I wanted to use the cool cut die Pop up party slider and see what I could come up with...

- Start with a green cardstock and die cut the slider base

- Use a grey cardstock and create a card base to layer the slider portion on

- Inside the slider stamp the hip hip bee-haw sentiment using black ink 

- Die cut a postage edge circle from grey cardstock and adhere to half of the slider 

- Add elements. Die cut sun and clouds

- Stamp, colour and fussy cut the adorable donkey and adhere to the scene using foam tape for pop up dimension

- Finish off the card with some sequins.

Create little scenes with die cut elements!!
