Festive Flurry Sliding Cracker Card
This Cracker Slider Card was designed as part of last month’s Stamp Club and has proved extremely popular. We even made a matching envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.
The card is quite a complicated and time consuming one to make but your efforts pay off by the bucketload when you see the look on someone’s face as they open it to reveal a hidden message.
Or you could hide a gift card in it for an even bigger smile!
The secret to the smooth mechanism is….believe it or not…strips of plastic bag! You really have to get your hands on it in person to understand what I’m talking about but the movement of the ‘slider’ is so gentle and effortless and definitely not what you’d expect at all from a card.
The decorative details were made using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching framelits in the gorgeous cool colours from the Winter Frost papers in the Holiday Catalogue.
And here’s a final close up of that flurry on the front:
I’ve had a lot of requests to teach this in a general class but I’m afraid I just can’t fit it in before Christmas. If you like what you see though, let me know, and if I get enough interest I might just be persuaded to design a similar non-Christmas card for an upcoming class.
Cheers
