July's Card Swap

Here is my card for July's card swap group- the theme this month is interactive cards. This is a push/pull card or slider card. When you pull on the green slip of paper at the top the bottom pulls out at the same time. It wasn't too hard to make once my friend Amy figured it out and showed me (thanks, Amy!). I don't know how well you can tell in the picture, but I have some images stamped in a slightly darker shade of green on the slider portions. Hope my group likes it!

June's card

This month's card group theme is masculine adult (no baby boy or kid boy cards, something you would give your dad or husband). This one was hard for me. I tend to make baby, flower, or cutesy cards, I tend to avoid this type of card. Everything I tried looked too feminine, but I finally came up with this one. It is not my favorite, but I think it can pass for masculine. (sorry if it is hard to see, the little tag says "celebrate" over and over and my shadow is partly over it)
