Easter Slider Box

Welcome to Karen Burniston's April Designer Challenge, where the them is 'Bunnies!'. After the Accordion folded card/Slider Box I created for last months Designer Challenge, I knew I wanted to use the Slider Box again. One of the ideas I had as soon as I saw this die set, was to create a shadow box. This was the perfect opportunity!

I used brightly coloured patterned paper and holographic card stock, them pulled out the Easter Charms, Spring Animals, both sets of Nature Edges and the Landscape Scene die sets.

When you pull the ribbon loop, the drawer slides open to reveal a dimensional Spring scene!

I was so happy with how it turned out!

Since I don't plan these things out, but instead create with a 'lets try ...' or 'what if ...' style. So I don't have a tutorial on this shadowbox. If I make another one I will at least photograph my steps, but I couldn't do that for this card as I wasn't sure if what I was doing was even going to work! If you are familiar with shadow boxes though, it should be easy to figure out how to create different layers & depths on the side tabs.

Since this is intended to be an Easter CARD, I added a space on the bottom of the drawer for our personal greeting. Everything was glued flat so as not to create any catch points as it slides in and out of the outer sleeve.

The rest of the Design Team is linked on the right side of my blog and I hope you will check out what they came up with for the challenge. Karen Burniston will have her post tomorrow (Wednesday) on her BLOG.
