Slider-easel - Birthday Beer
What could be better for a male birthday celebration than balloons and beer? This card opens like a conventional one, but is designed to be displayed with the base card flat and the sentiment panel pulled out to create an easel style card.
The base card folds to a standard 5x7 inch size, which gives plenty of space to write a message, or you could add an insert.
The pop-up/easel section features lovely 3D decoupage, which is easy to cut-out, but very effective when put together, and there are optional sentiment panels, giving you a choice of three different sentiments plus a blank panel for you to add your own greeting with stamps or peeloffs if you prefer.
The card and matching envelope are very easy to make, and full instructions are included in the kit.

I printed the card parts of this kit onto 160gsm card, the decoupage onto photo paper and the envelope onto 100gsm paper.
I assembled the card as per the very easy instructions and added the decoupage to the base using foam tape and pads. (The decoupage on this card is phenomenal and you really think you can reach in and take a bottle!!!) I used the 'happy birthday' sentiment, although there are alternatives should you wish to use them.
To finish I assembled the matching envelope. A great kit which will please any man (or woman for that matter) who is lucky enough to receive it!!
I printed the card parts onto matt photo paper,the decoupage onto glossy and the envelope parts onto160gsm paper and cut it all out. I scored,folded and joined the envelope with strong DST. I scored and folded the card base, and added the slider mechanism with the greeting as per the easy to follow instructions using strong DST.
I attached the base layer of the decoupage with DST and the other layers with thin foam. I have personalised this for a family member,with name and age and added a die cut key and mini black bow tie to the bottle. I also added a few dots of cristal stickles to the bottles and frosted lace stickles to the beer froth. I love this design for a male card,It's very eyecatching and colourful.
