My friend Monica shared an interactive pull-out page for her mini album HERE.  I adjusted it for a card...because who doesn't love surprises in their cards!!!  

The BoBunny Selfie frame and Carta Bella paper came from one of my FAVOURITE stores...Country Craft Creations! (You have got to check out Tamra's Facebook group, it is FULL of tutorials...like Monica's that I shared here!!)

What's this?? A tag? I used a cut-a-part for the tag front, but inside...

Tada! I watercoloured some blossoms for a fun surprise!!

The mechanics from the side.

I fussy cut the flower pots, watering can, jar and trowel from the paper.  On the heart I used Nuvo glitter but from this angle you can see the shine.

Top Tip Tuesday Moving Parts Card

Hello and welcome here!  Wow, it's hard to believe it's the last day of April.  This week the Challenge at Top Tip Tuesday is Moving Parts.  Your project needs to have something on it that pops up or moves.

Challenge - Moving Parts

Tutorial - Wiper Card by Elaine

Card Size closed:  4.25" x 5.5"

 

I found a card by Brenda that I thought was perfect for this challenge!  It's called a Three Tier Pull Card.  In the picture above, the 'card' is closed, to open it you would pull up on the tab at the top.  I changed my card up a bit differently than Brenda's, I made mine to measure 4.25" x 5.5", and decorated it instead of using photo's.

Surprise!! Isn't it cool?  Masculine cards are difficult to make, and with graduation soon upon us, I thought making this a money card was a great way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone:)  I added a pocket to the 2nd tier to pop in a bit of money, and I added a spot to write your well wishes.

 

 The pocket without the money in it:)
