There is a great SCS technique challenge that calls for a dimensional frame on your card. I thought this would translate well onto a T slide card. The finished dimensions on this card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 (A2). The T Slide card can be adapted to any size card. The slide mechanism works best if you make sure that there is at least 3/4" frame on all sides around the sliding center piece. This allows for the sticky strip and the mechanism slides smoother as well. Again, the card is so much prettier in person. The flower has dazzling diamonds glitter all over it and the frame is glittered designer paper (DCWV)

I'm having so much fun with the T-slide! For this one, I had a cute stamp by Rubbernecker and I thought it would be fun to make some punched watermelon slices to go with it.
For the base of the card, follow the T-Slide Tutorial. For the watermelon slices, you will need the Large Oval and the Wide Oval Stampin' Up! Punches. For the bite marks on the watermelon, you will need the Punch Pack flower punch.
Punch the Large Oval in Garden Green as shown. Line up the Wide Oval over the top of punched large oval and punch the watermelon rind as shown. Punch the wide oval out of real red cardstock. Sponge the bottom half with craft white ink . Glue the rind onto the red oval. Cut the red straight across between the rind ends. Draw the seeds onto the watermelon with a black zig. Punch bite marks onto the watermelon with the flower punch from the punch pack set.

I just found out yesterday that I'll be a guest tutorial artist on Split Coast Stampers in January 2011 with my T-Slide card!!!!! How cool is that? I'm having fun making my cards. For this card, I made a full size stamped piece for the front. Then, simply adhered it to one side of the sliding mechanism.
Here is the T-Slide Tutorial from earlier this week.
The stamps are from Rubberneckers. For the cupcake, I angle cut the bottom of the 1 3/8" square and rounded out the bottom edges. I then drew some lines on it with copic markers. For the cupcake top, I punched half of the scallop circle out of a glitter paper. The cherry was punched with the 3/8" circle and attached with a glue dot. The card is so much prettier in person, as I have glitter all over it and many of the elements are cut out and popped on the front.
Finally getting this up! I had to watch the last episode of Lost, so I was a bit distracted!
I got this idea from a book called Flip, Spin & Play which is for cool scrapbook elements. I thought that this could be adapted to a card. The 4 pictures in the book was a pretty bad presentation of the technique and most people probably couldn't figure it out. I spent a lot of time just looking at the finished product to figure out how the mechanism even worked! But the good news is, it's rather easy to make, once you figure it out.
1) Cut the following pieces out of your main color cardstock (in this card, it's Pink Pirouette)
- 5" x 5"
- 3 1/2" x 1 1/4"
- 4" x 1"
- 4 1/4" x 1"
2) Using the Fiskars paper cutter, line up the 5" piece of cardstock at the 3/4" mark on the RIGHT side of the cutting rail. Lift the cutting rail and position your blade at 3/4" on the rail. Lower the rail and pull the blade to the 4 1/4" mark. Turn the cardstock clockwise to another side and follow the same steps. Turn the cardstock clockwise again, and follow the same steps. At this point, you will have 3 cut sides.
3) Place the piece onto a scoring board (or use a ruler and a scoring tool). At the 3/4" mark, score from one cut line to another cut line as shown above.
4) Keeping the cardstock in place, score at 2 1/4" from one cut line to another. Score at 3 3/4" from one cut line to another.
5) Place the piece back onto the Fiskars cutter. Line up the left side at the 3 1/4" mark. Lift the rail on the cutter and position the blade at the 1 7/8" mark on the rail. Drag the blade to the 3 1/8" mark. Move the cardstock a little and cut another line right next to the first. Cut the small slot of paper away.
6) Score at 1/2" on the 3 1/2 x 1 1/4" strip (This is the piece that will "hover" at the center of the card). Add some strong adhesive (like stricky strip) to the 1/2" scored end. Stamp your greeting on the strip. Try to keep it closer to the end with the score so that the greeting doesn't peek out when the slide mechanism is closed.
7) Slide the above piece into the slot as shown below and secure with the sticky strip at the center of the score mark. The first picture is the front side of the card. The second picture is the backside when you flip it over.
8) Create the T slider by placing the 4" x 1" strip at the top and glue the 4 1/4" x 1" strip at the center as shown.
9) Place a line of sticky strip along the 1/2" scored mark as shown.
10) Attach the T slider to the sticky strip as shown. Center the slider so that 1/4" extends on each end of the 1/2" Scored piece as shown. Add a tab, circle punch, scallop punch (as shown in finished card), etc. to the end of the T slider so you can easily grab and pull. You could also tie on a ribbon. If you want to stamp a greeting on the T slide, I recommend waiting until after the card is assembled. Pull out the T slide and then stamp your greeting. It's the best way to make sure the whole greeting shows in the proper place.
11) Apply sticky strip all around the outer edge of the 5 x 5 piece. You need to use a strong adhesive to keep the card firmly in place. Be sure to leave a little space on each side of the T slide piece for your pull tab. EDIT: The tab has a tendency to stick against the edge of the paper when sliding back into place. To avoid this, put a pop dot or thin dimensional on each side of the tab to create a little "clearance" for the tab to slide back into the card (this step is not shown in the picture). Apply to your card base. You could cut the cardstock at 5 x 10 or make it larger for a small border. In the sample, I cut the polkadot paper to 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 and then taped to a card base 5 1/2 x 5 1/2"
I stamped the flower from A Good Egg stamp set (SU!) with Pretty in Pink ink pad and then use a glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter to add highlights to some of the flowers and dots. Tied on vanilla satin ribbon.
The cute little inchie bears are by Rubbernecker Stamps. Colored with copic markers. Popped with dimensionals.
The greetings are from Small Sayings and the Hugs & Wishes stamp sets (SU!). For those of you that are curious, the polkadot paper is from the old retired Spring Flowers double sided DSP by Stampin' Up!
