- Use one A4 sheet of card and fold in half to make
an A5 landscape base card. Cut the remaining card to the following sizes.
18.5 x 12.5cm (x 1 upper
front mat)
19.5 x 10.5cm (x 2 inside
pull outs)
20
x 13cm (x 1 inside
centre)
2. Put strong adhesive tape to the very edge of the
long edges of the ‘inside centre’ card. Remove the tape on the top edge, align
to the centre of the card and stick down.
3. Cut a 10cm section (horizontally) from the
polypropylene bag and slide onto the ‘inside centre’ card. Align the seams of the polypropylene to
the centre of the card.
4. Place the two ‘inside pull outs’ cards side by
side. On the left hand card decorate the left side and put ultra strong double sided adhesive tape on the
other side leaving a 1cm border round the edge free of adhesive.
Decorate/stamp the far right on the right pull
out and on the reverse and on the opposite side to the decoration/stamped image add the ultra strong
adhesive tape.
5. Stick the left hand ‘pull out’ card face up onto
the underside left half of the polypropylene wrap.
6. Stick the
wrong side of the remaining ‘pull out’ card to the top right half of the
polypropylene wrap.
7. Put ultra strong adhesive tape on both bottom edges
of the main card and making sure none of the mechanism is in the way, glue
together.
8. Decorate the outside of the main card. The ‘pull
out sections should pull out/push in simultaneously when either side is
pushed/pulled on its own.
Stepper card
Because the aim of any class is to complete two totally different cards using the same products I thought this one would be a nice idea. HOWEVER, as ladies who have attended my classes know, I pack a lot into that two and a half hours. We don't always finish the second card but I like my students to go away thinking " I got my moneys worth today ". Having once been there myself, there's nothing worse than leaving a class feeling like you've not really learned anything new.
The positive side, is that if we don't complete the second card it's always on here a day or two later with instructions and I am always happy to stay later in class provided there are no afternoon classes scheduled. I don't get paid extra but this is what I love to do. It's my passion!
For the next class I will be doing a never-ending card and a really simple card. The never-ending card involves a lot of stamping and colouring so it's debateable whether we will be able to complete in the time allowed, but we'll give it a go.
