Fun In The Sun Popup Slider Card

I tell you, I really had a lot of fun with this card. First because this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit "Fun In The Sun" is my favorite kit in a long time. I love all things beachy, and this had it all. Second, when I saw this Popup Slider fun fold I knew that I wanted to combine these two things.

I actually spent about 6 hours in my craft room yesterday. First making my trial card with so many elements from the Fun In The Sun kit. I did a lot of cutting and pasting and sponging. It really is a stepped up card. I wanted to still use the Fun In The Sun kit for this video but make a simpler card for this second Popup Slider card.

I did run into a first bumps in the road, first I miss measured one of the elements of the mechanism, then my memory card became full and I didn't notice, so I made a second card attempt. Then the sun came creeping in on me (this part was not fun in the sun LOL) so I started a third card. Whew, no wonder I was in the craft room for 6 hours, but the time actually flies by when I'm having fun crafting.

This is the original card where I did a lot more work, with sponging and cutting different pieces of the laser cut images from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

This is the card in the video:
