Safari Slimline Slider Card

Welcome back Scrappin' Cottage friends!

Kris here to share some Monday inspiration with you☺  I made a Safari-themed Pull Tab Slimline Slider card (that's a mouthfull! LOL!)  I made this for my great-nephew's 6th birthday.

COTTAGECUTZ PRODUCTS:

SUPPLIES:
small magnets
foam tape or strips
ink blending ink pads
glue

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Cut base (green) at 7-3/4" x 9" 
-- score the shorter edge at 3-7/8"
Cut (black) at 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" 
• Cut (black) at 3/4" x 2-1/8" (cut 2 of these)
• Die cut (white) largest Scallop Stitched Rectangle Slimline
• Die cut Safari elements (die cut the cruiser 2x)


DESIGN STEPS:

• With the black layer, use the extended die technique to elongate the cut using the 2nd smallest Nested Rectangles Slimline set as pictured below.


• With the white scalloped layer, die cut the lower portion as pictured using the straightest die from the Hills Slimline set.


• Add vintage photo D.O. ink (or color of your choice) to the lower scalloped part.

• Ink blend the top scalloped part with D.O. wild honey, carved pumpkin, crackling campfire, and candied apple (or colors of your choice).



• Color the Safari die cuts (if cut from white cardstock) 


• Add glue to the TOP only of black layer, leaving 1/8" border around top and sides and add TOP scalloped layer.


• Glue the tree to the bottom of the top scalloped layer as shown below.

• Add glue to bottom of black layer, leaving 1/8" border and add BOTTOM scalloped layer, overlapping the top just a tiny bit.


• Affix the rest of your Safari die cuts.


•  On the back of the safari cruiser, add 2 magnets (I used glue and Scor Tape):  one towards the front and one towards the back.  (I used 3 because I messed up on the placement of my slider wrapper the first time, so I went back and added a 3rd magnet and moved my wrapper.)  


• Add glue and/or Scor Tape to magnets and add the 2nd cruiser on top.  Cover up backside as much as you can w/out adding builk.


• Add glue to the center of both slider wrappers as shown below.


• Add one near the edge of opening on the back and glue the next one 1/2" - 3/4" away from the first (see photo below)

**Important:  the placement of the 2nd Wrapper prevents the Cruiser from running over our baby gorilla when the magnet hits the wrapper!!

• On the front, place cruiser to the far right of card and holding it there, turn card over and place your magnets where they automatically want to attract them.  

•  Add foam strips or tape to the back, around edges and close to the slider opening without hindering it from moving.  


• Add glue to magnets and carefully slide the slider tab thru the wrappers and over the magnets.  You will have 1/4" of the tab sticking out -- this is what you'll need to grab and pull the slider.  


• Pull slider out and write your sentiment, or emboss a stamped sentiment in white!  I used a white and a gold sparkly pen.


• Remove tape backings and attach to center of card front!

Hello Spring Chicken Pop Up Slider Treat Box

Happy Terrific TuesDIE Scrapping Cottage friends!
Melinda here with you for another fun Tuesday. My project features a couple of dies from the marvelous new SPRING RELEASE along with some others!  Here's what I created.


I decided to make a little Pop Up treat box! Check out this fun interactive box.
Here it is closed and standing on an angle.

Here's a look at it with the little "drawer" slightly opened.

I started by creating the box base. It comes from a 7x7 piece of cardstock. I simply scored it on all four sides at 1" and 2" . I cut the squares and trimmed in the "flaps" just slightly.

I added adhesive and began to fold the sides up.

I made sure to add some ribbon around one of the two sides that has the flaps. This way the ribbon wouldn't pull out as I used it as a "pull" See photo above and below.

I turned in all four sides and that gave the interior of the box some sturdiness and gave it a finished off look.

Next, I turned to making the box "top" or belly band if you will. I used the largest die from the Slimline Stitched Rectangle set. I then scored it to match the top and sides.




I then added glue to the back side of the largest slimline scallop stitched die. I glued this to the pink "top" we just made. See photos above and below.


I scored the mats again once the white was adhered to the pink.




I then used the second smallest die from the double stitched rectangle set.

I ran it through my die cut machine a couple of times and it cut out fine. 


Next, I burnished the score lines and then ran a bead of glue along one of the seams and adhered the two ends together. 


I cut a strip of pink paper 1x4". Scored it and that is the base for the easel part.
Once I attached it to the under side 

Here's what it looks like with nothing in the box and once it was adhered to the inner top of the top and the center of the inside of the box. Here are some additional photos at varying stages of it opening.


Here is a pic of it closed.


I proceeded to decorate one of the square scallop eyelet stitched dies with the cute Spring Chicken Die. I added the word Hello from the Hello Spring Bunny Cottage Die.

Here is another photo of the sweet little box open. Inside is a bunch of sweet "chewy" little (bubblegum) eggs.
