Remember, I have blog candy running through Wednesday, August 11th, you can see the post HERE.
Hi there!! I’m almost embarrassed to tell you how long I spent on this card!! I made it because it was issued as a challenge. Little did I know how engrossed I would get in the inner workings and mechanics of the T-Slider card, but it had me engaged for a little bit. Have you made one yet? The tutorial for it is HERE on Splitcoaststampers. I did a test card so that I could figure out how every thing flipped and turned and then I decided to modify the pattern to suit the stamps I wanted to show. The challenge is a monthly Magnolia-licious challenge, and if you’d like to play the details are over on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog.
My card opens vertically, it has the T-Slide mechanism inside, but instead I wanted it to pop up the window for the boutique :-). This is such an adorable set of stamps. It is from the new Bon Voyage Collection at Magnolia-licious and on this card I used both #291 Tilda Goes Shopping and #535 Boutique. Once the vertical stick is pulled the awning goes up, the card falls open and the boutique window raises up. I thought all that action was a perfect opportunity to make this a gift card holder for one of my shop-a-holic friends.
For the front side of the card I used new Spellbinders Lacey Squares and Labels Fifteen – they go together perfectly!! Then I hung a cluster of tags using Tags Five. Tilda and the Boutique window are colored with Copic Markers. A change of pace for me – those stamps are so cute, no?

The card is so cute. I love the little Magnolia. I haven’t been brave enough to try the slide card yet. Looks complicated to me. But look like you’ve mastered it. Guess I’ll stick to the easier ones. Edna

This card is adorable. I have never tried a T-Slide card but now I have to try making one.
Thank goodness occasionally it takes “even you” a bit of time to construct a card!!. LOL It takes me all evening just to make a simple one . I change my mind so many times that my finished card doesn’t even resemble my original idea :)

Oh Becca!
I should have known you would come up with a completely different take on the “T slide” card. Just awesome!! I see you have the new stamps already. This Tilda is one of my favourites and I am looking forward to receiving her.
Wonderful card :o)

I’ve never made a T-slider card before. Your card is beautiful and of course Tilda is always just so cute. I like the sentiment too. The opening almost looks like a canopy. Cleverly done Becca. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

That is sooo adorable! It takes a real paper artisan to sit and figure out how to make something work and then re-design it to make it work again! You are awesome!!!
Thanks for sharing! :o)

WOW! is all I can say….! That is very tricky how you change the workings of your card… I have made a few but NOTHING like yours….. Again, Just Beautiful!

I wish I could borrow your brain for a short while. It would have been hard for me to put the original together. Let’s not even talk about altering it. I love your use of color. You do such a great job of shading and highlighting.

This is just the cutest idea I have ever seen…Hope you don’t mind if I borrow the idea as my best cardmaking friend has a birthday coming soon and this would be just great for her giftcard.

THAT is adorable. It took awhile to understand – pull tab, card falls open and awning goes up……I finally got it – WONDERFUL job. I truly appreciate the time you put into this one. A couple of weeks ago my daughter and I “worked” out/on a waterfall card………..we got it YES!!!! Thanks again for sharing your talent/gift with us.

Becca,
This card is so cute. I love the Boutique window and the awning effect. I have to admit, I am not a big fan of magnolicious. I know I know everyone is probably thinking I am absolutely crazy, but I just am not a fan. But that aside, I always love how you use these stamps and of course your creativity just blows me away. Did you inherit your creativity? Cause you know – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I know this is the wrong section of the blog for this, but I just had to throw it in!?!?

Becca– I love the way you changed the slider! I love the awning and how you re-worked the design. It’s fabulous and as ingenious as you are. I love to see a tutorial on your re-design. Thank you so much for sharing. You truly do have a gift.

That is super cute Becca!! Way to go re-engineering that slider card :) I was wondering if that scallop border along the awning piece was made using a punch? I think I might need it ;)
