Two slider cards with typewriters

Howdy! Today I’m stopping by to invite you to the MFT YouTube Channel to check out my tutorial for two slider cards with typewriters.

The one to the left is a regular slider card with a hidden channel and the other one is a double slider card. Before I tell you more about them, have a look at the cards in action, in the video clip below:

I love seeing how the hidden messages appear! They’re from the Typewriter Sentiments: Friendship and Typewriter Sentiments: Love stamp sets.

One of two interactive cards with typewriters for MFt Stamps.

Even though you can’t see it in the tutorial (I try to keep them as short and to the point as possible) I started by embossing the Typewriter Text background stamp twice, in white. Then I used the largest die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics to cut my panels. For the slider card I also used the channel die from the Typewriter Die-namics.

The double slider card works thanks to a cellophane strip wrapped around two slits cut with a craft knife. The upper slit is about 2 3/8” (6cm) from the upper edge and the lower one is 1” (2,5cm) from the lower edge… The distance between them is 2” (5,1cm) and they need to be just slightly over ½” (1,25cm) wide, since that’s how wide I made the cellophane strip. You’ll find it a lot easier to understand these steps in the tutorial.
