Secret Slider Card with Apricotta Cosmos i

 



Hello my crafty friends!

My card today is a Secret Slider Card that Susan Tierney-Cockburn did on April 9, 2026 on her Garden Club 2 "Live".  My card is a 6" X 6" her card was 8-1/2" by 6".  I have chosen Spellbinders Susan's Garden Cosmo S4-1436 from the Summer Solstice Collection (colored as the Apricotta Cosmo although the coloring doesn't show up well in picture).  I also used the Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs set S4-1114 from the Holiday Collection.

I created my card just as Susan did changing only the cardstock size for base and the slider.  I cut the cardstock for base 6" x 12" and the slider piece was cut 5-1/2" X 3-1/4" and adjusted the designer paper sizes accordingly.  I used white 100# cardstock for card base and slider the designer paper I used was P13 Secret Garden-07and for Tin Can P13 MaxiCreative pad Pastel Walls.  Spellbinders Notched Corners Frames S5-602 was used to cut the Tin Can.  Susan's video for the card can be found here.

I cut 5 Cosmos from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper, colored with Olo Alcohol Markers V0.4 Mallow and OR3.2 Cashew for the flowers and YG8.5 & YG2.5 then shaped them using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  I cut 3 of the Winter Bough from watercolor paper then colored brown with an alcohol marker.

For the can I cut 2 of the Notched Corner Frames using the 4th largest die.  I cut 1 from 100# cardstock and the second one I cut from the P13 Designer Paper from MaxiCreative pad Pastel Walls then adhered together.   I clear embossed the can with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder.

After adding the can to card front using Kids Choice Glue on the very edge of the sides and bottom I added my Winter Bough then the Cosmos lastly adding the berries.

The Happy Birthday is from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Betterpress Through the Meadow BP 244.

I hope this has inspired you to make your own card as it really is easy and can be used for many different occasions.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time - Happy Creating!
