Thoughtful Journey Puzzle Slider Card

 I saw this interesting fold using any gorgeous designer paper! It's so clever and really easy to do! I was wanting to try both the fold, and the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey DSP, so I just combined the 2.  Add a layered Unbounded Love label, and it's really stunning! We will be doing this card in class this week!




Measurements:  

  • Petunia Pop (N): 4 1/4" x 9 1/2", 2 pcs @ 2 1/8" x 2 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2 1/8" x 3 1/4", scrap
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scrap
  • Thoughtful Journey (N): 3 3/4" x 5" (one with a thistle), 2 pcs @ 1/2" x 5 1/4"
To Make This Card:
  • Score card base at 1" - 2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2" (or 1" & 2" from each end) Accordion fold each end well. Set aside.
  • Take DSP for the front, and cut as follows.  The idea is to keep the pattern matched AFTER you cut it apart, hence the "puzzle" aspect of this card. 
  • First, cut the DSP piece in half lengthwise at 1 7/8". Take the TOP strip and cut a 3" piece, which leaves 2".  Lay that out as it was, on the table.
  • Take the BOTTOM strip and reverse the measurements. Cut a 2" strip FIRST, which leaves a 3" piece. Lay this out with the other 2 pieces, which will reassemble the whole piece
  • Next, lay out the Petunia Pop layering pieces. These ARE all rectangles, so make sure you have the smaller pieces laid out correctly.  You can double check them with the DSP pieces.  They only fit one way.
  • Adhere the DSP pieces to the corresponding Petunia Pop layer. I took mine one at a time and placed them back in place on my table.
  • Let's finish the inside next. Add the White Base to the inside. I cut the strips from the remaining scraps of the DSP. Place them where desired.  I stamped my sentiment in Petunia Pop, now.
  • Now, back to the front of the "base". Add Tear n Tape to the top 1" on each side. 
  • Starting with the upper left "puzzle piece", add to 1" piece, matching upper corner, top and sides of the flap.
  • Repeat with the lower left "puzzle piece", and then go to the other side and finish. The pieces might overlap slightly, that is not a problem!
  • For the outside "label", Cut the larger scalloped oval in White.  The inner Oval is a "window", die cut it from Petunia Pop.
  • Layer together.  I used Multipurpose Glue for this.  Then, I can slide the piece around and into place.
  • Stamp sentiment of your choice in Petunia Pop.
  • Carefully add to card front with Dimensionals. (I also used a small, clear velcro dot to the opposite side to help keep it closed.  This is on a Dimensional, too!
  • Finish with a bow of Petunia Pop ribbon, and scattered Iridescent Gems.
