Night of Bethlehem Slider Pull Tab card

For some reason I wanted to make an interactive Christmas card  and what resulted  was a pull tab slider card, using the Night of Bethlehem stamp set


On the top of a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the image of the Bethlehem village in Night of Navy, as well as  a cluster of stars. Because these images seemed to dark against Mary and Joseph, they were covered with Vellum.

Using the Classic Label punch, I punched a track about  1/2" from each side (I inserted the punch as far as it would go).

A 1 1/4 by 5" strip (the pull tab) was laid behind this track, and after turning the card front over, strips of foam tape were applied above and below the tab as well as the bottom of the card front.
Turning the card front back over, a double layer of small dimensionals was placed in the far left track to act as a stop. The protective cover on these dimensionals was not removed.  A row of 3 more small dimensionals was added to the pull tab, and a Sparkle Oval punchie was added to this pull tab. Three regular size dimensionals was placed on the top of this punchie

A 3 by 5" of Night of navy cardstock with a strip of Sparkle glitter paper on top was adhered using strips of foam tape on 3 sides, over the track.

The stamped and die cut Mary and Joseph was added to the punchie with them extending  over the 3 by 5 Night of Navy card stock. A practice pull movement successfully moved the two on their donkey across the desert.



The sentiment, embossed in gold, was punched and added to the underside of Mary and Joseph only so that it moved when Mary and Joseph moved.



Finally, a hole was punched in the end of the pull tab and some Baker's twine inserted through it.
