Good morning everyone! Welcome to this month’s Fun Fold Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?
I saw a cool fun fold out on the interwebs – it’s called a Secret Slider card – and I thought it was so cool that I wanted to give it a go! I decorated mine with sentiments and foliage from the Nature’s Symphony bundle plus pretty Nature Walk DSP and some Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper! Take a look-see:
The card that I saw – and borrowed the measurements from! – was made by Connie over at Simply Simple Stamping!!
I did a quick video on how to make this card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started with a 5 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Secret Sea 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 Nature Walk DSP to the front panels and the inside panel.
To make the slider, I scored a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock at 3/8″ on the short side.
I stamped a small leaf image from Nature’s Symphony twice in Secret Sea ink, without re-inking, in the corner of a 3 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped a Nature’s Symphony sentiment in Pecan Pie ink – and then adhered the panel to the 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. Then I laid the larger front panel down – to adhere to the Tear & Tape. The video will show you how this is done!
Then I placed Tear & Tape on the top edges of the inside of the opposite short panel. I closed the left side of the card base – and then closed the right panel – “capturing” the slider. Again – the video is the best way to see how to do this!
To decorate the front, I started by using two Glue Dots – just at the bottom – to adhere a Large Gold Hoop to the front panel of the card base.
Then, using the large foliage die in the Nature’s Symphony set, I cut out one leaf from Nature Walk DSP and one from Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. I adhered both of them to the panel with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped a Nature’s Symphony sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. I cut out the sentiment with the second-from-smallest Stylish Shapes circle die.
Using Stampin’ Seal+, I adhered a loopy bow of Secret Sea 3/8″ Bordered Open Weave Ribbon to the back of the sentiment.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment – with the ribbon – to the card front. Then I added seven Faux Bronze Hexagons.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the whole thing to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Nature’s Symphony leaves stamped twice (without re-inking) in Secret Sea ink on the front…
…and more of the Nature Walk DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Isn’t this the coolest fold? It reminds me a LOT of the gift card holder I made this past Christmas – which I loved! Decorated with the wunnermus Nature’s Symphony foliage and equally amazeballs Nature Walk DSP and Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper – it’s a super fun way to tell someone thank you, don’t you think?!
I hope you like!
