Good morning and happy Fri-yay! Hope you’ve had a good week. We’ve had single digit temps – rain – sun – clouds – thunder – freezing temps (again). So – the entire gamut of Georgia Winter. I think we MIGHT have a warmer weekend but…I’m not all that sure. I just wait till it’s time to go outside and then figure out what to wear! Today’s card is another Secret Slider fun fold card. I really like them – and I had a lot of folks ask me for a full-length how-to video after they watched the 1 minute reel on the card I did a few weeks ago. So – here ’tis! This time, I used some of our bright Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP (an Online Exclusive available now) and the darling Cutest Crew bundle – coming soon as an Online Exclsuives in March. Take a look-see:
You’ll see this card – along with the other Design Team members’ cards – at this month’s Creative Creases Challenge! 😎 We’re ALWAYS wanting to see pretty fun folds so…I hope hope hope you’ll make one (or three!) and come share them with us! 🙂
I started with a 5 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Balmy Blue cardstock that I scored at 2 3/4″ and 6 3/4″. I folded both score lines in – like a gate card.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere panels of Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP to the front and inside panels.
To make the slider, I scored a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock at 3/8″ on the short side.
On a 3 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a Cutest Crew sentiment and the flowers image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the foliage image with the Light Lost Lagoon, Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. In the corners, I stamped the adorable bird tracks image a few times in Tuxedo Black. Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the Lemon Lolly slider.
I laid a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the 3/8″ section on the left side of the slider and put the slider in place inside the card. I tucked the left edge of the slider right up to (but not over!) the left score line of the card base.
Then I pulled the cover off the Tear & Tape and laid the left front panel down – to adhere it to the Tear & Tape.
When I opened up the card base – it looked like this.
I placed Tear & Tape on the top edges of the inside of the opposite short panel. I folded the slider back down (so the sentiment side was up) and partially closed the left side of the card base – then closed the right panel – “capturing” the slider.
At this point, I adhered the whole card to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock.
For the front, I used the large banner die in the Stylish Shapes die set to cut out two banners from a piece of Bubble Bath Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP. I used Liquid Glue to adhere them to the card front.
I used the next-to-largest Stylish Shapes circle to cut out a Lemon Lolly cardstock circle and the next smaller die to cut out a light Shaded Spruce circle from the Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP. I popped the small circle on the larger Lemon Lolly circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals – then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue. Note: I pretty much centered the circles on the closed card – making them offset from the banners.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the little Cutest Crew birds in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored them with the Light Lost Lagoon, Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, Timid Tiger and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends and cut them out with the coordinating die from the set.
On a piece of Timid Tiger Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP, I stamped the Cutest Crew sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes banner die.
I adhered the sentiment – and then the die cut birds – with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the dies in the set, I cut out Bubble Bath butterflies and adhered them with Liquid Glue. Then I cut out some little Basic White flowers and adhered five of them to the smaller front panel with Liquid Glue – and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Cutest Crew bird tracks in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front…
…and more of the Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! I really love this fun fold – and – you could even slide a gift card into the inside pocket! Card and gift all in one! Or – check out the ACTUAL gift card holder I made this past Christmas! The Cutest Crew bundle (available on 3 March) is adorable – with the birds and puppies and kittens – stamped AND die cut! With all the fun sentiments, too! Splash of Sparkles Speciatly DSP (available now) is a great choice if you’re looking for bright, cheerful and fun!
I hope you like!
