sliding by to say hi

Hey everybody! Can you believe the weekend is gone already?! I hope you’re raring to go on this fine Monday morning! I’m up on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the Sliding By stamp set from our new release! I created a latch card which is a really easy design – it’s simply a bi-level card (meaning the front flap is a different length or width than the base flap) with a ‘latch’ to keep it closed! The latch on this card is a tree brad that coordinates with the trees in the stamp set! Talk about cuteness overload!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped three clusters of trees from the Sliding By stamp set in Catherine Poole Sage ink, lining up the cluster on the right-hand side with the right edge of the front flap and inside panel. I stamped the penguin in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and colored him with alcohol markers. I fussy cut and edged the image with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

I added three Eyelet Outlet Tree Brads, making one of them the latch (popped up on a dimensional), along with several snowflakes and gemstones from the Buttons Galore & More Frozen Mix Upz Embellishments. The front sentiment is from the Sliding By stamp set and the inside sentiment is from the Prickley Pear Stamps Flourished Oval 3-Holidays stamp set, stamped in black ink. I added three vertically-aligned gemstones in the right lower corner which completed the card.
