Secret Shutter Card - This One Is Perfect For The Men!

I love a card that has a little more to it so I thought I would make a gatefold shutter card. I've included a YouTube tutorial and a list of dimensions so that you can try it out too.

I wanted to make a masculine card so I reached for the new Come Sail Away Suite. It has gorgeous papers, stamps, and dies, plus cute little nautical embellishments and bakers twine. Lots of elements to play with! This one is a congratulations card. Just right for this time of the year with lots of exams going on but it would work beautifully for any occasion.

See how it opens here

The first time I saw this type of card, I loved the element of surprise as you open the card and the shutter opens to reveal the hidden message inside.

So fun! I have made a YouTube tutorial to show you how I made it here.

Double Slider Birthday Card With You Tube Tutorial - All That You Are

 All That You Are

Double Slider Birthday Card 

I loved making a double slider card for a blog challenge on Monday. It was a good luck card and really fun to make. You can see it here and if you haven't already, I would love if you voted for me. I love how both panels slide out when you pull the ribbon.

I showed it to the lovely ladies who come to my Coffee and Cards sessions on a Tuesday morning and afternoon. They wanted to know how to make it so, here is the You Tube Tutorial.

I've used my favourite stamp set of the moment and teamed it up with the beautiful All My Love Designer Series Papers to make a double slider birthday card.
