BSS MONDAY IDEA -Slider Card - Are we There Yet?

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Today's idea is a Slider Card.

Had not made one of these in awhile.  While shopping at BSS recently, Sharon showed me a new die that makes the slit or channel that you want to slide, and the pull tab and sliding mechanism.

Now, I have to admit the directions are very limited  that come with the die, but they have a video tutorial

on their website with step by step instructions. See link below.

Here is my card:

Click the images to see them larger for detail.

What I used:

White card stock card base 71/2 inches long by 7 inches wide

scored and folded in half

Blue card stock mat, 7 x 3 inches,  centered and adhered to the white

card base

White card stock mat 6 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches.  I embossed

with the Sizzix brick wall AFTER cutting the slider opening

with the CutUps Slider die 057 by The cat's Pajamas.

Because I made a long card, I cut it twice for one continuous 

opening, by laying the die down overlapping the first cut by

about 1/2 inch.  The slider opening is about 1/2 up from the bottom

on the white card stock mat.  After you cut the opening

do your embossing.  Now just place foam tape or dots 

right along the edge and at the corners.  Use small pieces

so your insert with your message slides through the end opening easily.

Don't forget to leave the end open so your message card will

slide in.  Once you have the mat with the slider in place, attach

one end of the slider mechanism to your image that will slide and

the other end will be attached to the insert, so when you pull the insert

out, your image will ride along the slit.

Finish off your card by attaching the pull tab to your slider paper.
