Howdy girls ..  Well tomorrow is the  BIG day OH MY  that came way to fast ..  Hopefully the time Rich is away will go even faster . I made this card for my hubby again .. Ya know he is always on my mind  right ?   This is one of those  super cute templates I mentions  awhile back  about ..  I used cool Caribbean   for the base of my card  and whisper white for the  inside slider . Here’s  a tutorial for this  template .. remember you can always  make a base card   with no images  and  keep  directions on the back  side  for future reference ..ok back to the tutorial  .. You will need 1 piece of  Cardstock(  mine  is  cool Caribbean )  cut at 4 1/4 X 8 1/2

bone folder ,  cutter and pencil  with

1 piece of  whisper  white cut at 4 x 5 1/4 

score at 2 1/4 on each end of the  cool Caribbean ..    find the center of each end  at 2 3/4 make a Lt. pencil mark  there  when you  find  center .

Once you  find your  center,   Then cut   from 2 1/4 score line to that Lt pencil mark on the end  this will  give you a triangle  flap.. Proceed to  do other side  the same way .

Fold to make card  sleeve and adhere  together in the  center  and  the  apply  your  sq image on top of your  triangle points  making  sure not to  get any adhesive on the  inside of your card since you want the  whisper white piece to be able to slide inside Thats it .

  This is what the card looks like with the slider pulled out ( whisper white )  ..( This photo I wanted you to see the alligator so it is pulled out  some what but you  get the idea .. I also just added the  slit punch and a eyelet  to the one end so the slider doesn’t  fall out   from one of the ends ..Plus I thought it looked cute ..

Remember you can click on any of  the smaller photos to view larger  and I hope this helps  you make a  really cute template for your next card ..

OK here is  a photo of Jessie and her team mates  putting the game board together  yesterday after school ..  so exciting  I must say ..
