Split Seas Slider

Originally published on January 16, 2021

Life gets rough and choppy sometimes and life isn’t always smooth sailing. Sometimes our friends need to be encouraged to take a chance and try something new. This interactive card is for those times.

This card is the first of a series to use my Ully Cat Designs’ Split-Slider Slimline template.

Split-Slider: Print split-slider template (download under Materials Used) onto bright blue lightweight cardstock and then cut out the top panel and slider arm around the outer red cutting lines. (Note: The printed side of the cardstock will be the back of the panel and when assembled will not be seen.) Using a craft knife and a metal ruler, cut the top panel’s eight mini-easels on the red lines. Next, using a scoring tool, score the green and blue fold lines – green being valley folds and blue mountain folds.

Because the top panel is adhered on three sides to the card base and needs to be raised the thickness of the lightweight cardstock slider arm, place two layers of double-sided tape on the long sides and bottom of the panel making sure not to cover the red lines of the easels. A single layer of double-sided tape should be placed on each of the narrow tabs of the eight mini-easels. (If you are using tape that is wider than the tabs, trim off excess.)

To adhere the slider arm to the mini -easel tabs, first, using low-tack tape, tape the front side of the easels shut. (This will ensure that the easels are adhered to the slider arm in the shut/flat position.) Position the slider arm over the back of the panel, making sure there is at least an 1/8 inch/3 mm gap between the tape along the panel edges and the slider arm. Hold the slider arm in place and remove the backing tape on the lowest easel and adhere to the slider panel. Repeat removing tape backing and adhering each easel. Once slider arm is attached to easels, turn over and remove low-tack tape. Test the slider. You may have to help fold the easels into the fully opened position the first time to train them. Once satisfied with the slider/easels’ movement, remove panel backing tape paper and adhere to card base.

Decorating the Easels: For my die-cut lighthouse and boats, I used Distress Oxides and Inks to color the lighthouse and boat flags, a black gel pen for windows and a silver gel pen to color the anchor. The lightkeeper’s house is cut from a pattern paper and colored with pencil for the grey stone. The blue and white layered sea waves are cut freehand as is the rocky land masses for the three easels around the lighthouse. Make sure you don’t glue anything that will impede the easels from moving. (Note the 2nd & 4th waves on my card have been trimmed to allow the easel in front to operate.)

The gold heat embossed compass on the pull-tab of the slider arm, was stamped on a separate peace of cardstock, embossed and them fussy cut. The compass adds sturdiness to the pull-tab. (Depending on the thickness of your cardstock, you may want to add another circle on the bottom of the pull-tab as well.)

The “SEAS the Day” sentiment is attached with foam squares between two easels and is not adhered to any moving parts.

Inside Decorations: You can decorate as you would normally inside the card. Because of the dark card base, I used paper that looks like an old ship’s log, to stamp the inside sentiments “Enjoy life’s journal” and “We cannot control the wind, but we can direct the sails.”

The back flap of the envelope was stamped with a Sara Davies Nautical Collection sentiment “Adventure awaits” to hint at the enclosed card is about.

I enclose a slip of paper with instructions on how to open the card. (See split slider CRX sheet download below.)

Dress Form, Flip-Fold Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made using Frank Garcia’s Buttons & Keepsakes Collection card class kit by Spellbinders.

I used one piece of the 6×6 Prima double-sided patterned cardstock cut down to 4.25×5.5-inches and folded in half. Using the fold line as my guide, I centered the dress form die over the fold and did a partial die-cut with edge of my top cutting plate at the fold-line and the plate over the right side of the plate. I repeated the process with the dress die. (You may want to practice this two step die-cutting with scrap cardstock until you feel comfortable doing it with your patterned paper.)

Watch the video below to learn how to do do the partial die-cutting.

Below are the steps for the partial die-cutting.

Here are photos of both finished cards using the Couture Dressform dies and the Heirloom Words Press + Foil Plate & Die Set with Polished Brass Glimmer foil.

The violet card uses Paper Rose – Purple Haze double sided 6×6-inch paper collection and is edged and splattered with Spellbinders’ Gold Rush Splatter Effects

A Tiny Birthday Card with a Big Inside!

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #329 whose parameters were: a book binding card, roadside market colors, plant (s) element and grid as random. I used Spellbinders and My Favorite Things dies to make this 4×4.25-inch card that opens up to 12×12-inches..

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Cardbase: Score at 4-inches and at 4.25-inches an 8.5×4-inch teal rectangle of cardstock into a 4×4.25-inch book binding cardbase with a .25-inch “binding” on the left side of the card. Watch the video above for details.

Inside Grid: Using a thin paper that is 12×12-inches, fold in half and burnish fold with a bone folder. Repeat folding in half and burnishing until the paper has been folded down to a 3×3-inch square. Open up the paper and mark an x on the back side of the second square from bottom left corner. This will be the square that will be adhered to the cardbase. Watch the video above for details.

Planters: Using the Potted Pets die set from My Favorite Things, cut and assemble the bunny planter and the cat planter using the foliage and tiny flowers in the set so that the planters will fit onto the 3-inch square grid.

Sentiments: Using the Spellbinders How Does your Garden Grow Alphabet die set, cut “Happy Birthday” from eggplant cardstock and adhere onto the grid as shown in the video above. The from yellow banner foiled sentiment of “Hello There” was one I found in my stash from an early Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Club of the Month set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with leftover floral decorations on the back flap.

Tea Party Card Sneak Peek

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for Sneak Peek Week for Karen Burniston‘s July 2026 release of ten new die sets and five new stamp sets. This card features the new Cascade Pop-Up, Square Cascade Add-Ons, Dessert Elements and Little Bench Pop-Up die sets as well as Sweet Life Sayings stamp set. New dies and stamps will be available on July 23, 2026 on Karen Burniston’s website.

Cardbase: I used a purchased (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase and covered the four panels, inside and out, with frames and rectangles of patterned paper cut using the the two largest dies in the Rectangles – Crosshatch set.

Tea Party: The teapot and tea cup borders used inside and out on the card are from the previously released Tea and Coffee Borders die set. The square plates of cupcakes, doughnuts and sticky buns along with the croissants are cut using the Dessert Elements dies. (I used white cardstock and alcohol markers to colour the food.) The square plate dies have an emboss feature which works well with heavy cardstock.

Cascading Circles Pop-Up: From medium to heavy cardstock, cut one of the large mechanism piece, and one of the small strip using the Cascade Pop-Up die set. (I cut these pieces from white and colored them with a gray marker.) Following the directions on the packaging, install the mechanism. (I cut the slotted square from the Square Cascade Add-Ons and then used one of the smaller squares in the set to make the platform smaller, but still retaining the slot. I positioned one large square plate die with the movable slot die to fit on the middle platform and still stay inside the card when closed.) Next, add the three square plates with the slotted square on the middle platform with the strip going through the slot. Decorate with food and flowers. ( I used the green leafy stem from the Cascade Pop-Up die set, with leftover tiny purple and yellow flowers that I had from the Little Bench Pop-Up set.)

Sentiments: All the stamped sentiments come from the Sweet Life Sayings stamp set. They are cut out with the postage edged dies from the Square Cascade Add-Ons set.

Envelope: This card fits into an A2 size envelope decorated with teapots cut from the Tea and Coffee Borders die set..

Bob’s Tackle Box Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team July 2026 Challenge whose theme is BOX or BLOCKS. I chose to make a pop-up card in the form of a tackle box using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up mechanism.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I folded a 10×7-inch piece of cardstock in half to make a 5×7-inch top fold cardbase. Next, I rounded the corners with a large corner rounder punch. (You could also use scissors to round the corners.) I ended up using splatters of white, bronze and black paint to decorate the card front and back beside using brown ink to blend the card edges.

Handle: Using the rounded corner panel dies in the Twist Panel Pop-Up, cut a handle as shown in the video above and glue onto the front of the card.

Latch Mechanism: The latch is cut from the set using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up long strip die and trimming off the end with the slots. (Follow the instructions in the video above.) The lock comes from the Treasure Chest set. The “PULL” label was cut from silver using a die from the Waterfall Card die set. I used two thin magnets to close the latch.

Trays Pop-Up: (View die set’s assembly video by clicking on the die set and scrolling to the bottom of the linked page.) Inside the card two trays pop-up using the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. See the video above for how I installed it inside the the card using the latch strip. The top tray is made of two strips 2×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One piece has had four squares cut into it using a 1.4-inch square die from the Squares – Crosshatch set. The bottom tray is made from two strips 2.375×6.625-inches of heavy cardstock covered with decorative paper. One of the bottom tray pieces was cut with three rectangles using the pieces rectangle from the Waterfall Card set. Watch the video above for the assembly.

Fishing Lures: The Fishing Lure Charms were used for the lures. I followed the packaging pictures for how I made them. (If you want an explanation and tips for how to assemble the lures, view my video for Here Fishy, Fishy…A Father’s Day Card and watch the video above.)

Sentiments: The front sticker of “Gone Fishing” and the inside “Here Fishy, Fishy” are from the Fishing stamp set with the oval cut using the small oval in the Rockin’ Rectangle Pop-Up. “Happy Birthday” inside the card uses Happy Birthday word die and its shadow die. “Bob’s Tackle Box” was written with a black marker as it might be written on a real box.

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with “Every day is a good day when you’re fishing” stamped on the back flap from the Fishing stamp set.

Gift Card Holder Wallet

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #326 whose parameters were: a dude’s card, sleigh ride colors, farm critter(s) element and pen random. I used Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On and Lovely Layers Wallet.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Wallet: I used brown, faux-leather, textured cardstock to create this wallet swiped with black ink to bring out the texture.The Wallet die set is used for all the pieces. From the faux leather cardstock, cut one of the long base piece, one of the frame pocket, one of the short strip and two of the plain pocket (trim one pocket 1″ shorter than the other.) Assemble as shown in the video above. Attach closure strip with adhesive only on the end ends of the strip and add as shown in video. Glue on brass brads/buttons to strip and tab.

Gift Card Holder: From the Wallet die set, cut the rectangular gift card holder which has four slots from some kraft cardstock. (I added the gentleman fox image as a placeholder for a gift card.)

Sentiments: I left off any sentiments on this card to personalize it for a special occasion. The two inside cards are cut with the frame pocket die in the Wallet die set and could have sentiments stamped on them. The card recipient’s initials were added to the wallet from using Karen Burniston’s Mini Alphabet and Numbers.

Gentleman Fox: Using Honey Bee Stamps Gallery Wall Gentlemen Add-On, cut one orange base silhouette, one black jacket and lapels, one set of creamy white neck and ears, one set of black nose and eyes. Assemble as shown on layering guide. Use a fine-tipped black pen to highlight the embossed details.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope.

Flowered Quilt Square Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I’m here today with a 4.25×6-inch quilt square birthday card using Relatively Thoughtful digital papers – A collection called Walter Crane In The Garden.

I printed three pages of 8.5×11-inch prints from the Walter Crane In The Garden collection (pages 3,7,18.) Next, I die cut one quilt square from each of the papers. I used the outline of the quilt square from one of the die-cuts to act as a template of where to place the various pieces, taping it down to the card front. Glued the pieces in and then removed the template. The top swag of daisies and the center daffodil were cut from other pages of elements in the collection.

Don’t Be Alarmed Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #325 whose parameters were: flip fold card, tartan colors, time or clock element and add a bow random. I used This Calls for Confetti and Simon Says Stamp! dies & stamps and digital papers from Relatively Thoughtful for this A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card and envelope.

Cardbase: Printed out three 8.5×11-inch sheets of digital papers from the Independent Women Authors collection by Relatively Thoughtful (two solid colors and one patterned paper.) From purple, I cut a 4.25×9.8125-inch an scored and folded at 5.5-inches. From green, I cut a 3.9375×5-inch rectangle. From the patterned paper I cut a 3.625×4.75-inch rectangle. I also cut a 1.5×4.25-inch purple rectangle.

To assemble, I centered and glued the patterned paper onto the green piece. Next, the small purple piece was glued at the bottom of the long side of the long purple cardbase over the white inside so that when the card is closed it looks like solid purple base. Center the green/pattern paper rectangle onto the short flap of the purple cardbase and glue. (Stamp the sentiments before adding the dimensional clock and bow to card back.)

Sentiments: The inside sentiments of “Don’t be alarmed” and “The hour is drawing near,” come from This Calls For Confetti’s Don’t Be Alarmed stamp set. “Happy Birthday” and “Put a bow on it!” are in the Simon Says Stamp! Put A Bow On It stamp set.

Clock: Using the This Calls For Confetti Moments in Time dies, cut from silver all the clock pieces with the exception of the circle frame and clock face. Using both the circle frame and clock face dies together to cute the clock frame from silver holographic cardstock. Turn the holographic clock face over to the white back side and glue onto the clock back piece. Adhere the bells and decorative pieces to clock back piece. (I wish I had popped-up the bells with foam tape.) Using double-side tape adhere a piece of clear plastic acetate to the circle frame back and trim away the excess plastic. Double-up the foam tape to make it 2mm thick and place the tape onto the acetate so that it is hidden behind the circle frame. (I originally was going to make this a shaker card, but I decided to glue the Trinity Stamps – Sparkle Spots onto the clock face because it looked better.) Glue the completed clock onto the card front.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with a bow and “Put a bow on it” stamped on the back flap in black ink. Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp!.

Jungle Waterfall Easel Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #323 whose parameters were: A7 card, pretty colors, photo booth element and geometric shapes for random. I used Spellbinders Weekender 2026 dies and stamps for an A7 easel (5×7-inch) card with a photo strip bookmark with photos of how to open and display the card.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I cut three rectangles to make the cardbase: Dark Blue – 5×7-inches, Light Blue – 4.25×5.5-inches and 4×6-inches. Score and fold the 4×6 rectangle at .5-inches and 3-inches as shown in the video above.

Waterfall: Using the Rainforest Falls die set and instruction PDF, cut two sets of all the rock pieces using four to five shades of gray cardstock. Make a total of three of each of the two smallest rocks. (I used gray markers to get my extra shades of gray to make the rocks look different from each other.) Make two sets of the water splashes and pooling water using several shades of blue cardstock. Make one of the waterfall. (I added more contrast to my water features with a blue marker. I also brushed on Nuvo Glitter Gloss shimmer over all the water and areas on the rocks that might be splashed.)

Sky: Using the cloud edging dies in the Rainforest Falls die set, tape together the two dies to make a continuous cut on 5×1.5-inch strips of red, orange and yellow cardstock. Cut one semi-circle from the brightest yellow. Assemble card as shown in the video above. (I inked the top edge of my 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle panel to have a purplish hue to peak though behind the clouds.)

Decorations: Decorate the rocks with vines, foliage and flowers cut from the Jungle Blooms and Tiki Toucan die sets.I cut one of each foliage and vine dies in each set – once from light green and once from dark green. (I cut four each of the pink flowers with their yellow centers from the Jungle Blooms set.) In addition, I used Memory Box’s Tiny Frogs and Tonic Studio’s Tropical Rain Forest Silhouette‘s tiny butterfly die as embellishments. (There are three tiny frogs on the card and four tiny butterflies. Can you find them all?) Cut one brown branch from the Tiki Toucan die set to go across the stream.

Sentiments: The stamped sentiments come from the Go Wild stamp & die set and were stamped in a teal blue ink.

Photo Strip Bookmark: Once the card was finished I photographed it in the closed and open positions with a side view to demonstrate the easel. Next, I printed the photos as 1-inch wide and generated the title “How to open card for display.” Using Karen Burniston’s Movie Night Charms, I cut from black shimmer cardstock, the filmstrip. Next, I trimmed the photos and title to fit the film strip and glued them into the frames. I backed the entire strip with thin white computer paper. (For more Card Recipient eXperience slips (CRX) check out these posts on my blog.)

Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) envelope with the sentiment from the Go Wild stamp set that says “Life’s a jungle.”
