Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey, hey crafty friends, Amanda here! Fall is JUST around the corner and I’m getting out ALL the Fall stamps! Today, I wanted to share an interactive card I made using the Sliding Window Dies! This card will be perfect for my sister who has a Fall birthday coming up!

To create this card, I opened up the instructions document that is SO helpful when using the Sliding Window Dies. I actually printed it out and folded it up to fit inside the die package for easier access next time I use it!

I started by choosing 2 papers from the Critter Country Paper. Following the instructions, I trimmed the polka dot paper to 4.25” x 5.5”. I trimmed the plaid paper to 4-7/8” x 3-1/4”. 

Next, I ran the polka dot panel through my die cutting machine with the large rectangle die and the notch die. I secured the dies in place with some low tack tape so they didn’t budge at all. Then, I gently scored the lines. I added some double sided tape to attach the plaid paper. Then, applied more doube sided tape to secure the large panel to the card base.

Next, I trimmed my background paper from the Critter Country Paper to 3” x 4.25”. I glued only the bottom half of the paper to the card front. 

My adorable little images are from the Harvest Mice Stamps. I stamped everything with a Copic-friendly black ink using my MISTI. Then, I colored all the images in with Copic markers. I added a few highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut all the images out with the coordinating dies.  

I stamped my sentiment on a scrap piece of white cardstock and then trimmed them down into strips. I used scissors to create the banner edge. I put 3D foam squares behind the images and sentiment and added them to the front of the card. I put my birthday sentiment on a clear acrylic block and stamped it onto the pull-put plaid panel. Then, I punched a small hole through the end of the panel and added some baker’s twine to it.

I just love the interactive element of this card and it’s SO much easier to make than you'd think! I hope you find some time to get crafty today and that this card has inspired you!!
