Today Chari shares a fun video featuring a Pull ‘n Slide Surprise with a hidden Tassel Tag bookmark! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out all the Design Team inspiration!


Chari combined Book Collection, Little Woodland Library Friends and colorful Really Rainbow papers to create a special Pull ‘n Slide Surprise!


Chari’s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise has a cute Tassel Tag bookmark hidden behind the slider!



The book-themed sentiment that Chari stamped on the bookmark is found in the Dream Big stamp set!


Audrey‘s summery Pull ‘n Slide Surprise features Outside In Stitched Strawberry and Stitched Strawberry Frame. She used a combination of Bitsy Blooms paper and Textured Dot Tropical cardstock to complement the strawberry theme!


When you pull the slider, this cute sentiment from How You Bean? Strawberries Add-On is revealed.


Grace‘s interactive card is so much fun and the perfect way to thank a favorite coach. It combines Giant You Are #1 and images from All-Star.


The fun color palette is from a combination of Bitsy Blooms and What’s Sewing On petite papers. Grace added a sentiment from Thanks, Thanks, Thanks and Quinn’s Capital ABCs.


The slider is the perfect place to tuck a gift card!


Megan‘s happy card is so sweet with a greeting from Long Distance Hugs! She paired it with all the cuteness from Yay, Kites!


I love how she used acetate to attach the kite and clouds, so they appear to be floating above the card.


Latisha created an adorable interactive card to welcome a new baby! It’s so sweet with the blue Bitsy Blooms Forget-me-not paper!


The sweet mama and baby of Elephant Parade are just so perfect for this simple baby card!


Mindy‘s card is filled summery images from On the Beach, All the Clouds and Life is Good! She ink-blended a beachy background on the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise panels.


And inside, these adorable mice from You Autumn Know and Really High Five are floating by on Pool Party floats! So cute!


Enjoy the Ride with Marine‘s delightful Coaster Critters interactive card! In addition to the amusement park roller coaster, she used images from Coaster Critters Flip Flop, Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes.


This cheery card includes a Henry’s ABCs greeting on the slider, while another cute scene appears below!


As always, Marine added lots of details with a Brick Stencil background and white gel pen highlights.


This Magic Iris Beehive Add-On is so gorgeous! Tammy used the beehive and bees with Tree Branches Backdrop: Landscape as the focal image of her Pull ‘n Slide Surprise.


Magic Messages is perfect to add the pretty greeting. Then Tammy added You’re a Keeper images to be revealed as the slider is pulled up.


Elena‘s Pull ‘n Slide Surprise is so adorable! She featured the cute critters of Little Woodland Library Friends with It’s a Bird and All the Clouds.


The clouds and birds float above the fun critter stack with help from acetate strips. And for a fun surprise, Elena tucked a gift card under the slider.

Mimi’s Fun Garden Maze Card


Save the date, April 19th, for another fun Create with Us! In this free class hosted by Kelly and Jenn, you’ll create two adorable cards featuring Stitched Garden Veggies & Stitched Root Veggies! You can follow along — or just pop in to say hi! — on YouTube Live. You will find all the information to craft with us HERE. We hope to see you there!

Mimi has a clever Veggie Happy card to inspire you today! She added an interactive element with Slide on Over Maze with a totally fun result!


I love how Mimi used the Slide on Over Maze to create a fun veggie garden and farmer’s market! The Veggie Happy set is so perfect too! The little patches of garden fit so nicely in the sections of the maze, with the cute mice tending to each one!


And how cute is the little Love Poems mouse in the wheelbarrow moving through the maze on his way to the farm stand? Mimi used the stand from Coaster Critters with another mouse from Simply Celebrate Critters.



Thank you for this super fun card inspiration, Mimi! I love your creativity!
