I started out by stamping the bunny couple onto an A2 (5.5x4.25) black cardstock panel using white ink. Then onto white cardstock, I inked the word LOVE from the new Valentine stencil using Fired Brick then Candied Apple distress oxide inks. Using an acrylic block and the straight tines on my glass mat, I traced then cut with scissors the shape of the hidden pull panel.
After the Love shape pull part was complete, I cut a slit on the black panel above the bunnies using a ruler and xacto knife on my cutting mat. I cut it centimeter (cm) longer than the word love. My word measured 10cm so I cut an 11cm long slit. I put a small pencil dot to mark the center of the panel (7cm mark). I then lined up the 6.5cm mark of my ruler with the pencil dot and made my 11cm long cut. I trimmed the black panel smaller so that a white border of the card base would show and fit the pull panel through the slit in the panel.
Next, on the back of the black panel I placed double sided foam tape right under the bottom to create a stop. Also along the sides to as guides so that it slides up straight. Then I added more foam tape over the back of the panel.
Lastly, I peeled off the foam tape backing and placed the panel onto the white card base. I hope you enjoy this simple interactive card and give it a try. Thanks for visiting!
