Ever since I saw a demonstration of a double slider card at the Scrapbook Expo this year, I’ve been wanting to try to make a double slider card (with no special dies). And with the idea of a creating a celebratory, doubly bountiful Thanksgiving card, I went for it using the Katzelkraft Dogs dressed in a Pilgrim bonnet and top hat from the Katzelkraft Pilgrim stamp set from Topflight Stamps (this is a guest designer project for them).
I first Copic colored the Husky and the Basset Hound as well as the Pilgrim bonnet and top hat with the following Copic colors:
Basset Hound: Tongue: R35 and R39; White: W0 and W1; Dark areas: W5 and W7; Brown areas: E23 and E25; Eyes YR24 and E23; Nose: C8
Husky: White: W0 and W1; Black: W5 and W7; Tongue: R22 and R24; Inner Ear: R30; Eyes: G24, G94 and G46 with Signo Uniball White Gel Pen and Sakura Black Glaze Pen
Pilgrim Bonnet: C00, C0, C1, C2 and C3
Pilgrim Top Hat: N3, N4, N5, N7, Y38, and B99
Then I fussy cut them and inked the edges with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker.
Then I prepped the various panels to create the double slider card structure as follows:
- Front Panel, Slider Mechanism Panel and Back Panel: 4.25″ x 5.25″
- Slider Mechanism Panel (positioned horizontally) is then prepped using an X-Acto blade to cut vertical slits 0.25″ away from either side, and 0.75″ away from the top and bottom
- Left Slider Panel is cut 3.25″ x 4 5/8″
- Right Slider Panel is cut 3.25″ x 5 1/8″
- Then a strip of heavy duty plastic is cut to 2.5″ x 11″, this is looped through the slits of the Slider Mechanism Panel and secured with strong double sided tape like Scor-Tape
