Pun Fun Double Slider

One of my demonstrator friends is making a bunch of Rocket themed projects for a customer's, son's birthday.  When we were talking about her projects and she was showing me her prototypes I got the idea for a double-slider invitation.  I told her I would stamp one up for fun, I finally got it made this morning.  Since I will see her tomorrow I thought I better follow through and have it to show her!  So, Fontella, if you are out there, this post is for you!

Here is the outside of the card. 

I used the "You're invited" stamp from the  Hugs and Wishes Stamp set.  To get it lined up, centered and evenly spaced I used my stamp-a-ma-jig. Gotta love that tool! 

I have a confession to make regarding my color selection.  I challenged myself to use Brilliant Blue, because I just don't like it.  My friend Britiney has been showing me things she likes with this color, so I decided I needed to find the good in Brilliant Blue.  And, I admit I do like it here on this card!  Yeah, it is good to step outside your comfort zone!  The DSP I used is from the East Coast Prep Collection, that is where I got the other colors I used to completed this card.

I love how the Star punches and stripped grosgrain ribbon accessorize the front of this card.

And, here is the card with the sliders pulled out.  I wanted to feel like when you pulled it out, the rocket was blasting off! 

I stamped the rocket image from "Pun Fun" on glossy white card stock with black Staz On and colored it with my Stampin' Write Markers.  They blend so beautifully on Glossy card stock and colors stay crisp and bold.  Once it was all colored I went over the dots on the rocket with my White Gel pen, they were just to small to avoid coloring. 

For the Invite info, I printed it out using the Little Lamb font from the Write me a Memory CD II.  Lastly, I sponged some stars with Bashful blue ink.  I really like how it turned out. 

Double-sliders are lots of fun.  If you want to try your hand at them, there is a great tutorial on SplitcoastStampers, here.  Just follow along and create your own double-slider card!

Happy Stampin'
