Surprise Slider Cards

Hello there! I am not sure there is anything more fun to create than a card with a surprise. Well… today I show how to create a surprise slider card…

Nothing is more fun than an interactive card! Especially when it includes a surprise. Today I used the new My Favorite Things Twice The Wishes Kit to create surprise slider cards, but you could create the elements by hand.

For the first card, I created a one-tier cake. But when you pull on the little tab on the top of the card, a second tier is revealed!

Isn’t that fun??

I created the cake using the dies in the My Favorite Things Twice The Wishes Kit, and heat embossed the sentiments from the kit’s stamp set. I decorated the cake with Nuvo White Crystal Dots and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pens. (Those Nuvo White Crystal Dots are great for quick, inexpensive, dimensional accents!)

My second card is a variation of the first. This time, when you pull on the tab, a cute little bear pops out!

The bear is from the My Favorite Things Beary Special Birthday Stamp Set.

Be sure to watch the video to see how these were put together using the My Favorite Things Twice The Wishes Kit. However – again – you can make these elements on your own, but the kit does make it easy!

    Sorry, my phone decided to speak pig Latin or something! Lol! I have made spinner cards and a couple that you pull a string to move the car or truck down down the road on card. These cards you made are so cute i am trying them tomorrow! Thanks for the tutorial.

    Adorable cards! Love the little pop-up bear. I’ve never made an interactive card before since it seems too complicated, but would definitely like to try!

  12. audrey says:

    your cards are awesome; i have made some slider cards before but it’s been quite awhile ago.

  13. Toni C says:

    I made a waterfall card once (I think that’s what it’s called). I’d like to make more interactive cards, particularly ones where an image rolls/slides along the card.

  14. Bobbie Bluegill says:

    I liked this stamp set when I first saw it at MFT. Now that I see what you did with it, it is just a must have.

  15. Michelle C says:

    Oh dear! Such cuteness! Interactive cards are my favourite cards to make!

  16. Monica Keenan says:

    I have only ventures with shaker cards. I haven’t attempted any interactive cards yet, but you make it look simple and “do-able”! I’ll have to give it a shot!

  17. SQUEAL!! SUPER AWESOME Designs!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE to create Interactive Cards!! THANKS for sharing the New Kit and the AMAZING Cards you’ve Created!! =) Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)

  18. Judie A says:

    I loooove interactive cards! And yours are amazing!

  19. Deb L says:

    I have only made one slider card. It took some doing. I am sure the more I tried my hand the easier it would be. The one I made involved velum and was a little more challenging. I think the one you showcase might be a little easier. Thanks for the new ideas.

  20. Lavonne says:

    Yes I have made interactive cards. I think they are a lot of fun and most people seem to really like them because of how unique they are. Thanks for the chance to win. MFT is a great company with great product!

  21. Lynne B says:

    I recently bought a set of slider dies but have not had a chance to play with them yet. Thanks for the great ideas.

  22. Angi Redd says:

    I thought the bear needed a smile too! I have been seeing this die set on many posts but it wasn’t till your video that made me understand just what it was. Now I am thinking of all kinds of ideas!! I already spent my crafting budget for the month but look forward to getting it in a couple weeks!

  23. Michal Carmi says:

    My kids and me (naturally) just adore My Favorite Things – kits !

  24. Irene says:

    Such adorable cards!! I used to do a lot of interactive cards and am inspired to give it a go again…so much easier with all the new dies being released.

  25. suenu says:

    I have never made an interactive card, but I sure would like to!

  26. Kathy D says:

    Jennifer, your cards are so much fun! I have created interactive cards before – slider cards, waterfall cards. Before the latest round of tools and dies that make the interactive pieces perfect. Thanks for the chance to win!

  27. Colleen H says:

    Cute cards both of them, I have but not like this one. Mine was a card that had a wobble on it so that the cute dog would wiggle when opened. I like any kind of card that is interactive or shakers, and most of the ones I give the card to just love them!!

  28. Patti G says:

    I have never tried anything like this before but I love it!!!

  29. Nancy Lynn Kenny Monahan says:

    Wow Jennifer, you’re a cake decorator too LOL! I have only made about a dozen cards so I’ve still got a lot to learn but I’ve never made an interactive card. I just received some slider dies in the mail so you can bet I’ll be diving in – I have 5 grandkids and two nephews that I know would love to receive an interactive card in the mail (kids love to receive mail)! Thanks for the education Jennifer!

  30. Adorable! Yes, I’ve recentlymade a triple penny slider (3 sliding images on a double circle connected track)! So fun!

  31. KarenR says:

    Very cute cards. I have never made an interactive card, but with the slider die I am ready to try.

  32. Liselot says:

    I like to make interactive cards, especially for special occasions. This year I made a surprise pop up or slider window card. This was not for a special birthday, but because I want to have a surprise effect.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  33. Sue D says:

    These are so cute. Yes I have made a few interactive cards.

  34. Laura Greig says:

    I did make one once, it was more of a spinning action, using 2 pennies. I haven’t tried it again recently. Love your cards!

  35. Karen B. says:

    Fantastic kit! I have made an interactive card – if you could a flip card. The center element flipped front to back. I think this is so fun – my young niece’s bday is soon – I think I found my card to make.

  36. Tanja S. says:

    Gorgeous cake cards Jennifer . I have made a couple of interactive cards before, but never a slider card, and mine were fairly simple. I love MFT dies, they are the best dies of all the brands I have.

  37. Pam Hammarlund says:

    I was intimidated to make a slider/interactive card before I saw your video. Now, I think i can do it. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you, Jennifer!

  38. Maureen Chandler says:

    These cards are so cute! I have made slider cards and also pop up cards but not for a long time! Thanks for the video and for refreshing my memory on fun cards!!

  39. Jessica Monte says:

    I love you interactive cards they are so sweet.

  40. Cristina says:
