Oh this is a truly fun fold… and it is easier than you think :O) It’s called a puzzle slider card and I saw this demonstrated by Susan Campfield. So here ya go with my creation…

Do you love that airplane or what?! This card begins as a mini z fold card and then side pieces are added that make it a puzzle – clever, right? Here’s the view from the top.

The card base is Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 9 1/2 and scored @ 1, 2, 7 1/2 & 8 1/2. When I scored @ 1″ I did it just slightly LESS THAN 1″ (not even 15/16ths)- and on the 8 1/2 score, just slightly MORE THAN 8 1/2 ( not even 8 9/16ths). Crease these well – mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Then add your front panels:

• * Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 3 1/4 in Night of Navy
• * Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 2 1/4 in Night of Navy
• * add DSP to these panels by first cutting DSP @ 5 x 3 3/4: this creates a continuous pattern for both top and lower panels :O)
  • – cut on short side @ 1 7/8 creating two panel s 1 7/8 x 5; cut top panel on long side @ 3″ ; cut lower panel on long side @ 2″.
  • My card front is not DSP – I created this image with the cloud stamps in Adventurous Sky stamp set and Boho Blue ink. I then used my Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink to add more depth to the panel – then I cut it as directed above.
  • I used the Adventurous Sky Dies to create the airplane: Cajun Craze card stock for the body, Smoky Slate card stock for the wings and Basic Black for the propellers. I adhered these together with dots of liquid glue and attached it to the left portion of the card front.

You can see in the photo above, the placement of the mini dimensionals so it would adhere only to the left side of the card front.

I wanted a sentiment and loved this particular one in the Adventurous Sky stamp set – stamped it in Cajun Craze ink and die cut it with the Everyday Detail Dies, adhered it in place with dimensionals. I added a single Industrial Trinket from this suite of products.

For the inside, I adhered a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 14). For a sentiment I stamped this fun sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue in and die cut it with the largest could die in the Adventurous Sky Dies. I adhered it in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope I added a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP using a Cajun Craze pattern and stamped the smallest airplane image in the lower right – in Cajun Craze inkn – and forgot to photograph it for you!!! GRRR. You will have to use your imagination :O)
