Vertical Slider card – a neat and easy fun fold with video

Last Chance Holiday 1 Save

I'm not sure what will be on the Clearance Rack but I do know what's on the Last chance list.  Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance here

Go here to see them all Thursday, December 1st.

I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed.

I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.

The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.

What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?

  • Petal Party card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end

  • Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!

    I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

    Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here.

    I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.

    This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly.

    Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!

  • Life is Beautiful swap with Love of Leaves dies

    Here's another card I made for an online card swap I joined in July.  I have been having so much fun playing with my Life is Beautiful stamp set!  

    July swap Save

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Pumpkin Pie; one of my favorite color combo's for Fall.  I added some sponging and a pretty die-cut from the Ornate Frames die seen here.  The Linen thread behind the greeting is simply a big bow. 

    This card is included in my August card kit to go.  The kit includes the Life is Beautiful stamp set AND an 8 cards pre-cut kit. You have through August 20th to get this kit and the pdf tutorial is also included. It's just $28; a steal for a stamp set AND cards kit!   Read all about it here.

    Did you notice the stitching on the bottom of this card?  That's done with the Love of Leaves dies seen here:
