Double Slider Birthday Card

 I recentlly attended the Card Maker Success Summit, and Einat Kessler demonstrated how to create a double slider card during her presentation. I need a birthday card for my husband this month, so I decided to create a camping-themed card using the double slider card design.

I started by choosing Altenew's Stencil Art: Serene Landscapes stencil set to create all the background panels. I used the following Altenew inks: Desert Night, Reindeer Moss, Lime, and Choco Hazelnut. I used Altenew's Antique Silver Shimmer Relief Paste for the starry skies. I stamped "happy birthday" using a stamp from Altenew's Bouquet of Poppies set. 

Then I created the card base and adhered all the panels together as Einat showed in her video. If you'd like to see how to create this card, I found the same video I watched during the CMSS on Einat's YouTube channel from a few years ago here: 12 Cards of Christmas 2021 - Double Slider Card. You can download the measurements for free, also. 

Once I had the card assembled, I die cut the camper using Altenew's Cute Camper Layering Die Set. I added it to the card front using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. My husband loves camping, so I think he's going to enjoy this card. 

I've recently become an affiliate for Altenew, so if you are interested in ordering something lovely from Altenew and would like to use my link, thank you very much! Here's the link: Carrie's Altenew affiliate page

    1. Thank you so much, Brenda! I was a little confused by your comment at first and then remembered “holiday” means “vacation” for you rather than Christmas time. 😊

  17. Cute, cute, cute! You created such a wonderful scene and the double slider element is a fun surprise. Interactive cards are not my area of creativity. I would love to find a class to make them. Wish your husband my birthday greetings!
