Slide & Lock Fun Fold

While browsing Pinterest this week, I came across an interesting fun fold called a Slide & Lock. Whew, I got the name right here because I stumbled over the name during the video, silly me.

It looked fairly simple to make, and it was. You start by creating a basic gatefold card and then create a locking mechanism to keep the card closed, much like a belly band does. The locking mechanism is created from four squares of cardstock.

Here is the card I made to test out this fold. After creating the locking mechanism I added a square of Real Red, embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder, then added the sentiment backed with circles.

I used the Peaceful Boughs stamp set because of the large sentiment that I wanted as the focal image on the locking mechanism. The designer series paper, Toile Tidings, contains twelve sheets; 2 each of 6 double-sided designs in classic Christmas colours, Garden Green and Real Red.

Cutting & Scoring Measurements

• Card base: Very Vanilla Thick cardstock, 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored on the long side at 2-1/8″ from each side
• Inside layers: Very Vanilla cardstock, 3-3/4″ x 5″ and Garden Green cardstock, 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Locking mechanism: Very Vanilla cardstock, four pieces, 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
• Garden Green, 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″, embossed
• DSP: two strips, 2″ x 5-1/4″
• a scrap of Very Vanilla to stamp the greeting and cut with straight edge circle die
• a scrap of Gold foil to cut with a scalloped circle die
• ribbon and embellishment

The card I make during the video is exactly the same save for the colour. I used the other side of the Real Red design, which is Garden Green.

This next photo show the card in an open state.
