Hello Crafty Friends!
This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a
Sliding Window belated birthday card to share with you showcasing the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps. This is an
awesome stamp set with a variety of fun and funny sentiments that are
just perfect for belated birthday cards. I chose a fun interactive card
design for the recipient today to make up for the lateness of the late birthday
wishes.
Have you ever made a
sliding window card? They are super fun and quite easy to make. They are not
nearly as complex and intimidating as they look. And the Sliding Window Dies takes all of the guess
work out of making this card. In the event that you have never made one of
these cards or used this die, there is an excellent tutorial video as well as
written directions on the Sunny Studio website that can be found HERE.
For this card design,
I used a piece of pattern paper (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack, a piece of pattern paper (3
1/4" x 4 7/8") from the Surprise Party Paper Pack and two pieces of Neenah
Solar White 110lb cardstock (4 1/4" x 5.5" and 3" x
4").
I centered the main Sliding Window Dies onto the larger pattern paper and placed the little half
circle die on the upper edge of the paper. I ran this through my diecutting
machine. Not only did the dies cut out the window flap and notch on the top but
it also created score lines for the folding lines. I folded along these lines
to help the window open and close.
Before going onto the
next step of the card assembly, I placed the sliding window panel on top of my
larger piece of white cardstock and used it as a guide to stamp the inside
images and sentiments. Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the pandas, hats
and cupcakes from the Panda Party Stamps and the presents from the Foxy Friends Stamps sets onto the larger white
cardstock (inside panel) as well as on a separate piece for coloring and
diecutting for the card front. I also stamped the sentiment from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday onto the inside panel with a combo of black and red
ink.
I used the
coordinating Panda
Party Dies and Foxy
Friends Dies to diecut the images for the front panel. I colored the
images with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Pandas:
C00/0/1/3/5/7, R30
Red: R24/29/39
Orange: Y38 YR04
Green: YG01/03/17
Light Blue: B00/02/04
Dark Blue: B21/24/28
Cupcake Frosting: E41
I returned to the
card assembly by attaching the smaller piece of patterned paper to the bottom
edge of the window flap with double sided tape. I added double sided tape to
the sides and bottom of the backside of the larger patterned paper and adhered
it to the front of the inside panel that I had colored. I tested to make sure
the window opened and closed.
For the sentiment, I
stamped the Happy Birthday from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps with red ink and diecut it
out with the Big Bold Greetings Dies. Then, I stamped the
"belated" from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps set
with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed
with Detail White Embossing Powder. I trimmed it out with a paper trimmer.
I adhered my colored
images to the smaller piece of white cardstock with liquid adhesive. I attached
the sentiments with foam tape for a bit of dimension. I adhered the small white
panel to the front of the window flap making sure to only adhere it to the
bottom half of the flap.
Next, I adhered the
little half circle notch that I diecut from the front panel to the smaller
piece of patterned paper to hide the inside pattern as well as reinforce
the sliding panel. Then I punched a hole in this sliding panel and attached a
piece of twine to help the recipient pull out the panel. Finally, I adhered
the entire panel to an A2 white cardbase (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").
