Hello everyone! The time has finally come to shop for all the newest products from MFT Stamps! You can click HERE to head over to the MFT Online Boutique. I have a really fun card to share with you today. I had this idea in my head the moment that I saw the "Greatest Show" Stamp Set but I wasn't sure if it would work.
It's a Slider Shadow Box Card! Yes, there's actually a hidden slider component behind the grass that coordinates with the pull tab on the side. It actually worked easier than I had hoped and it's simply a basic hidden slider with a slit in the side of the shadow box. Here's a video (below) of the card in action. It's really so much fun!
I first stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Copic friendly Black Ink. I then colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
For the Shadow Box portion, I used measurements that I had used in a previous card that you can find HERE.
I used the Cloud Stencil with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink for the sky and for the grass, I blended some Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss Distress Inks for the grass. I used the Grassy Hills to cut these grass pieces out.
As you can see, for the slider mechanism, I simply cut a slit into the side of the Shadow Box card to allow movement.
I used a piece of acetate for the strip attached with some strong adhesive and one of the Spin & Slide Discs.
And the nice thing is that this card still folds to fit perfectly into a 5 x 7 envelope!
