Slider Card Class

1. Slider Card Class Introduction: Hello and welcome to the slider card class. It's ladder carts are very fun and interactive way of creating just a different element to your cards. That can be a little bit unexpected. My name is Cheryl and I'm gonna be teaching you this class. Let's go take a look at what we're gonna be doing in this class. We're gonna be creating two different slider cars. We're gonna be doing one with stamping and coloring with a slider that pulls up. And I'll take you through that step-by-step. And then we're gonna be doing one that has different dye cuts put together and creating a slider that pulls from right to left. But once you understand the mechanism, they're really easy to create and whatever theme you want. And you can even go so far as to have one that pulls down this one here I show you briefly, but I don't show you how to make it because once you know how to make it, you can do it on your own with whatever theme you are wanting. So we're gonna do the one with stamping and coloring first. Like I said, I'll walk you through everything individually. All of the supplies that are used in this class are listed on the supply sheet that comes with this class. And those supplies are linked to where you can purchase them if you would like. I'll also have the card stock sizes listed on the supply list as well as the scoring measurements. Now once you learn how to do this mechanism, like I said, you can do it in any theme. The sky is the limit. Let's go start creating a slider card. 2. Birthday Birds Slider Card: Stamping & Colouring part 1: So this here is the first card that we're going to work on. The very first step is to stamp and color are images. I have two pieces of card stock here that are 3.3 quarters by five and a quarter inches. One of them is going to be for the slider part inside. So I'm going to set that aside. And then I'm going to use one of them for my image. Now there is some stamping on the inside, but I'm going to suggest waiting until the card has put together to do that. Just because it only raises a little bit for this exact design. And because it's not embossed or anything, There's nothing that needs to be done with it other than stamping, so that can wait till later. So I'm going to color this with alcohol ink markers. So I'm using a black momental pad to stamp with. If you are using something else to color it, you can stamp with something else, stays on just a dye ink pad. You could still stamp with this for other coloring as well. But for alcohol ink markers, you definitely don't want to be using. Stays on. My favorite thing to stamp with for them, for using them as the Momento ink because it's not going to react with the alcoholic markers. The stamp set that I'm using is this mini bird crazy and things. It has a lot of different accessories to go with it, which is one of the reasons why I love it. And it's also perfectly sized four cards. I'm just stamping my images quickly. Typically I like to let them sit for a few minutes just to let the ink completely dry. I'm just going to put my stamps up here to clean off later. This one here has some balloons that we're going to use and I'm going to stamp them on a scrap piece of paper and then they're gonna be cut out once they are all completely dry. A little birthday hat on this guy here. Now, I didn't bother masking off the top of his head. I find that once it's colored, you really don't see that detail too much anyways, if you wanted, if that bothers you, you could always create a mask with some copy paper and put some removable adhesive on it to to remove that top of his head. Alright, last step, I'm going to put the sentiment. And the sentiment is from this one here, which is a coordinating stuff that goes with it. But the status, the sentiments themselves I often use with other with other cards as well. I just like the sentiments that are on there. This particular one is perfect with the birds stamps. A little birdie told me, I'm just going to grab some scrap paper for those balloons because I'm cutting them out. Doesn't need to be anything special. And I often keep the scrap pieces of paper when I cut things out, just to use for this particular reason. Just stamping used for sentiments. There we go. This set has a little wears, a little balloon string on it as well. But because these are being hand cut, that's going to be awfully hard to hand cut. So I'm going to use some, just some cord to put strings on the balloons. That stamp set aside, put the lid on that there. So I'm going to start coloring this one here just because this has been sitting for a few minutes longer. I have two different shades of pink. If you haven't used alcohol ink markers. They are my favorite way of coloring. And the simplest way to color with them is to use two shades of each color. You're going to color the image first lightly with a lighter of the two shades, which is what I'm doing now. I'm not using a really heavy stroke. I don't need a lot of ink on there. I just want a nice base layer. And clearly that's not very carefully colored it all. Nice thing with this particular stamp set is all of those little cross hatch lines that kinda tells you where the shading should go. And I use that as a guide for this. I also put a little bit under its beak. And then I'm going to go back to my light color. Use little kinda little circular motions where the light and the dark meat where it allows. Obviously there's not enough room rate by its R there. And then I go over the whole thing with the light color. Now, even though right after you've colored, it might look a little bit blotchy. It does even out as it dries. The nice thing about alcohol markers is you can go back, make the dark darker. Make the shadows darker. Has basically what I'm trying to say. You can color over that image for ever and that paper is not going to start to peel. If you use diabase markers, that paper starts to pill fairly quickly. I'm going to do one of my balloons. Well, I have these markers out here. The colors that I'm using will be listed on your supply list as well as the paper sizes and where to score to create the card. Now I did go outside of the line there. If I was using it like this, I would clean it up with a colorless blender. A colorless blender doesn't actually blend. It removes color and it's good for fixing little mistakes like that. But because I am cutting it out, There's no need to do that. And I just realized I already did a little mistake there. So I am going to do those. Lost my train of thought. I'm going to do the dots or the or the yeah, the polka dots on the hat. Yellow. But I just colored them blue. But the cool thing with alcohol ink markers, because I can go back with that yellow marker and go over it. And that yellow will start to push away the blue and you'll still see the yellow. So we'll show you that in just a minute. Let's get this Boolean colored. Diabetes markers are definitely easier for beginners because it's a lot closer to what we all grew up with. But there's so many more possibilities for alcohol ink markers. So I've got my yellow here. I'm gonna do the bright colored one. I'm just going to first put a little bit of color in there. Kinda let it dry just a tiny little bit. While that is drying, I'm going to color my balloon here. Once you get comfortable with using two colors to do your shading and stuff like that. You can get a little bit more advanced and you can use three colors. Two colors is a great thing to do for a beginner. Alright, let's go back and do this yellow here. There we go. Before I do any more coloring, I want to put some glossy accents on these balloons. And what that's gonna do is it's going to make it shiny and glossy, balloon like basically. But it does take a little while for that to dry. And by awhile I want to say at least an hour depending on how thick you make it. So I'm just putting it on now so that can start drying while we're coloring the rest. But once your images are colored and you've put your sticklers and your glossy accents because we are going to do some stickers as well. You don't want to touch it. You want to put it somewhere where it is not going to be within reach. Because if you accidentally touch it, not necessarily the stickers, stickers, you wouldn't really see where you touched by the glossy accents because it has a nice glossy surface. If you were to touch it and get your fingerprint in it when it's half dried. The only way to fix it is to add some more glossy accents and then just start the waiting again. So best to do it. I just realized there's a little open spot right there. And right there. If by chance you happen to get a little bubble in there, you can take a thumbtack or a pin and you can pop it. And that needs to be done while it is all still wet. Once it's dry, that won't work. 3. Birthday Birds Slider Card: Stamping & Colouring part 2: Alright, so last color to color is this brown and gray color here. I realized I didn't do I didn't do their little beaks. So we'll do that next. So technically this brownie gray color is not the last color. Once again, do the light shade first, little bit of shadow below the hat. And then blend between the two colors first and then go over the whole thing. So for the ground, I just like to take that neutral color again, it doesn't really matter what neutral color I'm using this one just because it's in the image that I colored. Another one that I often like to do is the cool grays, but just something and it makes it look like they're standing on something. And then when I go back over the light color, you can see that it kinda covered the feet. But when I go back over the light coat with a light color, lightens that dark shade and you see the feet again, but that just gives them something to stand out. It makes, it makes it look less like they're floating on air. Then beaks go back with a light color and just blend that in. Alright, so that is all done. So for my image piece here, I'm going to put some glossy accents on their eyes. Another fun thing that I've seen with the stamps is using googly eyes for their eyes. Which easy to do, just glue those on with the glossy accents. But I chose to do glossy accents so it stays clear and it's not affected by the alcohol ink, like it doesn't start to make the alcohol ink run. But it just gives it a fun different texture. That in my opinion, adds more interest to your images. If you were to use dye based inks and then use glossy accents and articles, sometimes it does affect the color of the color alters a little bit with those, but it never happens with alcoholics. That is done. It needs to dry completely before we move on. While that's drying, I'll wash my stamps and clean everything up. 4. Birthday Birds Slider Card: Assembly part 1: Alright, so we've let it dry overnight and the ********* and the glossy accents is completely dry. First step is to cut out the balloons. Nice simple shape. When this stamp set first came out, there was a die set that matched it to cut them out. You may still be able to find it on eBay or whatever, but the company or says x that makes the dice doesn't make that particular set anymore. But fortunately, this is a very easy shape. To just cut out by hand. I just go just on the outside of the line from the stamp. Some people like to cut out and leave a little bit of the white halo around it entirely up to you what you prefer. Now I'm going to glue these balloons into a little clump and to give them something to sit on. The back of them is a little bit smoother and can slide on the cart a little bit easier. I'm going to take a hole punch. This is a little bit big, but the next size down that I have is really, really tiny. So this one's going to have to do, I'm gonna put my balloons, how I would like them to go. And I'm going to cut my shape here a little bit smaller to work with these here. Lay them down. That's not quite enough. And none of this is gonna be seeing this part that's in the, that's behind the balloons here, it's not gonna be seen. So like I said, it doesn't need to be pretty just giving a little bit of a more solid foundation for these balloons to sit on. Actually, before I'm doing that, I wanted to add my strings to the balloons. So I've got my double-sided tape. I'm just going to add a piece to each of the backs. Here. We go. Take those backings off. Then I just have a little bit of a ribbon. It's got, are not written a little bit of a chord, It's got a bit of a shimmer to it. You could also use just plain gold cord. And I'm actually using more than I really need to tie all three of them in a naught. So it looks kind of like a bunch of balloons. And that's also going to give a little bit of an area that it looks like the little bird is holding it under the wing. Alright, there we go. Now we'll glue the balloons to that little circle piece. And what this also does is any of that tape that's exposed from holding the ribbon is also going to be glued onto this little circle pieces. Well, so we're not going to have exposed adhesive behind it. There we go. I want to make sure to cover that. We'll circle completely. So I'm gonna put this over here. I'm going to put my acrylic block on top of it or did I move that to you? I'll just use a tiny one and then my jar of glass beads, which will wait that down. While that is drying. Let's do the card base. So this piece of paper here is eight-and-a-half by five-and-a-half. So it's this size that you would normally cut for a A2 card base and normally you'd folded in half. We're not going to do that. What we're going to do, we're going to score at the four-inch line and the eight inch line. So we're kinda creating a tube. This is going to glue to this piece here. So I'm going to fold along those score lines there. And this score line here should be perfect with the edge of the cart there, my scoreboard can go away. I'm going to put some of that adhesive tape along. I just put it just shy of. The scored lines, so the score line is right here. So I just put it just a little bit and I don't want any of that tape to be exposed. I'm going to leave it there for right now. My image piece. I just wanted to make sure that I because it's from yesterday that I did have it cut down to the right size. I don't want to put some adhesive on it and then end up having to cut it down with adhesive on it. So my image piece is 3.3 quarters by five and a quarter, so it's just shy. The finished size of this card is actually 4 " by 5.5 ". So it's just a little bit narrower than a normal A2 card. And that's because of this half-inch flat here. I'm going to take a ruler. And I'm going to just put a little mark in the center here. And the reason for this is because I'm going to use this circle punch to create a little bit of a notch. By marking where that center is, I can make sure that this is closer to the center. So that's what we're going to use for this piece here. You want to have something to grab it too. If there was no notch there, you could put a ribbon and hopefully people new to pull there, but this just gives you a better indication that that's meant to pull. The front side is done. I'm also going to notch the back. So I did the two separately simply because this front piece has those two pieces of card stock already. And to do three pieces of card stock is a little bit much for most punches. So I didn't want to attempt to be cutting out three pieces all at once. So let's see if this is dry. It's not dry. But I think it said enough that we can start working with it. I can see a little bit of my piece behind my balloons there. It would be okay just because it's white and the background of the card is white, I'm just going to notch it out. And then there's a tiny little bit right here as well. So if by chance your balloons or whatever you're putting on yours, if you choose not to do balloons, has that piece behind it showing, just notch it out. So now I'm going to take all of the chords together and I'm going to not them. So it looks like a bunch of balloons. Then I'm gonna take my scissors. These little bits that you just cut off, they could be saved for future project. So now I'm going to put my balloons where I want them to go. So when you're putting your slider channel where you want, whatever it is that you want to slide. It can be pretty much anywhere on the card. The only thing is, is you don't want to go past a 1 " from the top or 1 " from the bottom. When you're doing your channel and you'll understand what I mean by that in a bit. So I'm just going to put this where I want it to go. Then I'm just going to take a pencil mark just to indicate to myself where I want that into Go. 5. Birthday Birds Slider Card: Assembly part 2: You have to use a slide rule trimmer for this because GOT and tremor cuts from one end to the other. There's no way to start in the middle. And it doesn't need to be 100% exactly where you put that pencil mark close as good. So I'm just judging where the blade from my tremor is and there's little arrows there to show you where that is. I'm putting it down, making sure this is along the edge so that I have a straight line here. And I'm going to stop an inch from the top, which is four-and-a-half inches here. So I bet a little channel here. Then we're going to take this piece of card stock here, it's just a half an inch wide. We're going to put it through here. I don't want that piece to extend beyond the side of the card, so it's just shy of it. They're making sure that it's pretty straight this way. And then I'm just going to tape it in place so I know where it is and I know where I want it to be. This, I don't want it to extend past my score line there so I can cut it a little bit shorter. I'm going to put some tape here. I'm starting the tape about a quarter of an inch away from my slot there. This tape is quarter-inch and this tab is a half inch, so I'm putting 22 lines of it so that I've got a good amount of adhesive holding this in place. My insert here, I'm going to line it up with the top of my card and then just center it between those score lines. So those score lines are our 4 " apart. And my piece of card stock here is 3.3 quarters. There should be about an eighth on each side. Here we go. Take the tape off of here and I'm just going to test it to make sure that everything is moving properly. There we go. Now I'm just going to line it back up just because there's nothing stuck to the front of it. So it tends to move a little bit. So I'm going to line it up to make sure that it is how I would like it. Fold this in, take this adhesive, I'm only taking it down about an inch and then I'm holding it towards the image so that when I fold this behind the insert, I've got that little tail there. This will glue down. This. I'm just pulling a little bit down at a time. That's just ensuring I don't have any adhesive wear, I don't want it to be. So now we're going to test it again. Perfect. So what we're going to do now is put some tape on this piece here. So once again, I'm going to stay a little bit away from that score, that slot because I don't want the adhesive to be touching that slot. Well, I'm sliding my card piece or the insert up and down. My balloons, how I would like them. There we go. Now that slides up and down there. So now we're going to put a little hole in here so that we can put a piece of ribbon that gives you a better indication that it's meant to be pulled. I have a crocodile here, it's got a big punch in a small pinch. You can just use irregular hole punch that would work as well. Let me grab my ribbon. You can use whatever ribbon color you want just to coordinating one to whatever you have in cousin colors for the image of your card. Push it through the hole. And then I open up that loop and put my little tails through there. And then I tighten it. And when I tighten it, I tighten it fairly gently. I don't want to rip that whole. I'm fairly careful with it. But there we go. If you happen to have a stamp set that has pulled, you could even stamp pole there. I don't have one at this point. Then I like to tidy my ribbon ends. There we go. Those little bits and pieces are a little bit too small to add to it another project, alright, so the very last step is to add the sentiment, the inside of the card. So I've got my sentiment is set right here and my ink pad. So the first one I want to use is I missed her birthday and then I want to say happy birthday. I just thought it would be cute with this and with this birdie looking sad, I thought it was appropriate that she looks sad that she missed his birthday. So I'm going to put my stamp on my block. This particular block has lines on it, so it's perfect because it makes it a little bit easier to line up. Now, before I do this, one thing I want to do, I'm going to put this back down. I'm going to put a tiny little pencil mark right here to show me where that where this starts because I don't want to stamp so high that I see that little bit of writing. So I'm going to stamp this below that. Take my stamp off, I'll clean up later. There we go. So our card is done. We've got the little birdie told me and then you've lifted up. I missed your birthday, happy birthday. Once you understand the mechanism, you can go and put your little slot to put your slider anywhere. So the next card we're gonna be doing is the Santa Juan. So we're going to change the orientation from this way to this way. Then the slider comes out the right side. So we'll see you in that video. 6. Santa Slider Card: Die cutting & Inking part 1: Alright, so for our second card, we're going to change it up a little bit. We're going to be doing some using some dye cuts instead of stamps for the images. We are going to stamp and emboss the inside greeting, so that needs to be done before the card is assembled. So very first step is let's do our die cutting. I've got my machine here. Now. I've got a Santa and slay die that's got several reindeer. We're actually only going to use one reindeer just because if it was too long, it would catch on too many things. And I don't think having all of the reindeer off of here takes anything away from the card, you still get the idea. So we don't actually need to die cut these ones the front. I'm just going to put the paper over the sleigh and the one reindeer. There we go. I'll pull that out of the diet in just a moment. Let's do all the die cutting wall. The machine is here and out. So now I've got a couple of clouds in the sky and that's just mainly for to give this Santa's sleigh something to stick to because there's so many fine points to there. I just wanted to give it a nice base to glue to that slider part. I've got a piece of card stock here. I can get those two clouds and the town all in the same motion through the machine. One of the clubs is already out. That aside over there. And move that machine. Alright, tourists, clouds are out. Where did my goal? Let's poke this out of the die there. You want to poke any little bits that are supposed to be out of there, take them out before we go any further. Any of the bits out of the die, I'll do that afterwards before putting it away. And all these dyes have little holes in them and they're perfect for just using a little dye pick to poke the die cut out of. There we go. So now the way this works is actually meant to go this way. If you want your diet or the die cut to go a different way, you just flip it over. It's not the prettiest side. The backside is a little bit rougher than the front side. But unless until I told you you had no idea. Alright, so now for this town part, I want something in those windows. And the way we're gonna do it is I'm just going to put a little bit of gold card stock here, just a little scrap and I'm just gonna glue that behind those windows there. It doesn't need to look pretty, it just needs to not show outside of those bits. So just a little bit of adhesive. I'm just going to bring my cup right here. And I can already tell I have this a little bit too wide, so I'm just going to narrow it down. There we go. That's better. Let's do it for this one here. I could take this to make really, really small pieces and just go behind each and every single one of those windows. But much easier to just have bigger areas. And for the most part, a lot of them are rectangular shape anyways. One better, I'm going to this in half and that should know. That's a little bit wide. Let's do this one. It's almost like putting a puzzle together. And like I said, this is gonna be turned over so you're not seeing any of that back. It's glued right down, so it doesn't need to look pretty on the back. It just needs to cover those areas properly. And by properly mean, I mean, don't have any of those bits showing between the houses. Now ideally they would have a silhouette of this image that you could just die cut and put behind there. But for the most part, for most of these dyes that doesn't exist. So this is an easy way to get those areas filled in quickly. Go. Last part is this one here. The right width. There we go. This one, they must have knocked it. This is another one that I really like using wet adhesive with because you can show me things and move them to make sure that they are not showing between the houses. There we go. That's all done. Any there's a little tiny bit of glue there. This glue dries completely clear and it dries matte so you actually don't see where that that glue is. I've got my two clouds here. I'm going to take a blending brush and some gray ink. And I'm just gonna put a shadow underneath them just to give them a little bit of dimension. Can be as much or as little as you want. Now I'm gonna glue those together. I'm gonna put a little bit more there so that I get a tiny bit of a shadow behind that other die. When I glue it on there. There you go. I'm a man. I'm gonna glue my Santa and sleigh with the reindeer on there. Then I like to use some or a gel pen to just highlight some of those details. By using a gel pen, It's got a fine tip. So you have a lot of control over it. So I have a gold one here that I'm going to do. Some of the details from the sleigh. This goal, this gel pen dries flat like it's not going to add any dimension to it. I had a little piece out there that I didn't pull out. So it's not going to add any dimension to it. If you wanted to add dimension, you could use say, some perfect pearls, sorry, liquid pearls or Nouveau drops or something like that. Then you need to make sure that you wait until it fully dry. Before moving on. Then this pen here is just kind of a literary one. And it's not gonna be chunks of glitter. It's just a shimmer pen. Just adds a little bit of shimmer to the die cut. And the last thing that I like to use to add to this one is tiny and a little bit of red circles I like to give the range. You're just kind of a red nose. Then Gibson to Red Hat. Just, just to add a little bit to it. Alright, so that is done. Now, I'm going to ink the background here for the image piece. Now, this piece is a little bit bigger than what it needs to be, so I will cut it down when I am finished. 7. Santa Slider Card: Die cutting & Inking part2: And by doing it, by doing a bigger piece than I actually need, I can choose which part of the ink blending I like best. So these cards start pieces are the same size as the last one. So this part here that is going to be inked blended is going to be cut down to 3.3 quarters by five and a quarter. And my insert is also that same size. Now a little bit of lilac color. You'll see I always start off of the page and then work my way in. Just because if you start on, if you start on basically make sure to not use a heavy hand. If you're too heavy handed, you end up with basically an impression of your brush here. Where's the dark one? There? There we go. This one here is unchartered mariner at one of the newer colors. And I love this color of blue. Mix it as much or sorry, blended as much or as little as you want. I like when there's a little bit of lighter shades in there, it kinda gives the look of like wispy clouds in the sky. And what you can do if you want it blended further as you can go back to those, pursue colors and add another layer of them. And it just continues to blend. We go tuck those to the side. So now I am going to cut to this down. So like I said, it needs to be five and a quarter by 3.3 quarters. So it's slightly too big. And I am actually going to cut a little bit off the bottom and then a little bit off the top. Just having a moment of second guessing there and I figured I should double-check my measurements. Alright, This one can get glued down. I do put some glue on the back side of that goal that we glued down there as well. I'm leaving a little bit raised up because I'm going to take a scrap piece of white and just kinda create a hill for the front of this. I'm going to put an acrylic block on there to hold that down to dry. Then the part for the Hill can just be a scrap piece of white card stock. You don't need to cut it out of a new piece. So this is going to be five and a quarter in length. That weighs five and a quarter and then I just rip it. If you don't like the look of ripped card stock, you can cut it. But when it comes to Snow, personally, I just like the look of it when it's ripped edge. I think it looks a little bit more organic, a little bit in more natural. But if that's not your cup of tea, then just use a scissors and cut it and cut like a hill shape. As you can tell, it's not really like a rolling hill is just some ground in front of those houses. And I'm going to add some stickers to them as well. Just a little bit of snow on the top of the roofs on the trees. I'm going to let this dry completely before we go and assemble our card. This step if you want, it could be done after your card was completely finished as well. You could wait until it's totally done, and you could add the sticklers to it. I liked doing it at this point and then I'm going to go, the next step is to add the stamping and embossing for the inside insert. Create some hills just with ********* there. Alright, this is gonna be tucked. Decide to, to completely dry. And that will be tucked out of the way. Thanks. Sure, this piece is the right size for the insert. So like I said, it needs to be 3.3 quarters by five and a quarter. And the stamp that I am using from this set here, put it on my block and this particular block has some grid lines to it which helps to keep. So you can look at the grid lines to make sure that you're lined up straight. Some gold embossing powder here. And my embossing grab some scrap paper to work on because any of the embossing powder that doesn't stick to the ink and goes back on the scrap paper can be put right back into my container there. I want to leave a little bit of an area for my ribbon to go in. I'm not going to stamp this rate close to the edge. I'm going to stamp it about a half an inch in. I don't want to go too far in though because I want to make sure that this completely gets revealed. There we go. Put on the gold embossing powder. Now, I clearly must have touched it with some damp fingers because I see So fingerprints there. If you have that with any of your powder, make sure to wipe it off. You can use a soft brush if there's a smaller area that you need to get into. But you have to do that before you start to melt it. Because if it's melted, it is stuck to the paper. You're not going to get it off. Now we're going to use an embossing tool to melt that powder. You can see the bottom is already melted. It goes nice and smooth and shiny when it gets melted. Alright, perfect. So I'm going to wait for my stickers to dry completely. And once that is done, we will start our assembly and we have our pieces ready. 8. Santa slider Card: Assembly: Alright, so our sticklers is all dry, so we're ready to start working on the card base. So this piece of card stock here is five-and-a-half by eight-and-a-half as if you were cutting for a quarter for old card. But what we are going to do is we are going to score it. The four inch mark and the eight inch marks are finished. Card size is actually going to be 4 " by five-and-a-half, which is a little bit narrower than a normal quarter fold card. But you can still put it in a regular sized envelope. And that is why the piece to insert in the middle is 3.3 quarters inches wide. That way It's got some room. So this half-inch flat here, I'm going to put some adhesive on. We're not gonna do anything with it at the moment. We're just going to put it on there so it's ready to go when we need it. My image piece can get glued to the front of the card. I'm just using distress collage medium for this. You could also use the same soup Wang that was used for the side part here. I like to use the distress collage medium or minus. Second favorite is Tombow mono multi, because the liquid glue just gives you a little bit of leeway. If something is not quite right when you put it down, you can kinda shimmy it in place. Alright, so typically I'll wait a few minutes for that to dry, but I'm going to just continue on because I don't think I need to really move anything for this. For the next part, you're going to want a ruler. I'm going to mark it at the half-inch mark here or not half inch, the halfway mark there, which is 2 ". And the reason I'm doing that is I'm going to use a circle punch. And I'm going to punch out a notch. And that little mark there gives me an idea of the halfway point. So then even though I eyeball it, I know how close I am to the halfway point. And now that I've got those top two done, I'm just gonna do the same thing and include the back part of the card. There we go. So now I want to put my slide in there for the slide part of the heart. And for that, you need to have a tremor that has a slide blade on it. So this one here has a bit of a ruler on the side here. So I am putting the edge of my card with the 1 " mark. I am starting both three-quarters of an inch to three-quarters minutes. About 1 " from the end. The scene, the wrong the wrong measurement there. And then I'm stopping an angstrom and the top, we're an inch in an inch from that end and end an inch from this end. So then we've got our slot there and it easily cuts through the two layers of card stock to the side. Now I have this is just a scrap of card stock from when I was cutting things down. Like I said before, I always keep my scraps and they're perfect for this. It only needs to be about a half an inch wide. It doesn't need to be any wider than that. So I'm putting it through I'm just trying to make sure that it's nice and straight. Then I'm going to take a piece of tape. This is going to come off when we're done. This strip doesn't need to be that long, so I'm going to cut that shorter. It just needs to glue to our piece here. It doesn't need to be any longer than that. So while that is down there, I'm going to take my tape and I'm gonna put some tape down and I stopped my tape about and quarter inch from that slit in my card front. You don't want to put it right up to the edge or else that adhesive is going to start to interfere with the sliding up and down. Once that's there, I can take my adhesive off. My embossed piece needs to be up here by my my part where I am. Lost English or the part where I cut the slit there. So I want to be able to pull this. I'm going to take this off because it's glued down. Now. See how we're able to pull that up. So you want your embossed piece by that little notch there. So that, that's the first thing that comes out. So there we go. Now that that is altogether going to put that in just a touch just because it moved a little bit while I was while I was sliding it. But it is always a good idea to test things first. So now that I know that it slides up properly, I'm going to take the end of my tape off. What she's you're sitting on your table to do that. The easiest way to do this is not taking the entire piece of tape off. My little paper there is inside that flap there because I don't want to be gluing this down to the flap, putting my edge where I want it and then I'm going to pull this gently and push the adhesive down as I take it off. And that way I can ensure that it stays straight the entire time and I don't accidentally glue something where I don't want it to go. Now that this is all glued in there, I'm going to take a hole punch and I'm going to do the bigger side of my hi, I'm sure this is a crocodile. And it actually has two options for hole punches, a smaller one and a bigger one. I chose the bigger one. And I'm going to take some ribbon. This just gives it a bit of a pull tab to pull on. If you happen to have a stamp that says poll, you could use that to you. Or if you have something where you could create a different type of tab that would work as well. You just want to give your recipient some sort of idea that this is meant to pull out that ribbon pretty much does it. In my opinion. Once you've got your ribbon on there and what I just did in case you didn't see it, I put a loop through the hole and then I put my hands through that loop and it just secures it right on there. You could just put one end through and then just tie it twice and have it not that way. That would work as well. There we go. Always test in-between to make sure that everything is running smoothly. Then last step is to put my Santa and slay that is on the clouds onto it. Once again, I keep away from that. The slot here typically is about a quarter of an inch where I stayed away. That was a more about an eighth of an inch because this card width is 4 ". You can actually go a little bit outside of the card there with your reindeer because it will still fit into a standard size envelope. And there you go. Now, I didn't glue this end in together. If you wanted, you could, when you had it all open, when you glue this down, you could put some adhesive there to glue it close. But I always just leave it open. I don't mind it open. But there you go. So our card is completely done. You could write on there if you're putting in a personal message or whatever you could write on there, or you could write on there or on the back of the card. So now we've got a slide that goes from left to right. And then you know how to do one that pulls up. And this one, I'm not going to show you how to do it, but now you know exactly the mechanism behind it. You could also do one that goes down and have a fall card with leaves falling down the trees. There you go. So now you know how to create a slider card. They're really quite easy once you learn the mechanism and how it works. And you can do it with stamps, you can do it with dyes, have fun with it. 9. Slider Card Class Thank You: Thank you so much for joining me for this lighter card class.
