Slider Card Instructions
Supplies Needed:
• Cardstock (half sheet: 5½” x 8½”)
• Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4” x 5½” and additional for layering
• Coordinating cardstock: approx. 3½” x 5½”
• Wonderful Thoughts Dies (or similar slider die)
• Strip of cardstock: 1” x 8”
• Dimensionals
• Stamps and sentiment
• Embellishments (e.g., gems)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Card Base:
• Take a 5½” x 8½” piece of cardstock and score it in half at 4¼”. Fold to create your card base.
2. Cut & Prepare DSP:
• Cut your DSP to 4” x 5½”.
• Use the Wonderful Thoughts Dies to cut two slits into this DSP for your slider mechanism.
3. Create the Slider Layer:
• Cut a piece of cardstock to approx. 3½” x 5½”.
• Layer a coordinating piece of DSP over this cardstock using Dimensionals (leave a slight gap behind for the slider strip).
4. Assemble the Slider Mechanism:
• Take your 1” x 8” cardstock strip and slide it behind the DSP and in front of the 3½” x 5½” base layer, through the slits you cut. This will serve as your sliding piece.
5. Add Slider Elements:
• Attach your die-cut images or elements to both ends of the strip:
• Right-hand side: Use Dimensionals to anchor it firmly in place.
• Left-hand side: Use Dimensionals within the slit only so it can move freely along the track.
6. Decorate & Assemble:
• Stamp your sentiment and embellish the front of the card as desired.
• Attach the finished slider layer to the front of your card base.
7. Finish the Inside:
• Stamp your 4” x 5½” white cardstock with the inside sentiment and adhere it to the inside of the card.
