Yesterday's SCS Challenge was to use little stamps. When I read the write up I knew EXACTLY what stamp I would be using. Tractor by A muse was perfect for the job!
I just love this little stamp! It is so darn cute. My 4.5 year old son LOVES John Deere tractors so I just had to make it a green, yellow and black tractor.
This is what the finished card looks like...
And if you feel like making it into a slider card then this is what you will get:
However, if you feel like having snap card then this is what you will get:
And when you open it this is what it will look like:
A close up will reveal this:
You'll notice there is a little white circle with a + sign on it. The little white circle with the - sign on it is hidden under the cuttlebugged panel at the top. I took this picture to show you the button because the finished product looks like this:
And if you have NO idea what the magnets are that I am talking about this is what they look like:

What a cute card! Thanks for sharing the "how to." The pictures are a big help and are done very well.
This is such a great card Alli! Love the John Deere, my FIL is a farmer so we get a lot of exposure to tractors. Think I need to pick up that stamp!
That is so cool with the snap closures and everything. I have to agree with you that the tractor is totally adorable!

What a great card Alli! I love those snap closures! I used them for several projects already! I am working on a tractor card as well. I just have to add the sentiment. I am trying to come up with a cute one.
Very cute card. I love the idea, but will have to do it in red! That is the color of choice on our farm. Thanks for the wonderful directions!
