When I first saw this stamp I fell in love with it but wasn't sure what I would use it for but last weeks Splitcoast stampers weekly Inkling was a tutorial to make a Sliding Pop -Up card and I knew that this stamp would be perfect for this card!! This is actually my second attempt at making this card cos the first one just did not look right. I made a few mistakes to start with but the papers I used just weren't right!! This was such a fun card to make, the video tutorial was very easy to follow and I think in the end this is an awesome card! My boys loved it when I showed them, so I'll probably make some more of them.
I used Kaszazz and american crafts cardstock, not sure what brand the patterned paper is from, flowers are from magnolia, used a cuttlebug embossing folder and coloured tilda in with aquacrayons, watercolour pencils, H2O's and chalks!! And I've sprayed it with vanilla shimmer smooch spritz for the sparkle factor.
