Butterfly Kisses

 

Learn how I made this slider card with Lawn Fawns 'Butterfly Kisses' Flip Flop stamp and die set

This is a cute slider card - just tilt the card left or right to see if the fox can catch any butterflies.

Lawn Fawn make these flip flop stamp and die sets which are basically the main character from one of thier other sets but the image has been flipped over the other way.  In this instance the fox from the original 'Bitterfly Kisses' stamp set is facing right whilst the one with the flip flop set, I have used, is facing left. It's so you can have both sets and have two foxes looking at each other. The flip flop set is much smaller than the other set and has just the fox, net, butterflies and small greeting. Enough to make this card :)

Follow the below link to find out how the card was made 

You will need

• Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop stamp and die set by Lawn Fawn
• Grassy Hillside Borders die by Lawn Fawn
• Curvy Sliders die by Mama Elephant
• Small cloud die (You can cut by hand if you do not have a die)
• Black inkpad
• A6 white base card
• Blue, green and white card
• Colouring medium of your choice (I used Promarker pens - dusky rose, china blue, amethyst, terracotta, soft peach, dusky pink, buttercup, ivory and cool grey 2)
• Small coin (I used a 1 pence piece)
• Greeting peeloff (I used a white Happy Birthday peeloff)
• Guillotine
• Die cutting machine
• Glue and double sided foam pads

1. Cut a piece of blue card to 14 cm x 6 cm and glue to the front of your base card towards the top as per the below photo
   
   
   


2. Cut two pieces of green card to 14 cm x 6 cm


3. Trim the top of one of the green rectangles with the grassy hillside border die
   
   
   


4. Glue this green rectangle to the front of the base card so it's bottom edge is about 2 cm up from the bottom of the base card
   
   
   


5. Trim the other green rectange with the grassy hillside border die but also cut out the longest curvy slider die just below it
   
   
   


6. Stamp the fox, net and 5 butterflies onto white card using the black ink pad. Colour them in and die cut out
   
   
   


7. Glue the net to the fox's hand
   
   
   


8. Put the small coin behind the slider hole in the green rectangle


9. Put two double sided foam pads ontop of the coin but so they show through the slider hole. Put another two double sided foam pads ontop of the previous ones - making them double height (The photo below just shows the first two double sided pads, but I found putting another double sided foam pad ontop made the fox run smoother in the slider mechanism)

   

   The weight of the coin helps the slider mechanism move
   

   
   


10. Stick the fox onto the double sided foam pads so that he covers as much of the coin as possible
    
    
    


11. Put double sided foam pads on the back of this green rectangle - make them double height again.  Make sure that you do not put any pads too close the the slider hole as it will stop the coin moving
    
    
    
    


12. Attach this green rectangle to the front of the base card so that it's bottom edge is near the bottom of the base card
    
    
    


13. Die cut, or cut by hand, 3 white clouds. Glue them to the sky of the base card
    
    
    


14. Glue the 5 butterflies to the base card. I put 4 in the sky just above where the fox's net would go and one at the left edge of the slider hole
    
    
    


15. Put the greeting peel off at the bottom right edge of the base card
    
    
    

That is your finished card. The fox now slides left and right catching butterflies
