Typewriter Pull Tab

This was a design by Laura on the MFT YouTube channel that I recreated. The original tutorial video is here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OmzQgObdufs

It was a little tricky to get this to turn out right. I made 2 cards at the same time and somehow the pull mechanism on the other one isn’t quite straight and the word stays partly hidden. The loop slider is still not super easy for me; I made 4 of one design before and now these 2 cards with it, so it’s still fairly new to me. I think it helped cutting the acetate with a paper trimmer to try and get it even but the spacing was still tough to get right. Here was a tutorial on the loop slider mechanism that I watched: https://theunpamperedstamper.blogspot.com/2018/12/two-directional-slider-loop-card-mft.html?m=1

For this card I found that the acetate pieces for the loops should be 5.5 inches long and 0.5 inches wide.
