I've used several elements from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome Colour Study range to make a slider card and I've taken photos of the steps to show how I made it.

You'll need:

Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome 6x6 Designer paper pack
Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome Paper Lace Doilies
Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome Paper Blossoms

Dovecraft Super Value Crafters Glue
 white card



                                                                   



                                                                     How to make it


1. Mark 2.5cm from the outside edge of the card, the whole way round to form an inner square. With the fold of the card to the left, score along the top line but cut the other three with a craft knife/ trimmer.Then score and fold 1cm up from the bottom of the flap.


2. Add a strip of Perma Fix tape down both sides and attach a 13cm square of patterned paper to the centre of the inside.

3. Make a "mountain" fold half way down the flap.
This is how it should look now form above.
DO NOT STICK DOWN YET!


4. Punch/ cut a semi circle out of the top centre of the card.


5. Attach a piece of card measuring 13cm x 12.5cm to the inside of the flap (along the folded part). This piece should now be level with the top of the card. Now attach the front of the card to the back with the Perma fix tape.


6. Attach a piece of patterned paper across the front of the flap with double sided tape and add an adhesive topper on top.


7. Take a black doily and cut out the centre as shown, then fold in and glue to a circle of card.
Follow the photos and make another layer with a grey doily, Glue the smaller grey layer on top of the black layer.


8. Add paper blossoms and a fabric brad on top to make a flower and glue it to the front of the card.


9. Punch a hole in the centre of the piece of white card at the top Add a length of ribbon to "pull" the slider open with and add a bow below the punched semicircle.
