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.

Waterfall Fun Fold Card Instructions

Card Base: 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”

Supplies Needed:

• Card Base: 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” (standard size)

• Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4” x 5 1/4”

• White Cardstock (back piece): 4” x 5 1/4”

• Strip for anchor piece: 1” x 4 1/4”

• 4 squares of colored cardstock: 2” x 2”

• 4 squares of white cardstock: 1 3/4” x 1 3/4”

• Waterfall strip (mechanism): 2” x 9” scored at:

• 2”, 2 1/4”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/4”

• Optional: Ribbon and/or punch for pull tab

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Prepare the Waterfall Strip:

• Score the 2” x 9” piece at 2”, 2 1/4”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/4”.

• Fold on all score lines to loosen the paper and create flexibility.

2. Prepare the Waterfall Panels:

• Layer each 1 3/4” white square onto a 2” colored cardstock square.

• Stamp or decorate as desired.

3. Attach Panels to Waterfall Strip:

• Starting at the bottom (near the 2” score line), attach each layered square panel between the score lines, working your way up. Align each square so it fits neatly within the fold lines.

4. Assemble the Card Front:

• Glue your 4” x 5 1/4” Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto the 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card base.

• Take your 1” x 4 1/4” strip, and glue just the ends to the card front about 1” from the bottom of the DSP to create a strap or anchor (do not glue the middle).

5. Attach the Waterfall Mechanism:

• Slide the bottom end (the end with no squares) of the 2” x 9” waterfall strip behind the 1” anchor strip.

• Add glue only to the front of the 1” strip where it will touch the back of the bottom panel. This holds the first panel in place and allows the rest to “waterfall” when pulled.

6. Optional Finishing Touches:

• Add a piece of ribbon to the bottom of the waterfall strip to help with pulling.

• You can punch a half-circle at the bottom center of the card for easier access to the pull tab.
