Sherri Baldy's My Besties International challenge featuring Mermaids!

Welcome to the start of a new 2 week challenge at My Besties International Challenge blog!

Your challenge for the next 2 weeks at the My Besties Challenge Blog is "Mermaids".  I can't wait to see what you create, so that i can view it on the blog!

To join this My Besties challenge please click here! *Remember you must use any My Besties when you create your project. :) 

I wanted to challenge myself for this challenge by creating a scene and to use one of my dies in a different way.  I have made a Slider inside of the card..not an Easel, like many think.  I love moving parts..and to best "show" how i made this i made a Youtube video, i am sooo needing a tripod, because to do a video one handed is really hard.  I will put my video below, in case you'd like to see what i did.

Here is my card open with the slider tag pulled:

Here is the front of the card closed:

 

Here is the construction from the side and top:

 

More details:
I am using the wonderful My Besties Digi image 188 found here.
I enlarged the mermaid part of the digi without the moon and fussy cut her out.
I also added Clear Accents to the tail and sprinkled pink glitter on it randomly.

My Besties 3D Deco sheets, Easter/Spring Slider card

This week at My Besties 3-D Deco Challenge blog we have another great challenge for you!

The theme is an Easter/Spring on your 3-D My Besties card/project. 

To participate in our challenges go here:

All we ask is that your My-Bestie Image has 3 or more layers, making it raised up from the surface of your Card/Project and to follow the challenge theme.

For this project i couldn't make up my mind on which project to make so i made a tag i made two things with the tag

This week i used the tag on a Slider Card...not an easel card. :)

I have also used the My Besties Heart Frame die and cut it to fit around the tag.  I used all of the paper that came with this 3D set..you get one sheet with the layered image and one sheet w/the digi paper and the flowers.

So now for the Slider card:

Super cute, huh?  I discovered this die at Your Next Stamp that was intended for an open door and changed it out a bit to make it into a slider card..Interested in the instructions???  You can find my post on how to make the slider card here.

More views of this fun project: (the picture on left the side is the back of the card where you pull the image so that it will set up.)  The other image to the right is how it looks closed.

To find the Decoupage sheets in the My Besties Etsy store click here.

Some more info about the My Besties 3-D sheets available for you to use:

These sheets are fun and easy to use!  They are all pre-colored for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone glue.

This week's challenge at Bronte and Bella's (alias Mo's) is to "Make a TAG and use your favorite embellishment".  I just happened to run across an awesome tag slider card video at Mollyscrap on youtube and thought i would try it cricut/gypsy style using one of Mo's digi images in place of the picture.

 Copics i used to color the image:
Skin- E50, 51, 02
Hair- E43, 44
Shirt- YR04, 07
Jeans- B93, 99
Star patch- Y15, YR23
Bottle- E11, B41, B000, N0
Cat- E81, C3, N0

I made a video to show how i did mine using my cricut/gypsy.
