LOL!! I have just spent an hour doing this and then the bolggy refused to accept it.

So Here goes again! Posting tonight as I may be going out tomorrow, for the day, don't know where or when SO just in case. Here goes. BE PREPARED IT IS A VERY LONGY.

This card is a push me pull me sliding card.



Take two pieces of cardstock, 18cm wide x 12.5cm tall, place one face down and taking a metre of ribbon place across the top and put double sided tape all around the edges as shown.



Take the other piece and place directly on top.



Then taking a a plain piece of paper, 17cm wide x 11.5 cm tall decorate and stick down in position as shown, remember not to make it 3d as it will not slide later on.

I have used Faux stitching, one layer of kate knights decoupage, and the butterfly stamp from the Dovecraft easy stamper set. this is your decorated insert, put this to one side for later.


now we need to make the outer covers. For this we need 4 pieces of chip/mountboard, 10cm wide x 14.5cm tall and 4 pieces of matching papers, 12cm wide x 16.5cm tall.

place a piece of paper face down stick the mountboard in the middle, cut the corners of the paper as shown and place double sided tape around the edges maked with black dots. Making sure you use a thin tape as you want the paper to completely cover it, or it may jam up the sliding later on.

tuck the paper around, do all four pieces the same


Okay now we need to assemble the card.

Take two pieces of the covered mountboard, place them face down side by side and place the decorated insert on the top in the middle as shown in the photograph, mark the position of the ribbon on both sides.

Take the insert away and place double sided tape as shown in the photograph.


Place the decorative insert back on top and the other two pieces as shown



take away the tape backing and place the two top mountboard covers directly over the bottom two. tie the ribbon to the right handside in a bow and decorate as desired.
Finished Card



Undo the bow, pull the sides gently and you should reveal the inside decoration.

made a smirk one this afternoon
