WOW it certainly has been some weeks since I have typed the words Make it Monday! But even more suprising that this is number 33~ I really can’t believe that I have now written 33 tutorials especially because they were something I was a bit daunted by, but I have really grown to love them!

So for this re-introduction to Make it Monday, and seeing as it is the Convention Project parade starting today…..and not to mention I have had a HEAP of requests for it……

I am going to show you how to put together a Double slider card. I did this on stage at Convention, and I am sure it would have been hard to take notes, so here is a photographic step by step tutorial for it, that you can all use.

Double Slider Card:

Materials required:

• Stamps
• A4 carstock
• Crop-a-dile
• Scissors
• 1 3/8 circle punch
• Word window punch
• Pencil
• Dimensionals
• 1/2 ” circle punch
• Ribbon
• Twine
• Pearls, or buttons
• Designer series paper

Step 1:

Cut your A4 sheet of cardstock vertically in half and then fold it in half.

Step 2:

Take a pencil and mark 1 inch in from the folded centre side of the cardstock. Then mark again with the pencil 2 inches in from the open end.

Step 3:

Take your Word window punch and  push it in at the side of the cardstock as far in as it will go, then punch the length in between the two pencil lines. You will punch once and then actually slide it along a little and then punch again to get the long window.

Step 4:

On the inside apply double sided tape as close to the edges as possible on both edges.

Step 5:

Take a smaller piece of co ordinating cardstock and line it up perfectly to the top of the carstock in the centre on the side that has the windows punched out.

Step 6:

Then punch a half circle with your 1 3/8 circle punch (with the two sheets of cardstock at the same time) and save the half circle in the opposite colour to the base.

Step 7:

Cut a 5 inch by 3.5 inch piece of cardstock and a slightly smaller piece of DSP to sit on top. Then cut a 2.5 inch by 3.75 inch piece of cardstock and another slightly smaller for your message. I have used the greeting from the Occasional greetings stamp set.

Step 8:

Take that half circle and adhere it to the centre of the large piece, punch a large hole in the centre with your cardstock with your Crop-a-dile. Feed some ribbon through and tie off with some twine, and a pearl or button.

Step 8:

Take the cardstock and lay in into the centre of the open cardstock, making sure that it lines up with the top edge of the base card.

Step 9:

Fold up the the top. The half circle will line up perfectly because you punched them out at the same time. Also you will notice I have stamped the large rose stamp from Stampin’Up’s Fifth Avenue floral stamp set on the front, and I have clear embossed it.

Step 10:

Punch out four circles of cardstock with the 1/2 inch circle punch. Then add a Dimensional to each circle.

Step 11:

Carefully lay the first dots with the dimensionals on the underside onto the cardstock piece in the bottom.

Step 12:

Take the front panel and carefully pull those circles through so that they now lay under the front panel.

Step 13:

Take the other two circles and adhere them with the Dimensionals facing onto the circles on the underneath panel. This creates the slider, for the two circles to slide up and down the window slots:

Step 14:

Add Mini glue dots to the outside of the circles, then adhere your smaller piece of cardstock which is used for your greeting:

This is what it should look like once your piece is attached to the front.

Step 15:

Take some co ordinating cardstock, stamps, ribbon etc, and a piece of cardstock that measures 4 inches by 3.5 inches. This is your front panel. I have used the Urban Oasis paper, Basic grey taffeta ribbon, and the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set which I have watercoloured.

Then adhere it to the front with thin pieces of dimensionals so that it is raised above the greeting piece of cardstock. It should just cover it.

I hope that was clear enough and you are keen to now go and make one. They certainly have a great WOW factor. I did also make a couple others which you can view on this post HERE.

Well that is the Make it Monday for this week, and boy it feels good to have done one again!

Have a good night!
