Just lay it on the base and center it where it will eventually be stuck. I) Do not put any adhesive on the vertical panel with the circle cut-out yet. (If you are using glue, you may want to do one panel now and wait to do the other panel until you are ready for it.) Lay the two panels on the table so the 1/2″ scored section points down (mountain fold side) and put glue or adhesive just on the 1/2″ strip(s). H) Now it’s time to adhere the sliding panels to the card base. They just have to be the same when you are done.) (If you are not comfortable cutting them together, repeat the above step for making the X on the second panel and then cut it, or use the first one as a template. This needs to be done for both panels, but they need to be exactly the same, so hold them together making sure the scored edges and all the sides line up, and cut them together. G) Carefully cut away the triangle opposite the score line. Using a ruler or a scrap of card stock, draw lines from corner to opposite corner (of the 3 inch square part) in both directions to form an X. Fold and place this on the table with the 1/2 strip pointing up. Score each of these along the 3 1/2 inch side at 1/2 inch so you have a 3 inch square on the other side of the score line when done.į) Take one of the pieces from the last step.
(I probably wouldn’t go much higher than 3/4 of an inch though, because you need room for the sliding mechanism and to be able to glue the panel at the top.)Į) To create the sliding elements, you need 2 panels that measure 3 x 3 1/2. My circle is about 3/4 of an inch down from the top, but it could be a little lower or even centered if desired. It needs to be centered from the left and right sides but could be as high or as low on the panel as desired. Adhere the two panels together before going on to the next step.)ĭ) Using a punch, die, tracing template, (or any other method for cutting a circle), cut a 2 1/2 inch circle from the vertical panel(s). (I created a two layer panel on my card so the mat is 3 x 5 1/2 and the designer paper is 2 3/4 x 5. I used designer paper panels that measured 2 x 5 1/4 (4 of these) and 4 x 5 1/4.Ĭ) Create the vertical center panel that measures 3 x 5 1/2. (All of my measurements are given in inches.)ī) Decorate the two outside panels and the three inside panels as desired.
(Click on the photos to make them larger.)Ī) Start with a card base that measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8. Each had slightly different measurements and slightly different ways to cut and assemble the pieces for the card.
Magic window cutting dies how to#
I saw several tutorials on YouTube showing how to make this type of card. Recently, I posted a card with a window element that opens and closes like the iris of a camera.
