HIDDEN MESSAGE CARD
July 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!

If you're looking to elevate your paper crafting game, this bundle is a must-try!
Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
Coming in September 2025
Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below
This card uses the beautiful new Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection to create a fun Backbend Easel Card. This is one of the many Suites that are on sale during the month of June 2025.
For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.
