Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Secret Slider Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card.

The Details of My Secret Slider Alternative Card

I have been wanting to create a secret slider card and decided that the basket would make a great focal point on the left. Of course, I just had to have the bunny in the basket holding an Easter egg! He filled in the space nicely!

I stamped the grass in Shy Shamrock on a leftover piece of Balmy Blue card front even though you can’t see the flowers. Then, I stamped the egg and the sentiment tag provided.

Once the stamping was done, it was time to build the card. So, I used one of the Lemon Lolly card bases and cut it apart to create my card background. You could use a whole Lemon Lolly card base, but I wanted to use part of it for my mat on the front. 

Then, I scored the Sky Shamrock card stock according to the measurements below.

I decorated the front flap with the Lemon Lolly mat followed by the Balmy Blue. Then, I added my focal point of the basket with the bunny.

For the inside, I used the Easter Joy DSP to decorate the flaps. Then, I scored a leftover Balmy Blue card back according to the measurements below. I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White and added it to the Balmy Blue. The small flap was adhered to the left panel near the fold. Once that was done the right panel was adhered at the top and bottom with the sentiment piece slotted in between.

The finishing touch was to add the daffodils, twine and sequins to the front of my card.

My Other Alternative Cards

Two cards I created using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit were easel cards. I scored the fronts at 2-1/8”. For one, I followed the instructions and just added a strip of envelop with a Shy Shamrock mat for the inside stopper. For the other, I used the floral oval and added some stamped Easter eggs in matching colours.

For another alternative card, I create a regular card using the leftover pieces from the other cards. I used the Arch Dies to create a fun focal point that allowed the Easter eggs to be “hidden” amongst the grass and flowers. For the extra eggs, I used the leftover frame from the punched out eggs to trace the outline of the eggs and fussy cut them out. I used a piece of leftover envelope flap for one, Lemon Lolly card stock for the other and a stamped egg from the Kit for the final one.

My Purr-Fect Day Card 

My Purr-Fect Day Card - a birthday card with a cat holding balloons as he floats up
My Purr-Fect Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Cat With Balloons. Isn’t he just the cutest floating with his balloons!

The Details of My Purr-Fect Day Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline slider card so that the cat looked like he was floating up as the mechanism was pulled!

So, I created a scene with the slimline clouds die from Whimsy and the stitched sun from the Spring Showers Dies. Next, I layered the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper behind it to add more clouds. Once that was done, I added a house that I fussy cut from the P13 paper and layered a few stitched hills in front.

To keep my card simple since I didn’t want to detract from the slider, I added a sentiment die cut with a stitched rectangle.

Now that the front of the card was done, it was time to create the mechanism for the slider using the Slimline Pull Tab Dies by Heffy Doodle. Tip: I used the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! to create enough dimension between the front of the card and the card base to help the slider mechanism to move smoothly.
