Blue and Yellow

I love the combination of blue and yellow. Blue is my favorite color and yellow just adds a pop of cheer. These colors just make me happy. The first card was done with the Floral Phrases stamp set and the Detailed Floral Thinlits Die. Night of Navy and So Saffron provide the colors in card stock and ink.

I made this slider card using Dawn Griffith's tutorial. You can find it here. If you're like me, you like to have some of the directions written as you watch a video. I jotted down the basics to use while watching the video, you can see them below.

cut two pieces of card stock 4 ¼ x 5½
cut card stock 3 ¼ x 4 ¾
line cardstock up on cutter at 3 ½ using the cutting blade; using the cutting arm to cut from ¾ to 4 ¾
cut the other side the same way, (line card stock up on cutter at 3 ½ using the cutting blade, using the cutting arm to cut from ¾ to 4 ¾)
lide one end (bottom) at ¾ and cut to connect the cut lines already made
line card stock up at 1 ¼ on the cutter and score between the two cut lines
slide card stock down to 3 inches and score between cut lines
slide card stock down to ¾ and score between cut lines
apply Tear & Peel Tape to bottom area where you scored at 1 ¼
line your slider piece onto the tape trying to keep it centered between the cut lines.
use one inch circle punch to punch a half of a circle out on the top of the pumpkin pie only
line the front and back piece up to punch the back layer. Punching out the back piece with 1 inch circle punch
