Help remembering interactive card design

[Carol W]

I think I saw this in a video tutorial at some point (and didn't just dream it, or am mis-remembering 2 things smushed together, LOL). It was sort of like a double slider. When you first view the card, there are 2 characters at opposite ends of a slider-type track. When you pulled a tab, 2 characters travelled along the track and came together to meet in the centre.



Among my bookmarked tutorials I've found a few that use the strip of grocery bag method for doing a double slider where you pull one end and both ends slide out, but I could swear I also saw one a while back where a similar "belt" mechanism caused items to slide toward each other (and not just one sliding to the other side like a regular pull-tab, but both moving).



If anyone has heard of this or remembers seeing something, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

I don't know how to post the link,but if you go to You Tube and type in 

<yt-formatted-string force-default-style="" class="style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer" style="word-break: break-word;">Double Slider Card using a Plastic Grocery Bag  it'll bring up a video from Dawn showing the card with the plastic bag as the slider.</yt-formatted-string>

I think I saw something like that on Jennifer McGuire’s YouTube page. 

I found this one, but it has two slider pulls:

But she also has this one where the item pulls in a different direction than the pull tab:

Thanks, ladies! I know the Dawn video you're talking about and I remember seeing those Jennifer McGuire videos.

As luck would have it, I actually found the video that I remembered! If you watch, you'll see that pulling one tab moves 2 pieces in opposite directions coming toward the centre. It's a great feat of paper engineering.

I knew we had a couple of Beate's older tutorials that used a grocery bag - they're not what you're looking for, but they're here:

Thanks, everyone!  This is great, as I now have a nice array of "grocery bag slider" options to play with.
