…Begin With a Smile!
Aloha, all!
Speaking of days, it's been a few since I've been here to chat about my projects. But I've been doing a ton of them, along with cleaning up my craft room to get ready for all the new products I'm going to be bringing into it next week! And now I'm going to share some of the projects, and I'll spare you the before and after pictures of a craft room in chaos!
Today I'm sharing one of the two final products I've made using some of the 2011-2012 Designer Series Papers. I also used my favorite of the retiring 2010-2012 Stampin' Up! "In Colors," Peach Parfait. Stampin' Up! has indicated that some of these In Colors may come back as core catalog colors, and I'm cheering for Peach Parfait!
This card is a "Slider Card," so named because the center part of the card slides as you open it and reveals what's on the other side of it! Lisa Martz in her comment below reminded me that this is also called a "Swing Card," because it swings back and forth as you open and close it.
This is such a neat fold! Every time I pick up this card, I have to keep opening and closing it to watch that center section move around! The Designer Series Paper set that I used for this card is Just Add Cake. Both the large print just under the sentiment as well as the mat immediately behind that layer are part of the Designer Series Paper set. If you really like that paper, you have just two more days to order it! The sentiments are from the Stamp Set, Petite Pairs, which, along with the 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon, will continue into the new 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! catalog.
Oh, and this is my entry in this week's Stampin' Up! Only Challenge over at SUOChallenges.com! And why am I "entering" the challenge rather than posting my Design Team Card? It's because this is a very special week over at SUOChallenges.com, with our very first set of Guest Designers! I hope you'll head on over to check out their inspiration cards – and an inspiration for Summer card projects they definitely are! A big thanks to all of them for being so fun to work with!
I'll be sharing my one last project for the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! catalog with you on Thursday. And it's another Fun Fold! I had a great time making both of these cards. If you're interested in how you can get free tutorials for both of them, I'll have more information on Thursday!
Great summer card Robin! Love the fancy fold, and what you did with the sentiment. Perfect use for those Petite Pairs sentiments.
Robin, what a delightfully bright, cheery card with a fun fold to boot! Whoever gets this card is sure to keep opening and closing it, too.
Been a long time since I made a swing card! Yours is very bright and cheerful!
I love this fancy fold and the beautiful colors. What a fun card! Isn't it fun to play along with the SUO challenge?
I haven't played much with Peach Parfait but I love this color combo you used for this card! Great layout & funky fold! Thanks for playing with us Robin! 🙂
Nice "Swing" card! Love that fold! Your card gives me an idea for a quick birthday card I need to do up for a friends birthday on the weekend! Thanks!

I guess several of us couldn't resist playing along! Perfect summer colors.
