Feb 2017 Paper Pumpkin: Many Happy Birthdays Candy Slider & Card
March 06, 2017
So, one of the first things I thought of when I saw the February Many Happy Birthdays Paper Pumpkin kit was, this would make a great candy bar slider! And to my delight, it worked out perfectly...just like I envisioned it in my head - yay!!
Easy Candy Bar Slider
- Assemble "card sleeve" from kit as instructed (but exclude the flame).
- Cut holes at open end of card with 1/8" handheld circle punch (I was able to punch through both layers at the same time)
- Wrap 22" of Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon around candy bar (from top to bottom and back up) and slide into the card sleeve. Thread "back" ribbon through back hole and "front" ribbon through front hole and tie together in a bow.
- Create pull tag by stamping "pull" on scrap of Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink. Punch with Classic Label punch. Trim down to size. Punch 1/8" hole on end. Thread Night of Navy Baker's Twine through "tag" hole and onto ruched ribbon bow, then tie in a bow.
- Die cut 2-1/4" x 1-5/16" Stitched Shape Oval Framelit from Whisper White cardstock. Stamp images with Night of Navy and Flirty Flamingo inks. Adhere to front of slider with strips of Stampin' Dimensionals over the window (be careful to not adhere over the window edges to the candy bar)
- To open: pull up on the ribbon and the candy bar slides out...yum!
My last project turned out to be a "happy accident". I had punched some stars from the patterned card sleeves, which left some strips of paper with "negative star cutouts. As I was cleaning up, this strip almost landed in the trash, when I thought..."hmm, I could make something with this by putting stars over the negative spaces". Though, If I were to make it again - I'd just cut a strip of the paper and add the stars. I'll share directions for that below.
Celebrate You card
- Cut 4-3/8" x 1-1/2" strip from card sleeve.
- Cut 3 stars using Medium Star Punch (Coral Caypso, Night of Navy & Peekaboo Peach cardstock) and adhere to strip with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Stamp greetings on 3/4" strips of Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink. Trim down to size and trim ends into "flags". Adhere "celebrate" with Stampin' Dimensionals. Staple 8" of Night of Navy Baker's Twine and "you" together to strip. Tie twine in a bow.
- Adhere completed "strip" to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Night of Navy card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
This would make for a great graduation or birthday card. What do you think of these projects? Super cute, right?
