The Slider Snowman

Have you ever created a slider card? These are so much fun and you can use the technique to create cute cards for all occasions.

I wanted to create a slider card but didn’t know where to begin. So, like a lot of crafters, I turned to the internet to see what I could find. Thanks to France Martin, I was able to recreate the “Slider Snowman”. Perfect for a Winter Card.

There are a few key components to creating a slider card:

A punch to create the slide area.
A penny.
Foam squares to lift up the cardstock so that the slide will work properly.

Using Word Window Punch, punch a slot in the center of embossed piece. You may have to join 2 punches together to get a long enough slider.

Place a penny behind slot, place stack 2 dimensionals on top of penny, place a second penny on top and outside the slot. Attach snowman to top penny using a dimensional.
