Click HERE for a photo tutorial on a how to put this slider card base together.

This card when completed fits into an envelope measuring 9.1/2” x 7.1/2” (24.1 cm x 19 cm )

*To make the card base take the A4 card stock make 2 folds, on the long side, being 2.1/4” ( 6 cm ) each to form the foot of the card. Fold this to a hill and valley fold.

*Cut the card front base at 5.9/16” x 6.12/16” ( 14.2 cm x 17.1 cm )

*The card slider at 2.10/16” x 4.1/2” ( 6.7 cm x 11.5 cm )

*The slider stop at 1” x 3.12/16” ( 9.5 cm x 3 cm )

*Taking the peach card stock cut this a little smaller than the card front base.

*When preparing the card front matting with double sided tape, apply only to three sides. Leaving the top open so the slider can slip into this opening.

*Find the desired design paper from the paper collection and cut matting for the card base measurements. This is also cut a little smaller than the card stock.

*For this card, before adhering to the card stock layer, the design paper for the card front is distressed with a paper distresser tool.

*Adhere the card front to the centre of the card foot.

*Centre then adhere the slider to the top edge of the card background.

*Slip the slider into the card front opening. This makes the card base complete, now continue decorating your card.

Taking the white card stock and the large rose heart stamp, stamp once with the Sap Green ink and the other with the gold embossing powder.
Die cut using both the outer and inside die pieces. Find the sentiment, using a scrap of design paper stamp with gold embossing powder.
Trim so you will have a banner that will fit into the heart centre.
Stamp three leaf swirls using the Sap green ink, apply a little ink to the heart of the leaves using the daubers.
Make the roses and rose buds.
Adhere the hearts with 3d foam tape or double dots.

Slip the sentiment banner into the heart centre and secure.
Arrange and adhere a leaf swirl to each side of the heart, adhere the roses using as filler the extra leaf swirl, trimming as you go.
Apply crackle medium to the roses then the crystal powder. Apply heat to activate the mediums in the crystal powder.

Once you have got the card base construction under your belt, it is such an easy card to make. I love to use this as it always looks great and stands sturdy with all the 3d embellishments. I especially like it because it gives me enough room to play...lol.

I hope you take the time to give it a go and give me some feed back on it.

Have a scrappy inky time with it.
