Today I am sharing with you a couple of ‘Magical’ Cards that we have been making in class this week using the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set. These type of cards are referred to magical slider cards. You start with a pain black image, but as you pull out the slider, the image magically becomes coloured.
Isn’t the little chicken in this set just so very adorable! It looks like a normal – albeit a bit boring – card so far – but just wait for the magic…..
It’s hard to put into a photo as you really see the magic happen as you pull the slider. I used one of the sheets from the Wildflower Fields DSP (another FREE sale-a-bration item) and simply randomly coloured a few of those spots with colours from the subtle collection.
Here is another example using the ice cream and the Birthday Bouquet DSP.
The Honeycomb Happiness stamp set is perfect for this type of card as it has lovely ‘open’ images that allow you to add a lot of colour, making it very effective! Would you like to make one of your very own??? Jump on over to my Youtube video here.
I tell you – they are soon much fun to make and have been a HUGE hit in class this week.
I hope you enjoy hopping around to see all the wonderful creations the team have made for you. Just click on the links below to go forward or backwards 🙂
Happy Crafting
