Happy Hibiscus Bundle Latch Slider card

 WOW!
This is a fun Latch Slider card!

Isn't it so pretty!

 

This is one of the cards that everyone joining me at my

April monthly stamp classes will be making!

 

I made a Latch Slider card a few years ago.

You can CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT CARD/POST! 

This is a gate fold card.

The flowers are attached to a circle latch & they just slide off.

This is what the card looks like when it is opened up! 

 

How did I make the Latch Slider?? 

I used 4 different circles.

*1- Die cut Circle from Spotlight on Nature dies- it is approx. 2 3/4" diameter

*1- 2 1/2" Circle

*2- 2 3/4" Circles- fold these both in half

*You will now adhere the circles all together to make the latch.

Look how I adhered them together.....

 

The 2 circles that are folded in half are attached to the 

2 1/2" Fresh Freesia Circle as shown above.

NOTICE that I over lapped the folded circles over each other just a bit.

You will want to make sure they are over lapped.

If you do not over lap these 2 circles like shown above, 

then you will have a wider gap on your card front.

So it is very important to make sure that they are over lapped.

 

Now you will adhere the other side of the folded white circles to the 

back side of the die cut LARGER Circle.

 

NOW add your flowers & yours leaves to the die cut LARGER Circle.

I suggest that you slide it onto your card when adding these.

As that way you'll get them in the correct spot that you want them.

I added the flowers with dimensionals.

And I added the leaves & the word strip using Glue Dots.

Don't you want to make this card too?

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp sets:

• 'Happy Hibiscus'- flowers & words on card front
• 'Layering Leaves'- words for inside of card- LAST CHANCE LIST

• Fresh Freesia- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8"- fold for card base
