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 Hu g s! 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.

Supplies:

Thanks so much for visiting the Lawn Fawn blog, have an amazing day!

Karin used Give It a Whirl to create a special birthday card for a child, even spelling out the milestone year!

Karin’s birthday card features Elephant Parade and Elephant Parade Add-On critters in a Give It a Whirl interactive element. She stamped, colored and masked the elephants before adding the pretty stenciled sky and grass on both pieces of the Give It a Whirl. (Be sure to check out the Intro to Give It a Whirl video for detailed assembly instructions.)

For the background, Karin used Distress ink to blend beautiful color before adding little butterflies and Henry’s ABCs. Then she attached this panel to a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle, finally adding the Give It a Whirl element.
