When I saw a card by Amy Y. (IG: sharingnewlove) that had this multiple slider card design, and I knew I wanted to try to re-create it using the Clearly Besotted “Caped Cuties” stamp set and the awesomely versatile Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set. Ā
First I wanted to create a clean and simple sky background. So I made aĀ maskĀ of a cloud bank and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tumbed Glass to blend on a sky. I did it twice so that my 5″ x 7″ card base had the same background as my card front and the slider tracks I created would have more of a continuous, cohesive look.
Then I stamped out three of the caped cuties from the stamp set that looked like they were in flightĀ with MFT Black Licorice Hybrid InkĀ and colored them up with the following Copic markers:
Bunny: 0, N0, N2, RV21, RV23, RV25
Bear: E51, E53, B63, B66, B69
Turtle: Y13, YG01, YG25, YG17, B000
I fussy cut those out and inked the edges with a black felt tip pen so the white edge of the paper wouldn’t show.
Next I made the slider mechanism behind each cutie with some double sided foam adhesive and some cut circles. Lastly I die cut two overlapping circle tracks using the 10th and 12th largest circles from the circle nesting die set (it has 20!).Ā Note: My readers can get 10% off and free worldwide shipping at Diemond Dies on all orders of $35 or more by using the coupon code “thankskristina” at check out!

I think this card is super fun, and it is really easy to make. While I made this card for a crafty friend, I know I’ll be making another one for my young nephew for his birthday next month. š

Thank you so much Cicci! I really had fun trying this multiple sliders card and I wanted to try to keep the sky background soft so that the caped cuties could take center stage. š

Thank you so very much Jo Ann! It really was easy once I thought through how to construct the multiple slider tracks. š As always every interaction with the wonderful ladies of Word Art Wednesday is a joy and a blessing. Much luv and big hugs, Kristina
Kristina, what a great idea!
I love action-cards, and creating them is always so much fun!
Your card seems to be double-fun cause of the two ways the spinner-elements may go on! Thanks so much for sharing it – I think I’ll also try to create one soon. š
