Bear Hugs Gate Fold Slider

BearHugs2w

I couldn’t resist these bears from “Bear Hugs” in our 2016 Occasions Catalog.  Aren’t they so cute?  This is a card that we made in club this weekend, and it is a fun fold.  The bears are on a band, and when you slide it off and open the gate fold, this is what you see…

You may have to watch the beginning of the video to get the full effect.  The Mossy Meadow pieces are attached to the front panels.  As the card is opened, they slide to create the diamond-shaped opening over the greeting.  The diamond grows larger as the card is opened.  It looks so complicated and impressive, but it is actually easy to create.  I have created a video with directions (below).  Scroll past the video to see pictures of the other samples shown in the video.

Here again, front and inside:

This one also uses Birthday Bouquet designer paper, but the stamp set is “Birthday Blooms”.  This one was created by my upline Mindy Gray.

I received this one in a swap.  It was created by my friend Candy Michael, and it uses the Love Blossoms Suite from the 2016 Occasions Catalog.

Interactive cards are so fun – hope you’ll give this one a try!
