cards 6th February

What a simple card, from gold mirri card we cut a bird on a branch using a Marianne Creatables die and cutting machine.  I then raised it when I stuck on to the card.  But its easy to stick it flat, then you have no problems when putting through the post.

This was a card that takes quite a bit of putting together.

You can but precut cards to make this, but here are the instructions, Take a piece of card and cut to 24 x 16.5 cm and score from one short end at 11.5cm and 23cm.  Cut another panel 16.5 x 13cm and score from one long side at 1.5cm.  Add tape to this piece scored (1.5cm)  and stick to the first panel at the other end from the 1cm score.  Take an A5 cello bag and cut a band to fit around the longest side of the second panel.  The bag should fit snugly but revolve around it freely.
Cut two tags 11 x 18.5cm (panels) Fold the small tab upward and add double sided tape to the plastic band left hand side.  Place the panel (tag) stright egde to the left hand side.  Fold this section down and add tape to the plastic band right hand side.  Pace the panel (tag) straight edge to the right hand side.
The pull tabs should slide around this panel. 
Fold up panel and secure behind the cello bag onto panel with strong double sided tape.  Make sure that the tab does not catch on the cello bag and stop the slider moving.
Your two slider tab is now ready to decorate.
The black panel was cut to 15.5 x 11cm.  the stamped white panel was cut to 15 x 10.5cm.  It was stamped using black memento ink and coloured with pro markers.

With valentines coming up, I though we would do a card that everyone could use as not everyone wants to give a valentines card.  I am using this one for my mum and Dad's wedding anniversary on 9th March.
