Tim Holtz/ Sizzix - Chapter 2 - Modern Floristry Slider Pop Out Card

Hi my friends, I'm sharing the Slider Pop Out Card I made for the YouTube Live launch of Tim Holtz/Sizzix Chapter 2 using Modern Floristry and Bold Text Thinlits and the Woven 3D Texture Fade.  If you missed the Live, you can rewatch on Tim's YouTube Channel HERE to check out the new dies and 3D Texture Fade Embossing Folders and be inspired by the projects from the Makers shared on Tim's Blog HERE.

Although it looks complicated to make, it really wasn't, the most difficult part of this adventure was getting photos, lying on the floor, hanging from the chandelier and everything in between and it didn't help that the sun was streaming through the window and the deadline for the courier pick up was fast approaching.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create a 5" x 7" card blank and 2 - 4.3/4" x 6.3/4" panels from Distress Watercolor and used a nesting square die to die-cut a 3.1/4" aperture on the front of the card and the two panels.I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 7" x 6.3/4" and scored at 2.1/2" and 4.1/2" to create the pop out mechanism.I spritzed the panels and one of the die-cut squares with Speckled Egg and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide inks.

I die-cut the square panel using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bold Text 2 Thinlits and used the Woven 3D Texture Fade Embossing Folder to add texture to all the panels and the square. As the panels are larger than the embossing folder, I ran them through twice and the all over pattern made it fairly easy to emboss the panels without the join showing. 

I fixed the panels to the front and inside front of the card and added a frame die-cut from Distress Watercolor card using the square nesting dies.

I applied strong double sided adhesive tape to the right hand side panel of the pop out insert and fixed in place on the card blank.

I folded the pop out insert back on itself, created 2 tabs and fixed to the edge of the panel with the folded side of the tabs right up against the edge using strong double sided adhesive tape. At this stage, I left the carrier tape in place on the tabs.

I trimmed 1/16" off all sides of the Bold Text panel and fixed to a panel of the same size, coloured with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. I closed the card, applied strong double sided adhesive tape to the section of the pop out insert which showed through the aperture and fixed the Bold Text panel in place.

I opened the card, removed the carrier tape from the tabs and pressed them into place.

This is what the card looks like once you have completed this stage.

I die cut the Modern Floristry Thinlits from Distress Watercolor card coloured with Saltwater Taffy and Speckled Egg Distress Spray Stains and Distress Oxide Sprays and a scrap of Sizzix brown card from the Neutrals pack

I embossed the brown flower centres using the Woven 3D Texture Fade, drybrushed with White Gesso and fixed the flowers and foliage to the front of the card using Distress Collage Medium.

I fixed the rest of the flowers to the inside panel and added Idea-ology Quotations Metallic Stickers.

I masked off the white frame and edges of the card and added splatters with Ground Espresso Distress Paint.

I'll be back soon to share another project using the Chapter 2 release. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you are creating.
