Chillin With Honey

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a nice long weekend! I'm still in Honolulu, so this is a pre-scheduled post. Made this Double Slider Honey card for Island Scrapbooking. I just love the green flower paper and coordinating gingham paper by Jillybean. Decided to turn the double slider so that it opened up sideways instead of vertically. Here's what the card looks like when its open... Used Hero Arts sentiments for the slider parts and accented them with small hydrangea punches (Martha Stewart). Supplies:

• Honey stamp- CC's Designs
• Sentiments- Hero Arts
• Hydrangea punch- Martha Stewart Crafts
• Crystals- Hero Arts
• DP- Doodlebug, Jillybean
• Cardstock- Bazzil
• Ribbon

2-4-6-8...

So the reason I made this card was because I needed to practice making this double slider card in preparation for my upcoming class. I had to make sure I remembered how to make it! I decided to FINALLY use my Cheer Anya stamp. Don't ask me why I bought her... I was never a cheerleader, nor do I have any connections with any. I just think she's pretty darn cute. Maybe its because I like the movie "Bring It On".. yes, I admit it. It's pretty hilarious.

Anyway, back to the card... Since we got some complaints about school colors that I used to make the samples at Island Scrapbooking, I decided to pick colors that were not associated with any school, yet fit Anya's personality- pink and black right? I don't think any school has these as their colors.

So, a looooooong time ago, I saw someone had made a tutorial on using embroidery floss for her pom poms. I'm sorry, I can't recall what blog it was from, but if anyone knows, please let me know so I can give credit to her cute idea. Here's a better look...

Don't laugh at my cheer...

I tried to remember cheers from my high school days, but my mind was blank and all I could come up with was the "bus driver cheer". hee hee. Do kids still do that?

Who do I appreciate? You of course! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments. Yay... its the weekend! Have a good one!

My First Double Slider!

I know most of you out there in blogland have already seen this type of card before, and are probably thinking... been there, done that. Well, living in Hilo, we don't get as much exposure to the newest card making techniques. While browsing many blogs on paper crafting, I found instructions on how to make this double slider card. I know I've seen this type of card before, but now I found the instructions! Yipee! I must give credit to Dawn of Dawn's Stampin Thoughts, who also puts tutorials on you tube. I also found a set of instructions after I made the sample on Splitcoast Stampers.

Pull the tab and....

Ooooh, Aaaah! (So Smurfy!)

After I figured out how to put the card together, it was a snap! Miss Anya was the natural choice for this color scheme. I just love how I found all these papers that seemed to coordinate well. Since the area that pulls out is rather big, it was a good opportunity to use my large Hero Arts sentiment stamps. They filled up the space well. To add some color, I used some scraps of paper to layer for the background. I just love learning new things!
