Hi, Stampers. Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you feel loved and get to spend some time today doing something you love. This Simple Slider Card is for you!
My simple slider Valentine’s day card starts with a Real Red card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″.
The front panel of my simple slider Valentine’s day card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Real Red CS followed by a 3-3/4″ x 5″ layer of Sweet Talk DSP. To make the slider part, I used Stitched Rectangle Dies to make the opening and the Adhesive Foam Strips to make the path.
Happy Valentine’s Day was stamped in Real Red ink onto a 1-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ layer of Basic White.
Stampin’ Tip: Because the stamp was longer than the opening, I chose to stack the words. I inked just the “happy” and stamped it, then I inked just the “Valentine’s day” and stamped it below the “happy”. Voila – a whole different look!
My pull strip is 1-1/8″ x 4″ strip of Real Red CS. The Layering Circles Dies were used to cut the scalloped circle for the front of the card and the shimmer paper for the end of the pull strip.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. I used the Sweet Conversations stamp set and stamped in Polished Pink, Real Red, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks.
My second simple slider card is done in much the same way. The first one was portrait orientation and this one is landscaped. I chose to use Gorgeous Grape CS for my card base followed by a layer of Blushing Bride and then the Sweet Talk DSP.
To make the window, I used the same Stitched Rectangle Die, but I used it twice so the hole with be longer for this card.
Because the window is longer, my pull strip needed to be longer. This time my pull strip is 1-1/8″ x 5″.
With the longer window, I was able to stamp the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment (from the Sweet Conversations stamp set) in full as one line.
Inside the simple slider card is stamped much the same way as the first one, just landscaped instead of portrait.
