Slide Card Instruction

From one piece of Cardstock cut:

A:  8 ¾   ” X 4”   (tip: cut 2 x 4 “ strips first to save paper)

B:  10” x 4”

C: 4” x ¾

D: 11” x 1 ¾”

E: four 1½” squares 

From Patterned paper (double sided) cut:

3 pieces:  7½” x 3¾”  (tip: cut 3 x 3 ¾ strips first to save paper)

2 pieces:  3¾” x 2”

To create the card

Score (A) 1” at one end and fold.  Tape and attach to piece (b)

Score (B) 2 ¼ ” and fold over to close card.

Cover the front cover and inside of the card with your patterned

 paper  (not the inside front cover at this stage) and outside

 and inside of card flip.  This will be done after the brads

 have been placed on the card

Piece (C) using small pieces of double sided tape

at each end attach to the front cover about 4½ “ from

 the left hand side of the card.   Uses two brads to 

secure the strip

Cut four 1¾” squares from white cardstock

Cut four 1½” squares from coloured cardstock

Optional: cut four 1¼” squares from patterned paper)

Remember that the above colour sequence can

 be changed to what every you prefer

Optional: Stamp the desired stamps on the coloured

cardstock (or on the white cardstock and cut out.  

Then stick to the top of the layered card square)

Cut a 11” x 1 ¾” strip from the coloured cardstock.  

Score from the left hand side at 6¼” and 7¼“ and 8¼” and 9¼”.  

Fold and crease each score line.

On the back of each card section, place double

sided tape down the right hand side.  On the 11” strip of CS,

attach each card to the left side of each score line.

Fold the unscored section and thread under the

strip attached to the card.    

Secure the last Card section to the strip

With either patterned paper or Cardstock (7½ x 3 ¾“), cover the inside cover of the card to cover the brads.  Now embellish the card as you wish.  (I have put an arrow point at the end of the strip)
