Animal Outing: Interactive Slider Card For Jett

Just a quick post today featuring a card I made for a special little boy who is going through a tough time at present. He loves to receive cards so I'm hoping this interactive card will keep him amused for a while.

I wanted the card to be bright, so I used some of the beautiful See A Silhouette Designer Series paper for the background and stamped some grasses and dragon flies from the Friend Like You stamp set, using Memento Black ink directly onto the paper. 

The kangaroo and koala are from the Animal Outing Bundle that includes dies. I've coloured this image with Stampin' Blends - a quick and easy way to colour and blend in order to achieve a bit of dimension in the image. 

The mechanism for the slider is created with two washers joined together with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Animal Outing Birthday Card

This week my younger grandson turned 5, and that demanded a hand made card from grandma!

Sadly I will be saying goodbye to him in a few days as he and his family are moving overseas for 3 years, so I thought I'd add just a little Australian flavour to the card.

I used a Stampin' Up! stamp set named Animal Outing, from the new Annual Catalogue. (page 27)

It's a very versatile set - great for kids, and it comes with coordinating framelits to save you time and enable you to easily layer the animals.

Here is the card:

I stamped the kangaroo, branch and giraffe directly onto the card front, and the rhino on a separate piece of card stock.

They have been coloured with Stampin' Up! Blends. 

The rhino was fussy cut, because I forgot I had the framelits!!!!  That's how much of a rush I was in.

I finished the card by drawing 2 rough lines around the edge and cutting our a "5"using my Large Numbers framelits

I can see lots of uses for this set and will enjoy water-colouring the critters at some stage.
