Lunar New Year Challenge - June card

Hi there crafty friends, it's Tracey here with you today sharing my June card for the Lunar New Year Challenge. Check out this months sponsors below we have Lawn Fawn, Altenew, Sunbird Spark and Whimsy Stamps joining us as sponsors this month. 

For my card I used stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn on my card this month including their new Pull 'n Slide interactive dies.

Slide open...

The first step was to die cut all of the pieces from the Pull 'n Slide interactive dies. I used kraft cardstock for the outside panel and cream cardstock for the inside. The base layer is Papertrey Ink Canyon Clay cardstock! 

Once all the pieces were cut I used liquid glue and foam tape to prep the slider as per the instructions from the how to video on Lawn Fawn. Those were set aside while I prepped all my images. I stamped a variety of cactus, greenery, rocks, the cake, the snake from Lawn Fawn Critters in the Desert stamp set. I also stamped and die cut the cake and candles from the same set. Those will go into the inside of the slider, but it was also set aside after colouring.

The images were coloured with Copic markers and die cut using the co-ordinating dies. The die cuts were arranged over the front of the hill and attached below the score line so that the slide mechanism is able to lift up and display everything that was attached below the fold line.

This is when I paused and was able to stamp the sentiment on the inside of the slider. I also stamped Happy Birthday on the top of the slider that is hidden when closed. I used the die cut cake and candles as a guide to help me find where to stamp. They were glued in after the stamping was done. 

Some additional greenery and rocks were adhered to the slider base. This is the one that holds the slider but does not move. I closed the slider and glued the additional greenery so that the slider would tuck right into it when it's closed right in. So fun!

Thank you so much for stopping in today and I hope I have inspired you to try something new like an interactive card. This die set was
