Hi there. It’s Dorlene, and I’m making a cute slider card using the Peekaboo Cat Face cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables. I’m not an actual cat lover, but I love cat products for some reason. When I saw this set, I knew I needed to make something with them.
I chose one of the six cats included in the cut file for this project and adhered to each piece using liquid adhesive with a fine tip. The cat was adjusted to 3” wide.

I decided to make a slider card since I’ve been on a mission to create more fun interactive cards for my card box. To make this card, you need:
Card Base: Cardstock cut at 4.25 x 11” and scored at 5.5”
Three pieces of cardstock cut at 4 x 5”, 4 x 3.75” and 2.5 x 5”
You’ll also need two 1 x .5” pieces scored at .5” and folded in half for the sliding tabs (perfect for your scraps)
Place the 4 x 3.75” piece on top of the 4 x 5” piece and lightly draw a line on the larger piece where the two pieces meet. Also, on the larger piece, draw a line at 1.5” on both the right & left sides and 1” from the bottom.

Use your paper cutter or a ruler & craft knife to cut a slit where those lines meet the top & bottom drawn lines.
Slide a tab made with the 1 x .5” pieces into the two slits. Add double-sided tape to both sides.

On the back side, center and adhere the 2.5 x 5” piece to the two tabs. You can play with this to make sure it is sliding correctly and even to the base.
Turn this piece over to the front and before adding the sliding element (our cat!), place the 4 x 3.75” piece on it to determine where to place it. Once that is determined, remove the adhesive backing and place the cat on the tabs.

You can decorate the front as desired. I used patterned paper and a simple greeting since I wanted all the attention to be on the cute cat face.

To complete the card, you’ll place the entire sliding portion to a card base. Use either foam tape or stacked cardstock strips to the bottom & sides of the sliding mechanism allowing some wiggle room. You can certainly add the sliding mechanism directly to the card base, but adding a little bit of height will allow it to slide more easily.
