We made slider cards in my team meeting last week. They are really cute and fun, and not that difficult! The tutorial is available on Splitcoast Stampers. I modified it a bit for our purposes.  Here it is opened:

Gotta Brag (Just a Little)

When I got back from Convention, my grandkids were in town visiting their daddy (our son). So Grandma Cindy and Papa Tom had them over for our traditional "Build Your Own Pizza" night and a movie and sleep over.  They also each made a card, and they turned out awesome!

Taylor, age 13, has been into scrapbooking and cardmaking for a while, and it shows. She's a natural, with a great eye for layout and color. Her marker-to-stamp technique turned out well.  This was done without any guidance from Grandma!

Trent, age 11, chose to stamp his in black and color it with the markers.  I like the variety in the three brads he chose to embellish the side. He definitely wanted to use the Big Shot to add texture to the background, which I think is a clear indication that he is MY grandson!

A Happy Accident

We made several of these shaker cards in the Christmas card class the other day, but I messed up on this one by stamping the images too close to the bottom to allow the greeting (Hope your Christmas is snow much fun) to fit. Plus, the tree is too far to the left. What can I say, I was having an "off" day. It happens a lot more than I admit infrequently. :-D

Anyhoo, there was a small blank space to the right of the tree, and it seemed like having a word bubble coming from the bird would be just the ticket. The bubble is the wing from the Bird Builder Punch.

And the best part? I like this card better than the original!
