This idea popped into my head tonight and I had to make it work! I wanted to make a birthday card where you could "blow out" the candles. I've never made a card with a slider like this before, but I decided to give it a try.
First, I cut three narrow slits in the green background paper and threaded narrower strips of yellow paper through. I attached the flames (made from a heart punch cut down) to the yellow strips. When pulled, they will stop because the slit is narrower than the widest part of the flame. I covered the flames with the candles which are popped on dimensional adhesive. On the back, I attached the three yellow strips to each other with some scrap cardstock and added the tag with the sentiment stamps from Studio G.

Kathryn, Wonderfully creative card. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Donna--really creative and seriously cute. I've got to give myself time to try these more often. Yeah, just add it to the "list".
