Inspired by the interactive cards in the March 2008 Paper Crafts magazine.
I liked Nichole Heady's Secret Wish Card using a Secret Keeper Card made by Urban Lily (shown on pg 90). So ... I decided to try and make a card that had the same type of slider action ... and this is the result! ;)
For this type of slider card - the sides of the card move apart to reveal the inside pocket and sentiment. I used a brad and made a slider track on each side of the inside pocket for the card to slide open and closed on. The brad and slider track remain hidden when the sides are pulled open.
Closed view can be seen HERE
... TFL and hope you like it!

Very cute. I liked that card as well when I saw it in Paper Crafts. This is a lovely version - how clever that you were able to make this yourself. I think the card in the magazine was from a pre-made card.

This is my first attempt at making a tutorial, so if I've forgotten any details, or you have any questions, please feel free to PM me! Also, if you make a Secret Slider Card ~ I would love to see it!!
Thank you so much! I was just about to copy this out of Paper Crafts when I realized their instructions... weren't there! This is very helpful, and your finished card is beautiful!
