WWC185 Anything Goes Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. This time you can make any type of card that tickles your fancy – LOL!

Now, my daughter, Miss K, is heading off to a friend’s 12th birthday and needed a card that could also double as a gift card holder. What’s a mother to do? Make a slider card that hides the gift card – that’s what!

Now I’m not sure if you’ve had a go at this style card but it’s surprisingly easy and looks the bomb diggity.

What you’ll need:

• Thick cardstock for you base 14.8cm x 21cm scored at 10.5cm
• A black piece cardstock 14.8cm x 10.5cm
• DSP 14.3cm x 10cm (I used SU Festive Birthday DSP)
• Tab piece of cardstock matching the card base 8cm x 12.8cm
• Ribbon 4cm
• 1″ circle punch (for the notch in the pull up piece)
• 2 1/4 inch circle punch – white cardstock
• 2 1/2 inch circle punch – black cardstock
• Senitment/s (I used MFT Birthday Greeting)

Instructions:

• Stick your DSP panel to the black panel, making sure you get adhesive all over the centre of the DSP not just the edges
• On the short edge line the DSP/black panel at 8.5cm and cut between the 2cm and 12.8cm measurements on your cutter
• Rotate the panel  180 degrees and repeat
• On the long edge, place the panel in your trimmer, ensure the bottom of the card is at 2cm, cut between the 2 lines you just cut – the bottom of your panel should be on the left hand side of the blade
• Rotate the panel 180 degrees and score at 2cm, 6.5cm and 11cm between the 2 cut lines only
• Turn the panel over, front facing down and apply red tape between the 2 cut lines close to the bottom score line
• Line up the tab panel with the edge of the flap and ensure that it’s centred between the 2 sides of the card – adhere to the red tape
• Stamp your sentiment on the tab before sealing the DSP panel to the card base
• It you want to cover something with a bit of dimension like a gift card, as I did, then mount the DSP panel with some dimensionals
• Staple the ribbon to the top of your tab
• Decorate the circles with sentiments of another image and you’re done

Here’s what my card looks like when all the pieces are put together:
