Trekking the "Winter Neighbourhood" (my first slider)

This sled slider was my very first slider card and how fun it was. These little guys go for a walk when you pull on the snowball. I lurrrrve those houses and that little snowman. The artist of all these images, Holly of Eat Cake Graphics fame, is my favourite stamp illustrator.

You all know too well how I adore the cling mounted indexed stamps from Paper Garden Projects madly ('cause I never shut up about their loverliness) but I exraspecially love the mounting for this Winter Neighbourhood stamp since it's a little over 6 inches wide & the registration makes for perfect placement whether you want the whole neighbourhood or just a coupla houses...

Supplies:

Stamps: Wyatt Builds a Snowman & Sarah Pulls Nicky and Otto & Winter Neighbourhood stamp

Paper:
8.5”x11” sheet of Wedding White Cardstock
8.5”x11” sheet of Bazzill Icy Blue Cardstock 8.5”x11” sheets of Bazzill Bling Sugar Daddy cardstock

Embellishments: Holographic glitter

From your stash or Paper Garden Projects:
Tombow adhesive
Oh so Sticky tape
Black Versafine or other waterproof ink
Copic markers or other colouring medium (I've used Putty, ...

White & brown thread, paper piercer & needle
Scissors

How-to:

Cut cardstock pieces to measure:

1) Cut Icy Blue Cardstock to measure 10 1/2 x 6 2/8 inches & fold in half to make the main card.
2) Cut Bazzill Bling Sugar Daddy mat to measure 6x5 inches
3) Cut 2 Icy Blue Cardstock mats: #1 to measure 5 1/2 inches x 3 2/8" & #2 to measure 3/4" x 5 1/2 inches
4) Cut 3 pieces of pieces of Wedding White Cardstock: #1 for the houses 3 inches by 5 2/8 inches #2 for the snow at the bottom 5 2/8 inches x 1 inch (tear the top so that it is about 5/8 of an inch high.) #3 should be 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 to fit in behind all the bits of the slider.

Stamp the images & colour:

Stamp houses onto the 3 by 5 2/8 inches Wedding White Cardstock.

These are coloured with Copic Markers in a two-toned monochromatic scheme with these blues & browns (Proof that you can have fun colouring with only a couplefew Copics!):

Frost Blue B00 , Nile Blue BG45, Warm Grey No 3, Putty YG-91, Clay E44 & a Colourless blender 000 (Those Copics are all on sale too!...In case you (or Santa) is in the market for some Copics.) ;O)

Stamp images (Wyatt Builds a Snowman & Sarah Pulls Nicky and Otto) with Versafine in a row on a piece of Wedding White Cardstock. (Emboss if desired) Cut around them leaving a footing of snow to attach to the slider.

& then build the card. Here's a video for how to make a slider card by Laura (this one is put together a little differently, but it's a great video that shows the dime & dimensionals.) :O)

And that's all. Sorry if this was a bit scattered. I am on day number i-dunno-know-what of the migraine that never ends. PURE Evil.

Happy Stampin' You Stamperific Peoples You!
