For this fun fold card I'm using the oh so cute Gingerbread man stamps and dies bundle. This fun card is perfect for any time of year and any occasion and is definitely one you're going to want to have a go at creating for yourself!
Called a double slider card it's most definitely a wow card that is sure to impress the recipient 😀
Closed the card fits neatly into a standard C6 envelope (A2 envelope). It can be deciding so many ways.. pattern papers, dry embossing or as I've done heat embossing... the choice is yours!
Then, keeping the 1cm ( ⅜") panel on the left-hand side, mark the right-hand panel at 1.5cm (½") in from the left hand scoreline and the right-hand edge both at the top and bottom of the panel. Next measure up 1cm ( ⅜") on all 4 marks. Connect the marks top and bottom as shown below. You'll be removing these small rectangles.
Imperial measurements are above
Next you're going to need a piece of plastic. I have used a 6 litre ( 6 quart) grip seal bag from IKEA. First trim the bottom seal of the bag off. Now cut a 5cm (1½") strip off the bottom of the bag to create a loop of plastic. Now carefully vot the sealed edges to give you 2 strips of plastic. You're only going to need 1 of these so save the other for another card or make 2 at the same time 😉
You'll also need 2 panels of the same colour cardstock measuring 14.4cm x 9.5cm. ( 3¾" x 5¼") As well as 2 white panels measuring 13.9cm x 9cm. ( 3½" x 5")
Watch this video to see how the card is created. It's not as hard as you might first think 😀
Here is a photo of the finished card open. Isn't this gingerbread man a cheeky chappy 😀
