Card Class June 2025
The Sliding Mechanism keeps the two side panels closed and creates a nice surprise.
I love the Grow with Love stampset- it's an online exclusive but is so sweet with the gorgeous label image and die, lots of herb stamps and some sentiments. The coordinating dies are a bonus. Sadly it is now on the last chance list, so it is available until sold out.
Here is the card open. You can see the sliding mechanism is the smaller stamped panel. The inside card in this sample is Strawberry Slush, and the card base is Misty Moonlight. I stamped the script stamp in Strawberry Slush (stamped off) and the Rosemary Thyme and Mint in Lost Lagoon. The DSP strips on the front side panels are Strawberry Slush to coordinate with the cardstock mats.
The printed sentiments from "Greetings for All" make it super easy to add a message to any card, and when the card is closed and locked this message is hidden.
Here's the image of how the sliding mechanism looks. It is simple two pieces of cardstock ( Front slightly larger than the back). There is a central strip of adhesive foam which separates the two and provides the height to allow the mechanism to slide freely over the two side panels.
with the 2 side panels between the front and back of the mechanism.
For this sample I adapted the Sliding Lock Mechanism to different dimensions (ie from the table of dimensions below) to be the size of the label I wanted to use. In the sample below you can see the dimensions as per the instruction table. But that's the beauty of card making, you can adapt anything to what you require.
I hope you give this a try and have fun with it.
I have created a pdf file with these instructions if you would like to print it out.
You can find the file here
For these and any other products you can find them in my Online Store here.
This is the beautiful card I received from one of my team members which inspired these cards.
This card has only imperial dimensions as per the table below. It would be easy enough to adapt to Metric C6, and maybe I'll do that one day!
I'll have another sample to share tomorrow.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
