I made them with fun colors, although two families, because I couldn't decide which I liked better. The front two cards are in the envelope ready position. Then the middle part slides upward to create a self standing card. Thus "slide" rather than "pop". : )
The base of the card measures 4.25" x 11". You're going to score along the 11" side at 1", 2.75", 3.75", 5.5", 7.25", 8.25", and 10". The focal consists of several layers:
Cardstock layer: 2.75" x 5.5" - here it's Canary and Lemon
Focal mat layer: 2.5" x 5.25" (there's another one this size on the back for you to write a greeting and is cardstock) - here it's B&T and white cardstock (on the back)
Focal layer: 2.25" x 5" - here it's Sweet Leaf and Lilac
The front "celebrate" was stamped on B&T paper that measures 0.75" x 4"
On the 5.5" score line, you are going to want to cut out a slit from about 0.75" to 3.5" on either side of the score line. That's creating the space needed to have the focal slide through so it can stand.
