card is the envelope, if anyone was wondering....)

I really enjoy making these cards... sooo much fun, I'm sure there will be more. Ssshhhh... I'll tell you a little secret... I've bought some new stamps on ebay... and hopefully they're in the mail finding their way to me as we "speak"... Can't wait to get them... and make lots of new cards with them...

Double slider card...

Another one of my already stamped, coloured and cut out fairys has been used... This card, like the previous one, is for one of Maja's school friends. There are a lot of birthdays these days...
I found it so fun making interactive cards, that I wanted to try another style too... When you pull the ribbon on this card, a piece of card slides out from both the top and bottom of the main card..

Like this....(press play to see the card move):

Just a couple of close ups of the sliders...

You can pull the sliders quite far out of the card, so there was plenty of space for Maja to put her greeting above the snails...

Slider pop up card...

I promised to show the card I made with the stamped and coloured cut outs from my previous post, and here it is: Tadaaa... (the colour is all wrong... the card is more purple in real life, not blue as here)
If you pull that little ribbon at the top, the card topper will slide and pop up to an upright position... like this...
If I show it from the side, you can see the "mechanism"...

And here is one of the little fairys that I stamped, coloured and cut out a few days ago... I mounted her on 3D foam tape to make her stand up from the base...

I have stamped a "happy birthday" greeting in the space that is revealed when you pull the topper up... this is also where Maja put her message to her friend...
