Becky's Stampin' Studio: Pretty Poinsettia Pop Out Slider Card

I made this sample in Stamp Club, Saturday, so I had another sample of this awesome fold, and gorgeous bundle! The inspiration comes from Karina Stamps. The poinsettia details and card color bases are hers, how I decorated is my creation! This is the first time I've used Barely Blush, it is really so soft and beautiful.

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet (front), 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (inside), 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" (back), 2 pcs @ 2" x 3", 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 2 1/2". 1/4 sheet (poinsettia)
Gingham Gallery DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Barely Blush)
Barely Blush 2-Tone cardstock: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 2 3/4", scraps
Pearlized Specialty Paper (N): 3 1/2" square (Barely Blush)
Soft Sea Foam: 1/4 sheet
White Willow cardstock: 3/4" x 12"

To Make this Card:

Score the "front" piece along the 11" side @ 4 1/4" - 5 1/2". Rotate to the shorter side and make the following cuts/slits, to the 5 1/2" score line: 1/2" - 2 1/2" - 3" - 5".
Next, remove the 1/2" pieces from top, bottom and center, leaving 2 extensions.
Now, take the inside piece and score along the 6 1/2" side @ 2 3/4". Crease well.
Adhere the smaller Gingham DSP piece to the left side, and the solid Barely Blush piece to the smaller, right side.
Next, adhere the left cut edge of the inside piece, to the inside cut edge of the front. I used Multipurpose Glue and only placed glue for about 1" wide. You want the area near the creases free.
Now, we need to create the "guide" for the moving "extensions".
Wrap the 12" piece around the inside, back of card, for fit. Adhere into a "belly band".
Remove this from its' current position, and slip it over the "extensions of the outside piece, and adhere to to just the back of the inside piece. Clear as mud, right. It DOES work!
The final step is to adhere this strip to the outside piece, placing Multipurpose Glue just on the 3/4" 2-tone strip. Lining up the cut edges.
As you flip over your base, you'll see the whole mechanism exposed. That's where to add the last piece of base color. Again, just add Multipurpose Glue to just the exposed 3/4" strip.
Try the mechanism, to see that it "works"! The more you move it, the easier it will move.
Let's finish decorating the front!
For this version, I die cut the 4 sections of the Poinsettia from White. This is an Impressions Die, so leave the pieces in the die, and run them through the Stampin' Cut & Die Machine with the Impressions Plate (Matt), to create a deeper detail!
Repeat for the "leaves" in Soft Sea Foam.
Before assembling the petals, add Barely Blush Shimmer Brush to the top, detail of the petals. Add Clear Wink of Stella to the "leaves".
Next,,die cut a circle from Pearlized Specialty Paper and the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
Adhere circle to the front of card.
Assemble the flower, adding a die cut center, and place on "leaves", which I cut in half.
I stamped the sentiment directly onto the front with Basic Gray ink, and added 2026 InColor Dots.
I finished the inside "extensions" with stamped "poinsettias" and sentiment on the top piece, leaving the bottom free. I added a few 2026 InColor Dots.
