Country Wreath’s Vertical Slider fun fold card; with video tutorial
A few weeks ago I shared multiple projects with the Cottage Wreaths bundle on my weekly FB Live. This Vertical Slider card was one of them. It's so cool and surprisingly easy.
It's a simple gatefold but the center element holds the card closed so it stays flat. It's so neat! I made a second version as well and shared that one here.
I used the Santa Express designer paper here as well as the Joyful Flurry bundle and Brightest Glow stamp set.
How it works is to have three squares or circles on the back of the center element. Fold two in half and adhere to the back of your center layer. Then top it with the third one. The two must be positioned so the grab the two front panels of the card and can 'slide' down the center seam. *watch the video below or here to see how it works.
I used an easy technique on the window and tire rims. See how they're a soft white? Using our White Craft ink pad, I grabbed a bit of White ink with a blender pen and colored these areas. You can add more color if you'd like it whiter, but I like the almost opaque look.
Note one card has presents and the other a tree in the truck bed. These are stamped on a separate piece of White paper and fussy cut before adding to the truck.
I created two options for my Club members; a birthday or a Christmas card. This Truck bundle has a wide variety of stamps & greetings. I did use the Happy Birthday image from the Enjoy the Rhythm set and the inside Christmas greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock.
My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).
I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here.
I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front. After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.
It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2". I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!
I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap. You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper. Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!
