Magic Color Slider Birthday Card

 

Use Lawn Fawns Magic Color Slider Die and Critter Consert stamp and die set to create this fab interactive birthday card



I just love interactive cards and this one has been created using Lawn Fawns Magic Color Slider die set. Lawn Fawn makes it so easy to create a fab looking card. Your black and white image suddenly colours itself in when you pull the slider out :)

I have teamed the magic color slider die with Lawn Fawns Critter Concert stamp and die set to make this card but you can use any image as long as it fits within one of the window dies that comes with the set

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

You will need

  • Colouring medium of your choice (I used Promarker pens - caramel, sandstone, pear green, herb garden, tulip yellow, pumpkin, tea green, pale pink and cool grey 3)
  • A6 white base card
  • Blue patterned paper/card (I used a sheet of blue from Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper pack by Lawn Fawn)
  • Navy and white card
  • Stamping aid (I use Stamparatus by Stampin Up)
  • Die cutting machine
  • Thin double sided tape and double sided foam pads
  • Washi tape (doesn't matter on size or colour as it is used to temporarily hold down layers)

    lay stamps onto white rectangle to check they fit

  10. Put some thin double sided tape around the inside of the window (keep it close to the window edge). Lay the acetate over the coloured in image and once it is lined up, so the black outlines match, hold it down with some washi tape. Fold the front pocket over the back of the pocket and the acetate will then be stuck to the window (remove the washi tape).
    Put thin tape around inside edge of window

    Put acetate over the coloured image and line up the black outlines
    Lay acetate over coloured image - this shows it not lined up
