SLIDE (PULL OUT) CARD

Here is a card I designed this. As the name indicates you pull on each side to reveal the inside of the card. I used SB & GBS for this one. The scalloped oval is the only thing from SB and can be replaced with any shape or design you would like. I have a 2nd smaller oval on the "front" page that I used to "layer" with. It is not needed, but I like it. Assembly Instructions 1. There are five pieces used in the sliding card. 2. We will be creating a sandwich starting with the "bottom". 3. Next you need to apply quick drying glue or adhesive runner and line up the "stop" with the "bottom". 4. Now line this "bottom" assembled piece with the top and being careful to keep them lined up, cut down the center so that all pieces are the split in half. MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE CENTER SHAPE, DO NOT CUT IT!!! These can be cut separately, if you wish. I found it easier to do all at once so that I got them exact. 5. Lay the "inside" piece in the center of the "bottom" piece. DO NOT GLUE!!! It may be easier to embellish before adding this piece to the inside. Repeat for both sides. 6. Apply glue to the edges of the underneath of the "top" pieces along the top, outside and bottom. DO NOT GLUE THE CENTER!!! 7. Add the "cutout" center shape in the opening and finish embellishing.

SEASHORE BORDER

Okay, it's here finally!! The much desired seashore border, complete with 2 versions. One with PDDU & OOW, the other with PDDU & GBS.

NEW BORDERS

I've done some new borders. Dino borders is made with GBS & PDDU. The actual "dino" portion is resizable, but you would have to adjust the "base". Also, if you don't have GBS, you could easily switch with another rectangle from another cart, as that is all that is on GBS. The torn edge is also made from PDDU and is resizable.

POP UP BALL

CAUTION...SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!!! This pop up ball is made with GBS, AE and PF. The pooh font could be switched with another font. I like this one because it is "chunky". It's cut in two pieces, glued around center line and held inside by a rubber band. You can close it in a card or on a scrapbook page and when it's opened, it will "pop" up. My plan is to attach the bottom with a brad so that it also turns. There are twelve sides to add photos or embellishments to, along with the top. This will be a lot of fun to embellish. There was some trial and error with this one. So....I have two sizes. The first was too big for a card or scrapbook, so I made a second and a third. Third time was a charm! You will need to score and fold to assemble. This screen shot shows the scorelines in red. They do not cut on your cricut. Use a good quality, heavy card stock. Next cut them out with your cricut & DS. The small one can be cut on the baby bug, jsut be sure to switch the mat size on your screen. It will probably me easier to embellish before assembly. To assemble glue the tabs with the "hooks" together making sure that the hooks face in opposite directions. DO NOT GLUE THE HOOKS!!! Now the fun part. You will need to put a rubber band on the hooks and stretch it to the other side and repeat. It requires threading the rubber band so that it is caught in both hooks on each side (which is why you can't glue the hooks). Then glue other tabs together leaving two sides open. Check to see if the ball is going to "pop" and hold it's shape. This may take a few tries to get the right length of rubber band. When everything is working right continue by gluing the remaining tabs together. Here is a photo of the ones I made with no embellishments on them. Sizes are: large...about 7 1/2" across x 5" tall small...about 4" across x 2 1/4" tall

OH BABY STEP CARD

I have been working on this card since LilGreenBug posted a request a few days ago. Capadia has already designed one, or in her case, several. This is my version. It is all George for the open version and George & PS for the closed version, as pictured. My file makes a 4" x 5 1/2" card and it is resizable. You can load any "designs" you would like into the open spaces, but you do have to remember to check the weld box for each one. I chose to put the letters B A B Y, from Pooh Font, into my spaces and like the look with the bar across the top and bottom, closed version. Do make sure when you weld shapes into the spaces that you only weld on the two sides, DO NOT WELD THE SHAPES ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM. By making this resizable it will be great for small gift cards or to add to a scrapbook page.

OCTOPUS with BOOK

This file is done in all George. I have not cut it, as it was requested by MElody on the Cricut MB. It can only be cut on a 12 x 12 mat or larger.
