Magic Halloween

Last weekend I had the honor of babysitting my 3 grandsons.  I say honor because I don't get the opportunity very often and they are the 3 best kids I know.  They are so well behaved, don't get me wrong they still get into stuff, but it's usually stuff that makes me laugh.  They are 2, 6 and 10 and adorably cute.  At least in my "unbiased" opinion.  ;

The 6 year old loves interactive cards so I thought - oh, a magic card!  I always wanted to make one.  So I made three Halloween magic slider cards, they always get their own individual cards for the holidays.  When I delivered them, they didn't quite know what to do with them.  It did have the 10 year old baffled for a little bit.  I think I liked them more than the boys did.  So back to the drawing board for Christmas. 

Here are the cards that I made.

I used two of the new Halloween sets in the 2016 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, Jar of Haunts and the bundle Spooky Fun stamp set and the Halloween Scenes Edgelits. 

This is what they look like when they are pulled open:

Here are my three adorable grandsons and me.

They were a lot of fun to make, but I did learn a couple things. 

• One was when you are closing up the back of the card, the instructions I saw mentioned putting Dimensionals along the sides, I ended up taking them out, my slider kept getting caught on it.  Maybe I didn't it wrong. 
• The second thing I did was put a Dimensional edge on the bottom of the Window Sheet and the top of where it slides out, where you couldn't see it on the Pumpkin Pie, as stoppers. 
• Third, I used a Project Life Cards and Labels Framelit to make my window instead of cutting it open with the Paper Trimmer. Not the largest one, the second largest.

Instructions:

I'm not going to reinvent the wheel.  Here is a video from Stampin' Up showing how they are made.
