I can't wait to share this card with you! I've had this one made for a while and I've been so excited to share it. When I saw the Flying By Set in the Annual Catalog I knew that it had serious potential for slider cards. Once I was finally able to get it done I was soo happy with it! I love how the little space ship slides up and doing so reveals a beam of light. It's so fun! I think it will bring a smile to anyone. I wanted a night sky, but I thought Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy were too dark so I used Boho Blue cardstock and I ink blended with Blending Brushes, Blueberry Bushel Ink to give it that darker sky look.
If you've never made a slider, basically you need a channel of some sort and something fun behind and/or under the channel. It can be a slit cut in the base or something bigger like I've done. Our Paper Trimmer is a fantastic tool for this, it has a ruler on the cutting arm so you can precisely measure what you need to trim. I colored my space ship with Stampin' Blends and added some Fine Tip Glue over the dome to give it a glossy look. Give the ribbon on top a pull and the magic happens!
Our alien friend will 'float all the way to the top of the card. Sooo fun!!! Can you think of someone who would love this card. For my greeting I wanted something smaller that wouldn't distract from the movement, I found this greeting in the Saying Hey Stamp Set and well, it's completely perfect! My video below will have all the amazing details of this card, you'll want to check that out!
