An Extra Free Tag Slider Card Project for Christmas.

This is my design

Materials:

Cardstock:   2  x Real Red 10.5 x 14 cm  for Base Card.

                         1  x  Whisper White  7.5 x 12 cm to make the sliding Tag.

                         1  x  Whisper White 10.5 x 5 cm crimped horizontally and tear roughly.

                         1  x  Whisper White  10 x 12.5 cm has the greeting on it. 

                         1  x  Baja Breeze 10.5 x 5 cm crimped horizontally and tear  roughly.

Accessories:  Ribbon, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals. Scalpel, Ruler and Pencil. 

Step 1.   Stamp and colour your images first.

Step 2:   Attach Baja Breeze and Whisper White together.   I put the White on top because when you pull the card the 

 insert is white and I wanted a definite water line.

 

The measurements are in cm.

 Step 3:   Measure down 2cm from the top and in 2cm from each side.   Now cut  vertical lines 10.5 cm down.  Do this on both Sides then join the cuts to make a flap.

Step 4:    Score 1.5 cm from the bottom cut (only on the flap)  Then at 4.5 cm and the last score line is at the top of the card between the beginning of the cuts.

Step 5.   Place adhesive along the bottom of the white tag.  Then attach the tag to the 1.5 cm scored section of the flap only.   This becomes the working mechanism.

Step 6.   Attach the second piece of white  to the base card and then stamp a greeting  towards the top. 

Step 7.   The back and the front can now be stuck together.  

Step  8.   All that is left to do is decorate the card with your crimped card and attach the coloured image. 

Step 9.    Last of all attach the ribbon to the tag.  This just makes it easier to push in and pull out.

Enjoy and keep stamping  Kym

Happy Christmas Mate! Slider Card

Very Merry Slider Card with an Invisible Mechanism.

  By Kym Smiley

Card Starts in this positions

Intermediate / Advanced 

Materials:  

Stampin’ Up! Products

• Real Red, Baja Breeze, Whisper White Card, Watercolour Paper
• Blush Blossom, Baja Blue, Ballet Blue and Real Red Ink
• Happy Christmas, Mate! Short and Sweet Stamp Sets
• Crimper
• Paper Snips
• Sticky Tape
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Small Oval and Wide Oval Punch

Step 1.  Cut and fold real red base card 15 x 21cm.

Step 2.  Stamp Santa onto Watercolour paper with Stazon, colour and cut out Santa.

Step 3.  Tear in half a piece of horizontal pre-crimped whisper white 15 x 10cm.

Step 4.  Tear the top off Baja breeze and whisper white 15cm x 4cm.  

 

Step 5.  Place the blue card between the white pieces and keep tearing till they look like water and waves.

Step 6.  Sticky tape is super sticky.  Add tape to both sides of the other torn pieces and stick them together.

Step 7.  On another piece of scrap white card trace around the Santa cut out.

Step 8.  Using Sticky Tape attach a second cut down outline to the back of the painted Santa.

 

Step 9.  Add a Dimensional to the back ready for them next step.

The Mechanism

Step 10.  Punch two Wide ovals and attach together with a dimensional near the bottom.

Step 11.  Slip the joined white and blue card down between the ovals and the crimped white in the front space between the Santa and the other side of the wide ovals. 

Step 12.  The ovals may need to be trimmed off level with the waves if they can be seen.  This depends on the type of image you are using.  Make sure your waves are not too small and keep the tape down low on the crimped card or the mechanism will get stuck in the tape at the bottom.

Step 13.  Place it on the sides and base of the crimped card.

Step 14.  If it is not slipping smoothly trim some card from the straight edge of the blue and white it should be around 2 cm wide.  It is not seen so it could be small if necessary.

Step 15  Attach all three pieces of card together with the Santa in position.  I had not put the Santa on when this photo was taken so refer to the picture of the finished card.

 Step 16.  Stamp the word and punch it out pop up behind the Santa.

 I have several more Slider Cards to share with you soon.  I have a series of Happy Christmas Mate Cards published in Issue 20 of Simple Cards Australian Edition.  (The Slider card instructions are not in the article).

Till then happy stamping.      Kym
