One More Slider Card

If you saw my last post (here),  you saw my slider card for my grandson, Ethan.  His younger brother, Jacob, has to have everything Ethan has, so of course I couldn't make one a card and not have one for the other.

So...here is Jacob's card:

I L.O.V.E. the Shooting Star stamp set with the matching Sliding Star Framelits!  So much fun to make interactive cards that move.

Today's card is a bee hive, with momma bee circling the hive and baby bees flying around.

The card is So Saffron, 5" x 5", with a layer of So Saffron (embossed with the retired Hexagon embossing folder) on top.  Between the layers is a piece of Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack in So Saffron.

The hive was stamped on So Saffron with So Saffron ink.  The bees were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with So Saffron and Basic Black markers.  All were cut out using the framelits.  I also cut a Whisper White scalloped circle, using the Layering Circles Framelits - love those!

 A Subtles Enamel Shape was added to the sentiment.

Jacob is my sweet honeybee...such a cutie!  I know he'll have fun spinning his bee around the hive.

Shooting Star

Many of you know that I've just returned from a trip to the East Coast to visit my grandchildren.  Ethan and Jacob now have a new baby sister.  I had such a good time with the boys while we waited for the new little one to come along, and Ethan told me he wanted to build rocket ships when he grows up.  So naturally I had to make something for him:

This new set, Shooting Star, with the matching Sliding Star Framelits Dies, is sensational!  The framelits help you make slider cards--interactive cards that move.

Ethan and I played with paper airplanes, and this set has one!  So fun!  I stamped the earth, shooting stars and plane using Night of Navy ink on Whisper White card stock.  The framelits make it easy to cut them all out.  The moon was stamped in So Saffron, on So Saffron card stock, and also cut with the framelits.

Then it's time to put it all together...easy peasy!  The base is Night of Navy, and there is a top layer of Night of Navy that has the slider "track" cut out (using the framelits).

You can see the pennies I used to help the plane slide--one penny below the track, one penny on the back of the plane, and held together with a Dimensional.  As the card is moved, the plane can spin or move along the track all the way to the moon!

Stars were stamped in retired Silver ink, and I added some of the new Metallic Enamel Shapes--silver stars to the background and the sentiment banner.

Shoot for the moon, Ethan!
