Today’s card is one that you’ll have a hard time putting down. The Peek-A-Boo Flip Card has a hidden panel that swings over to change the greeting when it’s opened. And watching that peek-a-boo window is mesmerizing… I’m not responsible for your time lost in marveling over this fun card layout! 😆
This month’s LovenStamps Card Tutorials and Card Kits “To Go” feature the fabulous and fun Hey Birthday Chick stamp set – which was in the January – June Mini Catalog but came out fresh on February 2 with the announcement of coordinating dies (check out all the wonderful chicken stamp sets and dies).
There are a lot of steps to making this card, but I promise that it’s worth it. You’re going to LOVE the design, which I’ve updated to allow for a prettier layer on the front of the card. And don’t worry – I’ve got you covered with a walkthrough tutorial on how to make the Peek-A-Boo Flip Card. I’ll be sharing it live online at 9:30 am CT this morning on the LovenStamps Facebook page.
If you’d like a printable PDF tutorial for this card, it’s available for free with any size order in my online store during the month of February. Just place your order, make sure to select me (Meg Loven, IL) as your demonstrator, and I’ll get the tutorial to you by email!
How to Make the Peek-A-Boo Flip Card
First cut your paper to size:
- Granny Apple Green: ¾” x 5 ¼”, scrap for banner and bow tie die cuts
- Basic White: ¼ sheet for die cuts, 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” for middle layer, 3 ¾” x 5” for back inside layer
- Soft Suede: 4 ¼” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”; 4 ¼” x 5 ¾” scored at 5 ½”; scrap for fence die cut
- Bumblebee: 4” x 8” scored at 5 ¼”
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut and score layers as directed above in supply list. Lay out pieces as shown. Punch 2” hole at upper right corner of the 4 ¼” x 8 ½” piece.
- Position Bumblebee layer over Soft Suede layer with 1/8” border all around the card front (left edge won’t be the same).
- Holding layers together, use pen to trace circle hole onto Bumblebee.
- Punch matching hole in Bumblebee layer.
- Using two strips of Tear N Tape or Seal+, adhere Bumblebee layer to Soft Suede layer only as shown.
- Layers should be connected only around the 2” hole.
- Fold left-hand sides of Bumblee and Soft Suede cardstock as shown.
- Close layers flat, then trace 2” hole onto inner Soft Suede layer. Punch to match and set aside.
- Add strip of Tear N Tape or Seal+ along ¼” flap of the 4 ¼” x 5 ¾” Soft Suede piece. Remove backing paper and fold any excess adhesive back onto itself.
- Adhere 4 ¼” x 5 ¾” layer to back edge of center Soft Suede layer as shown. ¼” flap should go on the back side of the middle layer.
- Opening card ‘guts’ to the right, position layer of Basic White inside card (3 ¾” x 5”).
- Close pieces and stamp through the middle hole with “happy birthday’ image. Open card again and add stamped confetti with Bumblebee ink.
- Card layers should now close as shown.
- To add Basic White layer on inside panel, position 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” Basic White as shown.
- Hold layers together and flip to back side. Trace and punch 2” hole to match.
- Adhere Basic White layer ‘inside’ card. Stamp “spring chicken” greeting through hole onto Bumblebee cardstock. Stamp and die cut chick in shell, then add with Stampin Dimensional.
I promise that you could do this with fewer individual photos, but I figured more is better when you’re trying this card for the first time. So be sure to pin the graphic above (there’s a little ‘pin it’ button at the top left) so that you’ll remember where to find these directions.
