Slimline cards are all the rage right now and they are a nice change from the typical A2 cards cardmakers usually create. But, for this slimline, I added a little extra fun by making it a pull out card too! You can watch the adorable Gnome couple “float” down the creek in their leaf boat! What a super fun card! Lisa~

Supplies for Pull Out Slimline Card

Check out the full list of supplies at the end of this post.

Step One:

On white cardstock, stamp the gnome couple with black inkpad. Color the image with chalk pencils and cut out. Layer the image on black cardstock and cut out again. Add a little shine to the image with a glitter pen. Cut the cardstock as follows: Green 9 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ fold in half to create the base card 9 1/4″W x 4 1/4″H. Orange 9″ x 4″ and Yellow 8 3/4″ x 3 3/4″.

Step Two:

Adhere two pieces of green cardstock together to create a firmer handle. Cut the “T” shape 3 1/2″H x 1/4″W. The top portion of the “T” is 1″. Next, cut a second piece of green cardstock 1″H x 1/4″ wide. This piece is used to keep the handle from shifting.

Step Three:

On the back of the patterned paper, cut a small “V” shape. Next, cut two slits 3″ long, leaving a 3/8″ in between slits. Note: These measurements are specific to this card. The patterned paper is precut 8 1/2″W x 3 1/2″H.

Step Four:

Insert the handle by pushing the “T” part into the slits from the right side of the patterned paper.

Step Five:

Fold the “T” shape over and adhere together with double-sided tape being careful not tape any other areas.

Step Six:

On the back of the patterned paper, add a small dot of glue on each side of the small piece of green cardstock. Do not glue the handle. For the sign, cut red cardstock 1 1/2″ x 1″ and yellow 1 1/4″ x 3/4″. Stamp saying with black inkpad. Attach embroidery floss and brad to sign, and then add a piece of foam tape to adhere the sign to the patterned paper.

To finish the card, cut a small piece of foam tape to the folded part of the handle and adhere the gnome couple image. Attach a button to the handle with double-sided tape. Adhere the green base card, orange and yellow pieces of cardstock together with glue. Add the patterned paper to the card using double-sided tape, again being careful not to apply any tape to the handle. That’s it! You have now created an interactive slimline card!
