Welcome to our newest challenge!
I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. Use yellow on your project.
The second I decided to do a yellow challenge, I knew that I wanted it to be Sharon's feature.
Her favorite color is and always has been yellow. After you check out her adorable interactive card, be sure to scroll down and find out who won our last challenge.
Also, don't forget you have one more day to apply to our Design Team call.
Details are below.
Hello AI Fans!
If you know me, you know my favorite color is yellow. Just ask my sister, she still hasn't forgiven me for making her wear yellow in my wedding in the 70's. HAHA Oops...I just gave my age away, didn't I. LOL! Anyway, I am super excited to get to introduce our new Challenge #428 Yellow! Whoot Whoot!! I can't wait to see all your amazing creations using the beautiful color of yellow! For my feature, I created a slider card where an adorable frog surprises the birthday girl by popping up out of her birthday cake! First a look at the finished card...
So to make the card, I started with #5407 Birthday Cake GCH. This cake die can be used for so many things!! I cut the pieces using #6012 Basic Yellow PP and then inked the edges to give it a little depth.
After assembling the cake, I grabbed #6046 Scalloped Oval Die Set and chose the correct sizes so the cake and frog had enough room. If you have a channel die, you can use that. If not, you can also cut a slot with a ruler and your craft knife. I wanted a larger channel than what my die provided so I improvised. Once I cut the one slot, I lined the die up and cut it again to the length I needed as shown in the pics below. You want a slot that is long enough to allow your image to be hidden behind the cake and also reveal it once it's pulled up.
I cut a pull tab twice out of heavy cardstock and glued them together so they would be strong enough to hold up to the pushing and pulling it was going to receive. (I always play with the interactive cards I create!)
It really helps to keep the pull tab on track if you create a little sleeve for it to slide through. Just take a light weight paper and cut a strip around 1/4" wide and fold it loosely around the pull tab. Glue it down to the back of the card.
I wanted the frog to "talk" when he jumped out of the cake, so I die cut a word bubble and used a sentiment from #5866 Mini Birthday Sentiment Set. I die cut both the word bubble and the frog 3 times and glued them together for stability. Then, to attach it to the frog, I just cut a small strip of acetate and doubled it up for strength.
After lining up the pull tab with the channel, I used a strong glue to attach a slider disc to both the pull tab on the back side and the frog on the front side. Be sure to use a strong glue and allow lots of time for drying. You don't want it separating from either of them after you've assembled the entire card!!
I used two layers of foam tape on the back of green and white slider panel as well as the cake that goes over the top of the slider to give plenty of room for the frog to slide. I added some dots from Scrapbook.com Pops of Color and some of those cute candles that are in the set with the cake. For a touch of sparkle, I went over the Happy Birthday die cut and candle flames with Wink of Stella and then popped a bow on there. I do love interactive cards, so I hope the person that ends up with this enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it.
So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit, and I can't wait to see what yellow creations you'll be making for the challenge. Until next time - stay crafty!!!
I knew Sharon would have fun with this challenge. What an adorable card! That frog is just TOO CUTE!!
