Whatever Wednesday - Slider Card Instructions

Have you tried making a slider card?  Today I am posting instructions for a slider card.

Begin with cs 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", with the long edge along the top of a paper trimmer.  Score at 4" and 8".

Cut:  With long edge of cs along the top of paper trimmer, line up the top edge of the cs
at 7 1/4".

Make a cut from 5/8" to 4 3/4".

Move paper to 4 3/4".  Cut from 5/8" to 4 3/4" (exact same cut as before).

Next, get a different color cs measuring 4 3/4" x 3 7/8".  You will be creating the pull-out piece.  With the longest edge at the top of the paper trimmer, line it up at 2".  Cut all the way down
to 3 5/8" (almost all the way down).

To make the front piece for the card, cut a white piece of cs measuring 2 3/8" x 4".  Stamp two different images, one onto the right and another onto the left halves of the white cs (avoid stamping along the center of the cs).

Punch a half circle on the end of the large cs piece to create the grip area - center the punch between the two slits that you cut.  Apply sticky strip along the bottom edge of cs.

Adhere the white stamped cs to this piece with the half-circle grip, centering it between the two slit lines.

Now insert the pullout into the cut lines.  The easiest way to do this is to turn the card over.  Line up the half punched circle end of the base with the largest end of the slit piece of cs (the smaller half of the small piece of cs should be on the left side, and the largest half of it should be directly above the half punched circle).  Simply weave the smallest side of the little cs piece into the card slit and back out again. 

The second photo shows what it will look like from the back.  Use regular Scotch type to tape the slit closed so it stays together.

  
 

Turn the card so it is right side up again and use a bone folder to give a nice crease on the score lines.

Remove sticky strip and seal the card together.

Stamp a greeting on the card front, then add a greeting onto the left square panel.

The left panel can be white cs measuring 1 1/2" x 2" and layered on a contrasting color cs measuring 1 3/4" x 2 1/8".

Punch a hole into the grip area of the pull insert, centering the hole within the punched half circle.
