Hooray for Surprises Valentine

Filed under: Projects — January 31, 2024 @ 11:21 am

The Hooray for Surprises bundle is unique because it gives you several different ways to hide a sentiment (or gift card etc.) behind a tear off panel. It has some great sentiments and images for birthdays and other occasions. It’s in my “keep forever” pile for the PULL and OPEN HERE stamps alone! If you love interactive cards, this is a must have.

I CASED this layout from a fellow demonstrator. I love the Red and Gold from Most Adored Specialty Paper – FREE from Stampin’ Up! during Sale-a-bration.

To make this card, die cut and stamp the pieces as above. All of the dies that have tabs will partially cut the paper so that the recipient can pull the tab, and open up a surprise greeting or goodie. I taped the Flirty Flamingo Heart with greeting on the back of the gold panel, directly under the gold heart so that when the tab is pulled, the greeting is right there. Another way to do the bottom greeting is to make a scrap paper panel the same exact size as the layering piece. Then pull off the tab for the scrap paper and use it as a template to get exact placement of your greeting.

I used a partial die cut of the long thin piece to make my pull tab more obvious. Use a strong glue dot or 2 on top of the section that slips under the heart.

You can see a little peak of the greeting piece that is will be exposed when the tab is pulled completely.

And here’s the finished card – yes the flower and leaves are also included in the bundle! I hope you get a chance to try an interactive card like this one. It was lots of fun to make. Remember, you can get this beautiful paper FREE when you buy the bundle in January/February 2024.

Happy crafting,

Kim Wilson
