HIDDEN MESSAGE CARD
Jul 31, 2020
This card has a hidden message. When you open the card the greeting comes into view. I love the idea and the layout. It is easy and fun to make. I hope you will try it!

Tuxedo Black Momento, Real Red Stampin' Pad
Stampin' Blends - Mossy Meadow light, Real Red Dark
Embellishments:
All The Trimmings
Tools:
Paper Trimmer, Dimensionals, (Scoring Tool - optional), die cutting machine, Stitched Rectangle Dies
Instructions:
- On the 5 1/2 x 7 - with the 5 1/2" side at the top of the paper trimmer, cut up from the bottom @ 5/8" to the 5" mark. Flip the cardstock over and do the same on the other side
- Place the cardstock with the 7" side at the top and at the 2" mark and trim to the 5/8" inch cut that you just made. You should cut off the tab. Do the same on the other edge of the paper or watch the video
- On the 5 1/2 x 11 1/4" cut an opening about 1/2 from the top edge of the smallest panel using the 2nd smallest Stitched Rectangle Die
- Using that die and the next size up cut a frame from the 3 3/4 x 3 Mossy Meadow
- The frame goes around the opening you just created. That is where your hidden message will show
- Crease all the score lines in both of the pieces of Whisper White. Line up the top of the smaller piece of Whisper White (5 1/2 x 7) with the top inside of the card base (11 1/4 x 5 1/2) matching them at the top. Do not worry about the score lines meeting. Mark with a pencil lightly around the edges of the opening you cut with the rectangle die. This is where your hidden message will be stamped
- Stamp the message within the score lines. Once your ink has dried erase the pencil lines
- Adhere the two pieces of Whisper White together at the top. You want them to match so well you can't tell they are two
- Put adhesive along the two sides where you below the tabs. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO TOO HIGH! The sides must slide freely for the mechanism to work
- Finish off with the front. I stamped the image and colored it with Mossy Meadow Light and Real Red Dark
- Attach the 1/8 inch strips to each edge of the image piece. Adhered it to the Mossy Meadow (I cut the frame out of this piece). Attach the 1" DSP to the right side of the Whisper White and the 3" piece to the left side of the Whisper White. Attach that to the 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 Mossy Meadow and attach that to the card base. I attached the image with the small Mossy Meadow with dimensionals
- Add a touch of bling with three little dots from All the Trimmings Embellishments an you're done!

Delicate Wings
For this one I used Summer Splash the last of the five colors in the 2024-26 In Color Collection. I used Trusty Tools Bundle and Happy Little Things to bring this color to life. This coordinates well with Pool Party, as suggested by the name, and Pretty Peacock.
This is the fourth of the five new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop. I love this color and it fits in well with our color families. Here I have added Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia to the card as accents. I did partial die cutting using the Simply Zinnia Bundle and the Stampin' Cut Machine.
