Several stampers have asked for directions on how I did my slider card, so thought I would post them here for all to use. This is the first time I have done this, so I hope that it all makes sense.
You will need:
1 peice of card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 (card base)
1 peice of cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (card front)
2 peices of cardstock 1 5/8 x 4 5/8 - stuck together for stability (slider)
scrap peice of cardstock to stamp your image on (I doubled this one for stability too)
How to:
1) take card front and stamp any background image that you want
2) flip over the card front and on the back (with pencil) mark the area you would like to cut out (for my card it was 4 x 1 3/
. Using an exacta knife and straight edge, cut out this area. I like the slider on the right hand side of the card, so directly accross from the area where the slider is going to be, I punched 1/2 of an oval.
3) If you want any image to be reveiled when you slide the slider (and in my case, when you flip the corner), now would be a good time to do that. I placed my card front on top of the base and then very lightly traced the cut out area, I removed the card front, did my stamping, and then erased the lines.
4) flip your card front over again (wrong side should be up) and place a strong adhesive on the outside edges of all but the right hand side of the card, as well as the same 3 sides of the cut out, 3/8 of an inch from the edge of the cut out
5) you are now ready to stick the card front onto the folded card base.
6) insert your doubled up slider (prepared the way you want it) all the way into the space left open for the slider. Once again with strong adhesive, stick your stamped image (base for this should be bigger than the opening for the slider) to the far left hand side of the slider. Trim any slider that is outside of the card. Open slider and put a pull sign on it (for those who won't figure that out to pull it on there own)
I think that is it. Hope this helps you
