A Slider Channel is cut out of the
front of the card, with an image set onto it. Slider Channels may be created
horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. This directs the use, placement, and
shape of the Slider card image. This process will allow the image to slide up
and down or in any direction within the channel on the front of the card. Two
pennies or two flat washers act as small horizontal wheels to ride within the
channel. Inside the card another (twin) image travels along the same Slider
Channel.

Cutting the Slider Channel and attaching the
wheel:
1.
On the front of the card, use the bottom line of the top stamped heart as your
guide. Start the lightly drawn pencil line to the left so the channel will be
equal on each side of the tip of the heart. Lightly draw an angle that will fit
from the bottom of the top heart to just inside the bottom tip of the third
heart. Measure 3/8” to the right of that marked angle and lightly mark in
several spots. Follow the markings and lightly draw in the angel line.
2.
Using your Craft Knife, follow the marked angle line. Cut from the top heart to
just inside the third heart. Do not cut through the third heart’s lowest
stamped edge. Cut again on the other side of the slider channel as marked. Next,
cut along the top heart just under the stamped tip to form a point of the slider
channel and again just inside the third heart point to finish cutting the slider
channel.
3.
Remove the cut section from the cardstock.
4.
Erase any pencil lines on the card.
5.
Using two pennies or two 5/8” flat washers, place a Pop-up Dot on one
penny/washer and place the second penny/washer on the dot. Place the
penny/washer into the Slider Channel. They will move up and down the channel.
Each metal part will act as a small horizontal wheel, riding within this
channel.

Cat image that has been glued to the Red Glossy Heart. Repeat this step on the
inside penny/washer, with the Heart Cat image. The “twin” hearts will slide up
and down the channel together.

Following the card example, glue the 7 sequin hearts inside the card and 5
sequin hearts on the front of the card.
8.
Edge the inside and outside of the card with the Red Sharpie Marker.
