Hi, crafty friends!

This is Eiko. I make light up sliding scooter card using Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

When you pull the tab, the scooter slides and the heart glows.

I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

  • 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches red cardstock.
  • 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches stella remix pattern paper.
  • Die cut pattern paper and white cardstock with 4 x 5 1/4 inches Outside in Stitched Rectangle die.
  • Die cut cilantro cardstock with grassy hillside borders die.
  • Two pull tab parts.
  • Die cut the paper with small tab and sleeve dies.
  • Small white vellum part.
  • Stamp the sentiment on black cardstock, embossed with white embossing powder and die cut with small extra sentiment banner die.
  • Stamp the desk, bunny, fox, scooter, speech bubble, sitting mouse, heart wand, bottle, and small hearts onto white cardstock. Color the parts with Copic markers and die cut with coordinating die.
  • Die cut pattern paper and white cardstock with the Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On elements see picture for placement.
  • Place the slit die 1 1/4 inches from the bottom and 3 1/2 inches from the right.

Place the parts on the pattern paper, make a hole at the heart position.
