I found that the slider mechanism stopped working well after many, many uses because the plastic "belt" may have been too tight and/or the cardstock I used (pink card) was a bit too flimsy. The top and bottom where the belt folds over started bending. Still, the person receiving the card would have been able to raise and lower the sliders many times before this happened.

**NOTE! I did open up the card and did the following to make it better:

Replaced the plastic bag belt and put it on more loosely with a piece of scotch tape (instead of roll on tape).
I reinforced the card where the plastic bag belt slides on by wrapping it with another piece of cardstock.
ANY bits of glue will between the plastic bag belt and the card will interfere with the sliding ability of the slide out cards. Be careful when gluing on the slider cards.

She was about two untie the ribbons that I put around the card cause she didnt know how to open it… I had to tell her to pull on the ribbons at the top
