CLICK HERE FOR THE DOUBLE SLIDER TUTORIAL
Here is how I added in the sliding Raccoon 😊

I hope that helps you recreate this card - or use the idea for another slider.
I made this card last weekend and folk have been asking for a tutorial. I only took photos of the start of the process - then forgot to take some as the make progressed - but I think you will be able to get the idea. I have heard of folk using a magnet to create a slider - but sometimes mailing a card with a magnet can cause issues in mailing, so there are no magnets on this one. As you pull the tab on one side of the slider the slider on the other side also pops out - and in this case the Raccoon slides across the card too. Essentially this card is a double slider - and I have a tutorial for that on a previous post CLICK HERE FOR THE DOUBLE SLIDER TUTORIAL Here is how I added in the sliding Raccoon 😊 ![]() So - for this step it would obviously be easier if you had a knife and cut a line, or if you used a paper trimmer □ (I couldn't find my knife, and I didn't even think about using my trimmer at the time!) so I improvised and used a die from the Freezing' Fun Bundle. Position the die as you can see above, or cut your slit with a craft knife The red line shows where the cut and the tab are hidden behind the decoration / snow. Cut layers of 'snow' in Whisper White Cardstock and glue to the bottom of the card Below the level of the cut. Add stamped images behind the snow - but you have to make sure these are flat against the card and do not overlap the cut area. I then added a Stampin' Dimensional to the top of the tab and trimmed around it before sticking the raccoon to the tab. This holds the raccoon above the Cardstock snow layers and means he doesn't get caught as he slides.
I hope that helps you recreate this card - or use the idea for another slider.

Welcome to the Creatin' With Kirsteen stop on the June Kre8tors Hop.
This month the theme is Masculine. Who doesn't struggle with Masculine cards? Heck - I struggle to think of gifts as well as cards...what to get the man that has all the stuff he wants? A GIFT CARD! And - make a gift card holder to show him you care enough to make something ;P For this Gift Card Holder I used some new product from the 2020-2021 catalog, some carry-over product and one of my tutorials from a few years back. This is a double slider card - with a slot for a gift card in one of the slider 'wings'. When you pull the tab on the right hand side, a tab slides out from both sides :) As I said in the original post for this Double Slider Gift Card Holder - usually these are made with 12" wide pieces of card stock - but I altered the dimensions so we can use regular 8 1/2" x 11" card. There's a list of products used at the bottom of this post.

Welcome to the Creatin' With Kirsteen stop on the May Kre8tors Hop. This month the theme is floral. I JUST received my New Catalog pre-order...yup - a perk of being Demo in SU is getting to order some product from the new catalog a whole month before anyone else. You can become a Demo on my team - The KILTS by clicking HERE. So, I decided to open the box and use some of that product. There are flowers galore in the new catalog - whatever your taste in flowers - there is a stamp set to suit you! I decided to use the CELEBRATE SUNFLOWERS Bundle, the IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper, the LOVELY LABELS PICK A PUNCH, the JAR PUNCH, MASON JAR SHAKER DOMES and FOREVER FERN BUNDLE to make this card. I stamped the sunflower with Stazon on to watercolour paper and coloured with blender pens. I used the bubble wrap that's inside the delivery box inside the 'jar' to create some 'water'. I then created this framed piece using the same product and an old 8x8 frame. If you look closely - the photo doesn't really show it, there's a small 'shelf' that the 'jars' are sitting on. I was so happy with this little frame that it's already sitting on a shelf in our living room :) I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek at new product! Again, Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the Kre8tors April 2020 Hop in which we are participating in a 'Spring' themed hop.
Spring to me is soft colours and flowers and getting the pots in the garden planted up and looking pretty. And this Spring, Stampin' Up! have given us a sneak peek at upcoming new 2020-21catalog product - the Ornate Garden Suite. Mine just arrived a couple of days ago so I thought I would break it out and make a card. This suite is quite - well, ornate! It's not my style typically as you know I prefer clean lines and simple :) But - the great thing with crafting is that you can do what YOU want with products right? Here is the front of the card I made. I cut some of the flowers from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Paper, used the Ornate Borders Dies across the middle of the card, the Ornate garden Ribbon and the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. I added a few Gilded Gems to the centre of the flowers.
On the inside of the card I created a little pop up 'pot' using the bag from the All Dressed Up dies. I cut more flowers from the Ornate Designer Paper and layered those in. When the card closes the whole 'pot' goes flat for mailing.
Here are the products I used for this card :)

Welcome to the Kre8tors March 2020 Hop in which we are participating in a Green Monochromatic Colour Challenge.
I am so happy to be back after another visit to Scotland to get ready to Register as a Nurse in Texas! Now I just face a couple of exams and the looooong process will be done! But for now I am enjoying some time in my craft room - which is still all a bit new and exciting after it's post Hurricane Harvey refurb! Anyway - enough of my waffling :) and on to todays project. When I'm faced with the challenge of creating a Monochromatic card I have a wee panic. So, I thought I would go down the 'green' and 'March' route and create a St. Patrick's Day project. But, as I was tidying up card kits from my card buffet I wondered if I could recreate a few of those cards in greens. Here are the results.... This card was initially a 'Happy Easter' card on this week's card buffet...I didn't think I could use green for the bunny or the chick in the 'Welcome Easter' stamp set, so I used the lamb and changed the card a little into a baby card. I added a little Wink of Stella to the sheep to give it a little something - but you can't quite see it in the photo. The next card began on the buffet with a Calypso Coral colour palette (and CASE'd from Windy Ellard), but I changed it to Pear Pizzazz. I used the Noble Peacock Foil Paper and the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder for the background layer - it turned out really pretty - it was almost sad to cover it up (but it's an idea I'll keep in my head for another time).
Product List
The next card on card buffet this week was inspired by a card created by Monika Davis and was originally in So Saffron and Sahara Sand. I used the original leaf colour of Mossy Meadow as the base for the green version, stamping off the smaller flowers before stamping on to the image...so this card only uses Mossy Meadow, although the layer of Vellum and the stamping off create some lighter green tones :)

This Pumpkin Pie placemat is very easy to recreate - and would be a fun activity to do with children or Grandchildren!
The 3D Thursday group have free 3D project tutorials each week...you can find the tutorial for my project on their Facebook page as well as many others. Click on the button below to hop on over.
In the end I had so much fun creating this project. I hope you like it too and get the chance to make a few Pumpkin Pie Place settings
I have just returned from OnStage in San Antonio - it was my most favorite Stampin' Up! OnStage Event ever!
