Gatefold Slider Card | Stamping Bella

Hi all! Today I'm back with a Stamping Bella tutorial on how to make a Bundle Girl Bunny Gatefold Slider Card. There was a lot of trial and error to figuring out the correct measurements for this card, but I got there in the end and I love how it displays on my dresser.

The papers I used are Echo Park, My Favorite Easter.

Supplies:

Bundle Girl Bunny rubber stamp

Easter Sentiments rubber stamps

Card

Easter themed paper

Scoring board and bone folder

Dies: Clouds, Grass Border, Pennant

Adhesive

How to:

Stamp Bundle Girl Bunny onto white card. Colour using your preferred medium, then fussy cut around the outline.

Cut a piece of card measuring 9" x 5.5". On the 9" side, score at 2.25" and 6.75"

Fold in the outside sections to make the gatefold.

For the layers, cut:

Card -

(2x) 5-3/8" x 2-1/8"

(1x) 5-3/8" x 4-3/8"

Paper -

(2x) 5.25" x 2"

(2x) 5-3/8" x 2-1/8" (inside, no card layer)

(1x) 5.25" x 4.25"

Adhere down all the card and paper layers.

Cut two pieces of card measuring 1.5" x 5". Score on the 5" side at 0.75", 1.5" and 4.25"

Mountain fold all the score lines.

Apply adhesive to the end with one scored section and adhere to the inside card front as shown.

Apply adhesive to the 0.75" section on the other end, tuck under and, ensuring the card is open flat, adhere to the centre panel.

Repeat on the top left of the card with the other slider mechanism.

Cut two pieces of card measuring 3.5" x 2-5/8", and two more, in a contrasting colour, measuring 3-3/8" x 2.5". Adhere the smaller pieces to the larger pieces.

Apply adhesive to the 2.75" section of the slider and adhere the card layers.

Decorate the sliders with paper and die cuts, then adhere the images. Stamp the sentiment from Easter Sentiments stamp set and cut out using a pennant die.
