Slipping and Sliding

No, not in the snow - although I guess I would if I went outside (only ventured a toe out to feed the birds this morning).  Just heard it is snowing in Holcombe Brook which is only about 4 miles away from us so I think it must be on its way to Bolton.  When will it end?

Anyway, being housebound I decided to try to make this card.  It is one I got from a friend a couple of years ago for Christmas and it fits in perfectly with my next workshop which is about folds and things.  It took me ages to work out trying to do instructions for others to follow.  Chas didn't like it when I showed it to him, was impressed when he saw it open though.  Whether it is the colour I have chosen or what he does not know.  I am going to make another one using my own stamps (the ones I have used are ones I have to use in my workshop) as I always find it easier to work with my own stash.  I like the stamps and will use them for another card but this will have to do for the moment.  Can't wait for my order to come through from Leandra and then I can finish my other cards off as I need those stamps!

This is the card closed

This is it open

If anyone knows what it is called, has proper instructions for it it would be helpful.  If not, and you are one of my followers I will send you MY instructions (possibly not very clear) via email when I have typed them up if you want to try it.

Oops - nearly forgot in my excitement to get my blog out - my friend Jo has a great giveaway on her blog.  Pay her a visit and give it a go.
