Colored Card Stock A:

– 1 piece 1  x 5-1/2
Designer Series Paper (DSP) : Works best with smallish non-directional pattern, use 1, 2 or 3 patterns

White/Vanilla Card Stock:

OPTIONAL:
Card Stock A or complimentary to Card Stock A:

White/Vanilla Card Stock:
– 1 piece 5-1/4 x 4 for writing a longer message

Die Cuts, Embellishments, Stamps:– small ribbon, small embellishments

Cut and score one cardstock base piece as shown below.

Cut the non-directional DSP as follows. If you want to use directional DSP, cut 2 pieces of DSP 4 x 2-3/4 and cut each piece separately.

The key to this card is to rotate the cut & scored base so it looks like this. It can be rotated either direction. Add then DSP pieces and the small piece for your message or add decoration to the “backside” of the part that stands up.

Here is my card with the added base:

Clue #1… gather your supplies All measurements in inches.
Colored Card Stock A: –
1 piece 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score on long side @ 4-1/4  OR– 1 piece 4-1/4 x 11, score on long side @ 5-1/2  (You can make this card on just a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 base)
– 1 @ 3-1/4 x 4-1/2. (maybe slightly narrower so it will slide)
Colored Card Stock B: (complimentary to base)
– 1 @ 4 x 5-1/4 for card front 
Designer Series Paper (DSP) : 
– 1 @ 3-3/4 x 5 (front of card)
White/Vanilla Card Stock:– 1 @ 4 x 5-1/4 for the inside of the card, if your base is dark
scraps for other things
Other things:- DIMENSIONALS are essential for this card- Iong skinny punch or die, circle punch (about 1″ in diameter)- you will need a theme for your card, flowers, Halloween, birthday and at least one item for the front of your card, not too big.  you may want to wait and see how the card goes together!

This is a Tab Slider card. It may also be called a Double Slider card, but those are usually a little different. Adhere the DSP to the complimentary cardstock for the card front. Do NOT adhere to the card base. Measure in about 3/4″ from the left side of this panel. Measure down 1″ from the top and up 1″ from the bottom along that 3/4″ inset from the side. Draw a line from top to bottom. If you are not using black or really dark complimentary cardstock, you can draw this line on the back of the panel. Use the line to guide where you punch or cut out the slot. This needs to be the width of a dimensional. Now punch a 1/2 circle at the top of the panel. It can be centered or offset to the right. ALTERNATIVE: Center the slot if you are using a large image to slide on the front.

Now, center the slider piece of cardstock (3-1/4 x 4-1/2) same color as the base at the top and on the backside of the panel. Punch a hole for the ribbon to show in the semicircle. Decorate the front of the slider panel. About the top 2/3 of the slider will be visible. Tie a ribbon through the hole. Center the slider on the back of the front panel at the top. Turn it over and add a dimensional towards the bottom of the slot. Add the die cut to the top of the dimensional watching the left edge of the card. Apply strong adhesive around the edge of the backside of the front panel, allowing the slider to move up and down. If adding something thick to the slider, use thin dimensional tape. Adhere to the card base. Add a sentiment to the front, message inside, embellish!
