I was minding my own business this week, scrolling through Facebook and saw the cutest double slider card made with the pillow boxes from the adorable January 2019 Paper Pumpkin "Be Mine" Valentine kit!  So I knew I had to try this! There was a double slider card video mentioned in the FB comments, which I watched and then watched about 3 others.  So for two days, off and on I tried to make a one for myself, unsuccessfully .  Luckily, (wisely) I used some regular card stock to make a template.  Nothing seemed to work, until I watched another video which was much simpler.  All of the videos of slider cards used regular card stock not the pillow boxes so a little adapting was involved.

Opposite from that on the top, I scored it at 1/2"  The left side, where it is notched is 1/4" from the side. The score line...
