Going Backwards to Go Forwards - Wildflower Birthday Sliding Lock mechanism card

As part of my post renovation TIDY UP, I am finally finishing some old blog posts and sharing them with you -  I am calling it my "Going Backwards to Go Forwards" process. I hope you get a little bit of motivation and inspiration from these recent samples which I created and then forgot! I am keen to share them with you so I can start afresh.

The wonderful pre-printed tags and elements make creating this style of card very easy. I used one of the tags to create the sliding lock mechanism, and another to decorate the inside. 

The card closed with the tag slider in place to keep it closed.

The inside panel is decorated but is hidden behind the sliding lock when it is closed.

Lift the flap and there is more cheer inside- just punch out and stick the elements from the DSP paper pack.



The DSP pack is a cracker. You can see more of it here.

The measurements and procedure are the same as for the other Sliding Lock stlye cards I have presented on this blog earlier in the year. You can find that blog post from June 2025 here.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
