Slider cards have been around for a while, but I can honestly say that I've never made either one of these style cards before. I was always a little intimidated by the version on the left, and even though I did mess it up in the live video...it was fixable and now I understand how to make it correctly. I hope you give one or both of these versions a try! Both will fit in a medium (A2) envelope for mailing.
Cards with some kind of movement are always so cool!
Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET. I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.
If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube. If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.
First up is a Double-Tiered Slider Card. There are two panels that slide out together. For this one, I used the Frightfully Fun Times DSP and sticker sheet, along with an extra Pumpkin Glitter die-cut that I had on my craft table. I chose to have my card slide out to the right. You could certainly turn yours to slide UP if you wanted to.
I really enjoyed learning how to use 8 small circles (I used 3/4", but I would recommend 1/2" if you have that size. Do not go any bigger than 3/4" for these measurements.) to make the sliding mechanism. It slides so smoothly!
When you slide it out, you can see the TWO tiers. In retrospect, I would have stamped that "very spooky" on the bottom/bigger tier and left that little spot for a tiny bit of writing. It's still cute though.
Paper Measurements:
- Pumpkin Pie: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/4"
- Frightfully Fun Times DSP: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Basic Black: (2) 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
- Frightfully Fun Times DSP: 3" x 4 1/4"
- Basic White: 3" x 4 1/4"
- Pumpkin Pie: 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
- Basic White: 2" x 3 1/4"
- Basic White & Basic Black scraps: to stamp/hand-cut and layer "happy"
- Pumpkin Glitter paper: 2" x 4" to die-cut HALLOWEEN
I added some bats from the Frightfully Fun Sticker Sheet, and finished off with some of the Sunset Sparkle Sequins (Timid Tiger).

My second slider card is a traditional Double Slider card. The sliding mechanism in this one is a piece of plastic. I used some plastic packaging from a recent stamping purchase, but you could also use a plastic grocery bag. I know those are generally not free anymore, but if you have one you should be able to get enough to make several of these cards.
This is the one that I messed up during the live video, when I added the pull out panels. I attached one of them on backwards, but it was totally fixable!
The base of this card is only 3 pieces of cardstock. The rest is just dolling up the front of the card.
Fully extended, this card is almost 15" long! Lots of room to write your message. I really think you could attach a gift card to that bottom panel without affecting the sliding. I don't think it would get caught up on anything.
Paper Measurements:
- Pool Party: 5 1/2" x 11", scored at 3 1/2", 7 1/8", 10 3/4"
- Basic White: (2) 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
- Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP: 4" x 8"
- Lemon Lolly: 3 3/4" x 5", cut with Chonky Postage dies (Unity Stamp Co)
- Basic White: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"
- Petal Pink/Daffodil Delight/Flirty Flamingo: scraps to die-cut balloons and letters
I did die-cut three sets of those letters/numbers and glued them together. The Alphabet a la Mode dies are so thin, and I wanted them raised up from the card front a little bit.
Finished off with a White Textured ribbon pull, and some Basic Rhinestones.
Stamps: Balloon Festoon
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock
Paper: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White, Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP

I hope you decide to give one of these Double Slider cards a try!
