Pop Up Slider Card + Blogger Tips + WOYWW

(Warning.. photo heavy post)
Hi there everyone, today sharing a blogger tip at End of this post - on how to link multiple cards from one post to any blog challenge site.

It’s Wednesday so time for WOYWW or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday over at Julia’s at the Stamping Ground! To my desk!

Taken yest., about to start a Rudolph Day card, for Mo’s Christmas Challenge (here) that runs from 25th to end of each month. In centre I’ve a very pretty card received last Christmas for upcycle? Left a stamp set may use. Stamp and dies at back centre  standing up are waiting to be used. 😉
Far right is card shown on last week’s post (should be in mail). Under it, a pile of card bits left from making pop up Mario Kart card for very special 10th birthday!

Here’s the various stages of pop up slider card, I accidentally cut through too much but repaired it! 😉 
To cut rectangle you use rectangle die BUT don’t cut one end.. misjudged, cut just a bit. But all fixed!

This is other side of pop up slider mechanism scored + popped up; always seem to forget one part in steps. This time forgot to put writing piece that goes inside before attaching to base. Oops! Removed from base and corrected. For previous tutorial with great video link see here.. on video the crafter eyeballs it ... no measuring! Love it. ❤️

Finished card... *flat, (partially 3D'ed the image, it's courtesy of Google)

and *close up (font used is Mario Kart font, free from DaFont site),

then *popped up.
Below is Rudolph day card, a very simple upcycle! (*flower on Rudolph card is a Waratah NSW floral emblem, Sturt Desert Pea below is SA floral emblem)

Now to Aussie shots, continuing tale of special folk in centre of Western Australia. *Skip these if like.

Called into Sandstone after had been out to London Bridge.

Apparently London Bridge was wide enough for a horse and buggy in years gone by ... I wouldn’t be game to walk across it today 😳 The mauve wildflowers added to the colour palate of the landscape... very pretty! 

Set up camp between Sandstone and Mt Magnet. Needed to put on tea. 😋 Corn meat, white onion sauce, baked veggies... who says food on the road isn’t tasty?

Mt Magnet was much smaller than I imagined. It only has a population of around 500.

Next photo is out of order, from yest, these are Sturt Desert Pea, a stunning red bloom, the display went on for more than 20 km (12.5 miles)!! It’s spring wildflower time in WA. 

***Apologies to Marit,** last week I commented on all folk, but her. I tried three or four different ways and times to comment, but Wordpress blog insistence that my comment was spam each and every time, even if edited altered comment, caused me to give up. Sorry! 
Tip for Multiple Linking on Challenge Blogs.
 I complained to Linky folk and received a simple tip to solve it. Seems to work on all variety of link sites
Card one do normal link for first link
Second card you just add directly to the end #3 if more do #4 #5 and so on for some reason you don’t do #2.
So mine would be:
Card 1 https://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com/2019/08/stencilled-oxides-and-butterfly.html
Card 2 https://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com/2019/08/stencilled-oxides-and-butterfly.html#3
And next one #4, so on, hopefully that helps solve multiple linking from one blog post issue. 
Thought of Day:
Well, God bless everyone and thanks so much for popping over for peek and chat, may God richly bless you and those you love,
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. Xx
Thought of Day:

This verse really encourages me to keep on keeping on, it WILL be worth it all. He fails Not. He picks us up when (not if) we do.

Tin Tin Pop up Slider Card +Snippets + WOYWW

Yes, somehow  it’s Wednesday again.. and time for WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday.
Pop over to Julia’s Stamping Ground to check out all the best crafty desks .. you learn soo much!

My desk today, kind of cleared as just finished a couple of cards, on right is my new cutter. New mini guillotine. I’m an old chalkie as we say here, or schoolie or teacher. We used guillotines so as crafter I love guillotines. One I had was Kaisercraft and ten years old, just wasn’t as good as it was so been looking for ages for new one. Till saw this one (Crafters’ Companion Mini Guillotine), I’d not found one in my price range that was real quality. I bought it for cutting technique, not scoring part as love my Martha Stewart board. 
See video demo here (ignore sales pitch, listen to facts 😊). Selling of other items helped pay for this and my new craft machine, which is such a blessing. Very grateful.

My desk on 15th May looked like this:
I was in midst of card for Daniel in France, he has received card so can share it here now.
It was a pop up slider card (for “How To” details see HERE on this blog post). Used for this one Tin Tin, we’d watched Tin Tin video together at his lovely French farmhouse last Aug. The part on my scoringboard was the slider action for the card and also the colouring of Penny black floral piece I’d stamped out. Sharing both cards here.

First to the Tin Tin card.. must admit these slider cards really work for these cartoon images ... they’re so much fun.

Image courtesy of Google again. Mostly hand cut except CCD pierced rectangle for image background. Wanted to 3D image but ran out of time. It takes a month to get to France from here.

Second card is with the Penny Black Stamp Floral Bouquet multi stamped shared back here. At the time I was not happy with first card I made. I worked out issue in my mind! It was yellow roses on that card, plus didn’t like whiteness of background card. I changed it since then and now happy with it. Here my new version with this stamp .. quite different as you’ll see.

Used SB divine Eloquence centre die for Sweet n Sassy “Wait on Lord” Stamp (actually has typo on it 😐). Lace is ODB Lace border. Colours on stamped floral are with DI and colours intensified with Tombows.

They really made it pop. Cardstock is disc. variety.
Took few Aussie photos today on way home. Our days are glorious and those winter crystal clear lights in sky are evident in these two pickies. Second image if scroll in has a surfer catching a wave as this is good break for surfing.. 

Well, that’s all for today. It’s late here again, as our Wed is nearly over, never seem to be organised but better bit late than not at all.
Happy WOYWW and may the Lord God richly bless you wherever you maybe.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
Blessings from God’s Word:

How the Lord understands.. when no one else. What a comfort this is, never alone! He's only a prayer away. 
Our Refuge and Strength as David says.

Mario Kart Pop Up Slider Card + WOYWW + Snippets

Well, another week flown... and this one was very eventful for yours truly, more of that later! To Desks of the World first - over at dear Julia’s desk at the Stamping Ground. 

Here I am making a pop up card... my desk as I left it last night. If you want the best tutorial on this card see this Video HERE! Was I ever glad to find this tutorial. My desk is midstream. Trying to work out what colours DP (disc. Stampin Up) to use. Have the pop up mechanism made and the 3D image of Mario and Luigi done, both done before went away. Prototype run through was on last week’s desk, if you want to scroll down. Really this method is quite an easy card, as there is no measuring, etc. However, I of course, made it more complex. The comedy of errors today as I completed the card, shows that I wasn’t with it. The best (or worst) was putting final card base on upside down! 😉 So cut it all down make new base and re-adhere! 😆 

The completed card, (image courtesy of Google) as a flat card, C5 size as it’s gone by Express post to Brisbane and that’s the Express envelope size. At least I thought to check that! 
Downloaded a Mario Kart Font from da Font site and installed it on Word for greeting.

The ribbon was to help pull up pop up mechanism. Rounded the corners of pull up mechanism cardstock and used fancy Star punch for ribbon hole, it was coloured with a Promarker to match card as had nought that shade.

The card popped out below. 
And a side view.

This beautiful pile of print out water colours for card toppers are by the lovely Sandra De... aren’t they ever so VERY clever?? Look at her blog HERE for more! We were so happy to finally meet up and have a cuppa together and maybe a bit of shopping! Sadly RosA wasn't  able to make it.

The eventful experience took place after I left Sandra, I tripped over a faulty tile and executed a face plant in the middle of Pitt St mall, 4pm Fri! Which necessitated a visit to Syd Hospital emergency via ambulance! Nothing like a bit of attention.(will report it, if I can) I’ve discovered a new shade in eye make up. 😁 Truly miraculous there are no broken bones or serious injuries, painful.. but not serious. God is gracious and so many kind caring hands to help.

My Aussie shots were taken down in the big smoke, they have lovely beaches there too! I was there with my uncle, and aunt's neice! We had an enjoyable meal together. 😊 

Well, thanks for popping over for a peek and a chat, I really am sorry I did not make one comment last week, not even on Julia’s blog. I barely had time to link up. 
Will do better this week, the trip was successful medically by the way and all is well. So very grateful.
Prayer hugs for every blessing on your way, Shaz in Oz.x
Thought for the day, a good verse to pray  and strive for:

Pop Up Slider Card + WOYWW + Mo's Christmas Challenge

This post is abbreviated as blogger ate it twice now.
Joining up with Scrappy mos Rudolph Day Christmas Challenge. It runs till 31st March.

Pop up slide card for protype on Technique.
Here tis. Both ways like normal 5 x7 card then popped and slide it out. 

It’s actually an upcycle of a previous years bought card. 
Showing close up I’ve verse inside the card, I particularly liked that and was glad to use it.

My desk. I’m joining up with WOYWW. 

Time poor especially after wrestling with blogger, so this will be a record short post. May struggle to comment too as will have limited data.
It’s in halfway mode of getting ready to make Mister Six’s birthday card in April, where has it all gone!?? There’s an assembly going on which will be revealed in next week’s post, God willing! I will also find again the link to the easiest by far video on it, took me ages to find it. So will show, all being well with blogger, a step by step.
Lastly to the Aussie shots, they’re taken by BiL family south of where I live, and inland in a bit - some of our lovely country side.

Happy WOYWW everyone, hopefully will get to link up and not sure of your time zone either. I’ll be in big smoke, hope to meet up with Sandra De and RosA, for those WOYWWers who know them, on Friday all being well.
Thanks for popping over for a peek and chat and may God bless your day where ever you may be, 
hugs Shaz in Oz.x

Thought for the day- in the midst of trial or in a day where the sun of encouragement is simply hidden, we can trust as a little child in our great God. We can rejoice in the things we can be certain of, and look in faith for Him to eventually sort out the rest. 
Praying  for those who maybe struggling. 
Sending prayer🙏🏻 🤗 hugs. X
