Today I'm sharing another card I made with Sunsational Stamps digital images. I used the
Eggstra Special Easter and the
Eggstra Adorable collections from their April release.
I used the duck and nest from the first collection and the shell from the second collection to make this sliding pop-up card.
I've
made sliding pop-up cards before, but this is the first time I made it
in the horizontal or landscape orientation. Making it this way allows
for a wider image, and that's what I wanted for this l'il duck.
But
I want to tell you a bit more about how I combined the various digis to
make this image. First, I imported all the images into my Silhouette.
Working with the duck first, I placed his feet where I wanted them,
knowing I wanted them to peek over the top of the nest.
With the
nest, I made two copies. On one, I erased the top pieces as I wanted to
place it in front of the duck. The second nest, I placed behind the
duck.
The final touch was to erase the bunny from under the egg
shell and then placed the shell on the little duck's head. Here's a
closer look:
For
the card, itself, I started by printing and cutting mats of digital
patterned paper from the Adorableness Kit by Traci Reed. I matched it
to Melon Mambo, Summer Sun and Garden Green card stocks for the mats and
card base.
On the reverse, a simple congratulations on the birth of a daughter.
The beauty of this 3D card is that it closes flat for mailing. And here's a look at that:
I'll see you in two weeks with another card. In the meantime, if you want to take a look at all the photo-polymer and digital stamps Sunsational Stamps, just click
