I saw your ask on Neil Gaiman's blog. How'd you create the card with the sliding thing? I want to create one for my partner ^^
Hi! I'm glad you liked my card. It's a bit hard to explain it but I'll try my best.
Crowley and Aziraphale are printed on basic printer paper (I found them by googling "Good Omens chibi"). ⚠️They are not mine, they belong to @akyraphale ⚠️
The card is made of thin cardboard.
These are the pieces you need:
After drawing the template and cutting it out you should have something like this:
P.s. Aziraphale and Crowley are not glued yet, put them aside for now.
Time to flip the template!
Close the card by matching the front to the back. Don't glue it tho. Now you have a window in the front side (orange area you cut out) that allows you to write your lower message on the wrong side of the back. Once you've done that, you can put glue in the wrong side of the card (green area). Be careful not to put glue before and after the window: that is where the paper strip will slide. Make sure the wrong sides stick together.
Once the glue is dry, insert the paper strip (which is slightly taller than the window) all the way to the end of the space inside the card.
The strip is in, so now you can take one tiny cardboard piece (I cut that out of a cardboard box) and glue it at the very start of the window (green square in the pic). In the meantime glue the second cardboard piece on Crowley's back and put aside.
Now start pulling out the strip gently until the cardboard piece stops at the end of the window. Glue Aziraphale on top of it. You can now glue Crowley next to Aziraphale making sure that they cling their glasses. Wait for the glue to dry and there you have it!
If you have issues or questions feel free to let me know and I'll try my best to help you! ❤️
