Step 2
Insert the slider base cardstock back into the
paper cutter horizontally with the glue tab (1/2"
strip) facing to the right.
Line it up on the 1 1/4" mark and cut from 3/4"
to 4 1/2" to make the first slit for the slider.
Step 3
Move the cardstock over to the 3 3/4" mark and
make the same cut from 3/4" to 4 1/2".
Step 4
The section with the slits will be the card front.
Stamp this section.

Step 5
Pre-fold at all scored lines.
Step 6
Stamp the message on both ends of the hidden
message cardstock.
Only about 1" on each end will be seen when the
card is finished.

Step 7
Tape the hidden message piece between the slits
on the front of the slider base.
Step 8
Insert the 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" slider tag
cardstock horizontally into the paper cutter.
Line it up at 2 1/2" and cut from the bottom to 3
1/2".

5. Splitcoaststampers - Tutorial Page 5 of 9
Take the card slider base and turn it stamped
side down. Insert slider tag cardstock through
both slits.
Step 10
Staple the slider tag cardstock together where
the cut is.
Step 11
Take a punch and punch a little opening on the
bottom of the slider front. That will make it
easier to pull the slider tag out.

Step 12
Decorate the part of the slider tag that shows
between the slits. I added a piece of turquoise
cardstock and then the cut out flower and
leaves.
Step 13
Add Sticky Strip™ to the glue tab and tape the
slider base together.

Step 14

to the pull tab if desired.
I added a turquoise punched circle and some
ribbon.

Step 15
Adhere the card to the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card
base. Add eyelets or brads to the top of the card
as long as they are above the point where the
slider slits end.
