Happy World Card Making Day! Yes, there is a thing and I try to participate as often as I can. Afterall, I am a cardmaker!
I have a really fun card today. Not only is there a fun fold but there's also an interactive element. Can you say, scratch off card? Yes, that's exactly what this is!
I bought these scratch off stickers at least three years ago at the Expo from Pear Blossom Press (the same place I bought the lights) and I finally used them. The main reason why I used them was because I purchased this super cute stamp set, In Your Future from Pink & Main. They also sell the scratch off stickers on their website.
After I stamped and colored the images, I fussy cut them so I could add them to my card front & side flaps.
Watch the video to see how I created this card:
The card base is a 5.5x8.5" piece of cardstock and score it at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" and 6.5".
Cut two pieces of patterned paper at 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" for the two outside flaps and two pieces of white cardstock at 2" x 5 1/4" for the card front & the back.
It's a simple fun fold card that folds flat when putting it in the envelope but will pop out when removing it. So fun!
I think the hardest part about this card is that I needed to find patterned paper that fit both a magic theme and a birthday theme. This colorful star paper was perfect for both themes! If you look really close, there are no purple stars in the paper, but it still matches perfectly!
