This card was made for Craft Roulette #214 whose parameters included for Project – appreciation, candlelight colors, “Leave it to ….” element and retiform.
Cardbase: My finished card only used two rectangles of 9×3 3/4-inches (scored at 1/4-inch) and 8 3/4×3 3/4-inches. (Skip making the small panel.) After decorating front of tabbed rectangle, glue tab to back of smaller rectangle. Cover the card base in patterned paper.
Dancing Letters Mechanism: (Watch Karen Burniston’s Designer Challenge video for my inspiration for my card.) I did not reverse the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up mechanisms as Karen did. I folded all of my mechanisms as they were designed. My strips of plastic were the equivalent of two of the mechanism arm die glued together. Use glue dots or double-sided tape when attaching items to the plastic.
Sentiments: The front sentiment was computer generated and printed on copy paper. Then fussy cut into two lines of words. And glued in place.
Envelope: This card would fit into a #10 business envelope.
